In their own words
Dnote
Dnote is a free, open-source terminal notebook for storing commands, snippets, and insights, then locating them with full-text search. It runs locally on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with an API platform option and self-hosted deployment. Notes live in books; Dnote creates a book automatically when its first note is added. Editing uses the text editor configured on your system, whether terminal-based or graphical. The command-line client stores data in SQLite and follows the XDG Base Directory convention for configuration and data paths. You can optionally run a self-hosted server to synchronize notes between devices. That server exposes a REST API for notes and books, reachable from any HTTP client, while the CLI accepts standard-input piping. Deployment options include Docker Compose, Docker, or a standalone binary. The web note-taking interface was removed, and end-to-end encryption was removed according to the maker.
