About:
Buku is a powerful command-line bookmark manager that provides a minimalist interface for organizing and accessing URLs. It stores bookmarks in a SQLite database with robust tagging and search capabilities, supporting full-text search across titles and notes. The tool is designed for privacy-conscious users who prefer keyboard-driven workflows and terminal-based environments.
Key Features:
  • Offline-first SQLite database with import/export capabilities
  • Powerful tagging and search system with regex support
  • Built-in web server for browser integration
  • Password protection for sensitive bookmarks
  • Auto-import from browser history and existing bookmark files
Use Cases:
  • Managing research references and technical documentation links
  • Building a personal knowledge base of curated web resources
  • Quickly searching and accessing frequently visited URLs from terminal
  • Syncing bookmarks across machines with version control
Alternatives:
  • pass – Password manager that can store URLs but lacks bookmark-specific features
  • bookmark-cli – Simpler bookmark tool with fewer features and no tagging system
  • rainbowstream – Twitter client, not a bookmark manager but terminal-based productivity tool
