SilverBullet
Programmable, browser-based Markdown notes and personal knowledge base
SilverBullet is a programmable personal knowledge management platform that runs in the browser and stores content as Markdown pages in a “space.” It combines a clean editor with wiki-style navigation and a scripting system that can generate pages, automate workflows, and build custom functionality.
Key Features
- Markdown-first editor with live preview and outlining tools
- Wiki-style pages with links and bi-directional linked mentions
- Task management across pages
- Querying and “objects” for structured data and database-like workflows
- Lua-based scripting (Space Lua) to create commands, templates, widgets, and dynamically generated content
- Local-first Progressive Web App behavior with offline access and sync to browser storage
- Distributed as a single server binary or as a container image
Use Cases
- Personal notes and wiki-style knowledge base for research, projects, and documentation
- Task tracking embedded in notes with rollups across a workspace
- Building lightweight, custom productivity systems with scripts, templates, and queries
SilverBullet is well-suited for users who want Markdown ownership and the ability to extend their notes environment with scripting and automation. It can function as both a straightforward editor and a highly customizable knowledge platform as your needs grow.
