Peywand

A terminal tool (command line) for managing bookmarks.

Peywand is a command-line application for managing bookmarks stored in a local SQLite database. It supports adding, listing, updating, deleting, importing, and exporting bookmarks in multiple formats via a plugin-based I/O architecture.

Background

I use many different laptops and PCs for work and personal use. In the past, I saved my bookmarks in different places. At some point, I had the idea to save all my links to a file in my Git repository. After that, I would only have to maintain this file.

To simplify maintenance of the file, I began implementing this tool. That's how paywand was born, and it started growing. Now, I store my bookmarks in an SQLite database, not a file.
