tesoro

Obsidian-compatible notes in your terminal.

A vim-style TUI for your markdown vault. Read styled markdown, follow [[wikilinks]], edit in place, search, link, and never leave the terminal.

What you get

Embedded vim layer: normal, insert, visual modes with operator-pending (diw, dd, yiw, etc.)
System clipboard wired to y, d, and p across all modes
Up/Down jump between wikilinks; Enter follows; missing notes are created on follow
Link concealment: [[Target|Display]] renders as colored Display until the cursor lands on it
Fuzzy quick-switcher, full-text search, content grep, tag browser, daily notes, templates
Backlinks panel and a connectivity graph view
Configurable <Leader> key, pinned notes, autosave
