Stop leaving your terminal to take notes. If you love Markdown and follow the Zettelkasten or Second Brain methodology, you know the friction of switching from your terminal to a heavy GUI app just to log a quick thought or reference an old note. That is exactly the problem neuron-cli solves. It’s a lightning-fast, keyboard-driven TUI (Terminal User Interface) designed for local knowledge management. Here is what it brings to the table: Zero Vendor Lock-in: It is fully compatible with Obsidian. It manages plain Markdown files with standard [[WikiLinks]], allowing you to seamlessly swap between your terminal and Obsidian desktop/mobile. Git-Powered: Native or automated Git integration solves the cloud-dependency issue, keeping your notes private, version-controlled, and backed up on your own terms. Built for Speed: Quick commands for Daily Notes make logging daily logs, bugs, or scratchpads effortless. AI-Ready (The Game Changer): It functions as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. This bridges the gap between your local knowledge and LLM assistants (like Claude). Your AI tools can now securely read and contextually understand your entire personal knowledge base. If you want a lightweight, powerful, and privacy-first way to manage your brain directly from the command line, check it out.
