Sepias is an open-source, local-first, markdown-based, note-taking tool that is built for those that enjoy using a CLI and use VS Code as their daily code editor. It is a niche personal knowledge management (PKM) solution built primarily for developers who value simplicity, speed and consistent hierarchical note structure.

Sepias is a niche tool in the PKM ecosystem that was originally developed by @revett as a Bash script after becoming frustrated with overly complex GUI-based tools. It will appeal to those that:
- Use VS Code as their daily code editor
- Prefer to use a CLI to create and manage notes in a knowledge base
- Value consistent hierarchical note structure, simplicity, and speed
The project has taken inspiration from Dendron, and can be seen as a lightweight alternative that is CLI focused.
Sepias is made up of three parts, each providing different features for the user:
- CLI
- VS Code and the Memo extension by @svsool
- Web app
Svyat Sobol (@svsool) has done an incredible job with the extension; which provides all the required core features. Therefore, it seemed logical to focus on additional features provided by the CLI and web app instead of duplicating effort.
