nb

nb is a powerful, flexible, and self-contained note-taking and knowledge management application that empowers users to write, organize, search, and archive plain-text notes, bookmarks, and tasks from the command line or through a local web server. Designed to be portable and vendor-independent, it stores all content as plain text files with optional encryption, which means notes can be versioned, diffed, and synced with Git just like code, giving users fine-grained control over their personal information. The tool supports tagging, linking with wiki-style references, filtering, pinned items, and full-text search, making it easy to build a structured knowledge base or Zettelkasten system that grows over time. Users can bookmark web pages and have content auto-cleaned and saved alongside their notes, which gives nb a combined role as both a personal wiki and a bookmarks manager, organized through tags and folders.
