Ekphos

Terminal-based markdown research and note-taking tool inspired by Obsidian.

Desktopfreeglobal

Ekphos is a free, open-source markdown research and note-taking tool that runs entirely in the terminal, built as a lighter, terminal-native alternative to Obsidian. It supports inline images and equations on capable terminal emulators and installs via Cargo, Homebrew, or AUR. It's aimed at developers and researchers who prefer to stay in the terminal rather than switch to a graphical note-taking app.
