Selfhosted notes app. Single golang binary, notes stored as markdown within SQLite, full-text search, very low resource usage
Zen is a personal knowledge management tool for anyone who needs to capture, organize, and quickly find information. You input notes, ideas, or research in Markdown format, and it helps you retrieve them instantly through full-text search and flexible tagging. This is ideal for students, researchers, writers, or anyone managing a lot of personal text-based data.
1,060 stars.
Use this if you need a private, robust, and fast note-taking system where you control your data entirely and prioritize efficient search and organization over complex features.
Not ideal if you prefer cloud-based collaboration tools or require rich media embedding and advanced formatting beyond standard Markdown.
