zk is a command-line note-taking assistant for maintaining a plain text Zettelkasten or personal wiki in Markdown. It offers templated note creation, advanced search and filtering, editor integrations via LSP, and an interactive fzf-powered browser.

Use cases

• manage a zettelkasten from the terminal
• search and filter markdown notes by tags and links
• create notes from templates
• integrate note-taking with neovim or vscode via LSP
• maintain a daily journal in plain text
• build a personal wiki with wikilinks

When to choose

• you prefer plain text Markdown notes that stay future-proof
• you live in the terminal and want fast note search and creation
• you use an LSP-compatible editor and want note completion and navigation
• you want automation-friendly note management with aliases and filters

When to avoid

• you want a graphical note editor or WYSIWYG interface
• you need to publish notes on the web out of the box
• you want a mobile or cloud-synced note app
