Introduction 

    Kimün is a note-taking app for the terminal.

    • Notes are plain .md files in a directory you own. You can open them with any editor and sync them with any tool.
    • A local SQLite index handles full-text and structured queries (by name, section, path, label, and links).
    • Everything stays on your machine. There is no cloud service, account, or tracking, and if you stop using Kimün your notes stay as they are.

    Quick Start 

    Install Kimün, then run the terminal UI:

    kimun

    Or explore the command-line interface:

    kimun --help

    Where Your Data Lives 

    Your workspace directory holds only your .md files.

    Kimün's own files live under your config directory, separate from your notes:

    • Linux/macOS: ~/.config/kimun/
    • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\kimun\

    That directory contains:

    • config.toml: your settings and workspace configuration
    • <workspace>.kimuncache: the per-workspace search index (regenerable, safe to delete)
    • history/<workspace>.txt: the per-workspace history of recently opened notes

    The cache and history locations are configurable. See Configuration.
