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.
