Capicove - Local Markdown search with exact source evidence
by•
Capicove is local-first knowledge tooling for developers. Import Markdown, build a SQLite FTS5 index, search by keyword and inspect exact source evidence. The demonstrated path needs no model or hosted API after setup. Public source is available; native macOS release qualification is still pending.

Capicove is being developed for people and agents that need a path from a search result back to its source. We prepared a small reproducible walkthrough: three Markdown notes, one local index and an exact-text evidence check. The run also checks empty results, unchanged re-imports and rejection of a file changed after import. This is keyword retrieval, not a generated answer. The homepage is an interactive concept demo; the public CLI guide is the entry point for running the real workflow. The captured run was on macOS arm64. The published capability matrix qualifies Linux and still lists native macOS qualification as pending. We would value feedback on setup friction and whether the evidence fields are understandable. AI assistance was used to prepare this introduction; the CLI results are backed by captured local runs.
