Kimün is a lightweight, fast, terminal-based notes application focused on simplicity and powerful search. Local-first; you own the notes.

It doesn't try to be a bloated, all-in-one life-management tool or a second brain (some of us struggle with a single brain already!). Instead, it serves as a minimalist local-first vault that seamlessly weaves into your existing developer terminal environment. Because your notes are stored as plain Markdown files, it plays beautifully alongside tools like Obsidian, Logseq, or QOwnNotes giving you a fast TUI/CLI alternative right in your shell.

USERS BEWARE: Kimün is in heavy development; configuration and custom themes may break with newer updates. If the app fails to start after an update, remove your configuration file so a new one is generated.
