Buku
Buku is a personal bookmark manager that provides a command line interface, a portable bookmark database, and a self-hosted server for organizing web links. It functions as a command line knowledge base for saving, tagging, and searching web resources.
The system features a portable, mergeable database that supports AES-256 encryption and is designed for cross-device data synchronization. It includes a RESTful API and a self-hosted web interface, allowing users to manage their collection via a browser or programmatic requests.
Capabilities include automatic metadata fetching to populate page titles and descriptions, link health auditing to detect dead links, and tag-based organization with logical filtering. The tool supports importing and exporting data in multiple formats, including HTML, Markdown, and XBEL.
The project is written in Python and can be run within virtual environments to isolate dependencies.
