# Beyond Bookmarks: A CLI Knowledge Management System

[bkmr reborn](https://sysid.github.io/bkmr-reborn/)

`bkmr` is a blazing-fast, feature-rich command-line tool that extends far beyond traditional bookmark management. Store, organize, find, and interact with:

- Web URLs with automatic metadata extraction
- Code snippets for quick access and reuse
- Shell commands with execution capabilities
- Markdown documents with live rendering
- Plain text with template interpolation
- Local files and directories
- Semantic embeddings for AI-powered search

## Why bkmr?

- **Lightning-fast**: 20x faster than similar Python tools
- **Developer-focused**: Integrates seamlessly with your workflow and toolchain
- **Multifunctional**: Handles any type of content with context-aware actions
- **Intelligent**: Full-text and semantic search capabilities
- **Privacy-focused**: Local database, no cloud dependencies unless enabled

## Core Features

```bash
# Quick fuzzy search with interactive selection
bkmr search --fzf

# Advanced filtering with tags
bkmr search -t python,security "authentication"

# Add web URLs with automatic metadata
bkmr add https://example.com tag1,tag2  # title, description, etc will be loaded automatically

# Store code snippets
bkmr add "SELECT * FROM users WHERE role = 'admin'" sql,snippet --type snip

# Store shell scripts for execution
bkmr add "#!/bin/bash\necho 'System status:'\ndf -h\nfree -m" sysadmin,utils --type shell

# Store markdown documents with rendering
bkmr add "# Project Notes\n\n## Tasks\n- [ ] Complete documentation\n- [ ] Write tests" notes,project --type md

# Store environment variables for sourcing in a shell
bkmr add "export DB_USER=dev\nexport DB_PASSWORD=secret\nexport API_KEY=test_key" dev,env --type env

# Execute shell commands via bookmark
bkmr add "shell::find ~/projects -name '*.go' | xargs grep 'func main'" tools,search

# Semantic search with AI
bkmr --openai sem-search "containerized application security"
```
