A command-line document and bibliography manager that stores each entry as plain, editable YAML files and provides search, import/export, and automatic metadata fetching. Intended for academic researchers and developer users who want a scriptable, non‑proprietary alternative to graphical reference managers, it includes editor plugins for (Neo)vim and Emacs, a text UI, a Python API, and can be self-hosted under the GPL‑3.0 license.
