Eidos
Extensible offline-first personal data management powered by SQLite
Transform SQLite into a personal pocket database with Notion-like documents, offline-first architecture, AI integration, and powerful extensibility through custom blocks and scripts.
Overview
Personal Data Management, Reimagined
Eidos is an extensible framework that transforms SQLite into a comprehensive personal data management system. Combining the familiarity of Notion-like documents and databases with the power of local-first architecture, Eidos gives you complete control over your information without internet dependency.
Built for Privacy and Performance
Everything runs on your local machine. Your data stays in SQLite format—open, accessible, and blazing fast. Deep LLM integration enables AI-powered translation, summarization, and intelligent interactions directly within your workspace, while maintaining full data sovereignty.
Extensibility at Its Core
Eidos features a powerful extension system that lets you customize every aspect of your workflow. Build UI blocks for tailored data visualization, write TypeScript/JavaScript/Python scripts for complex data processing, or use AI to generate extensions on the fly. The framework adapts to your needs, whether you're organizing personal notes, managing projects, or building custom knowledge bases.
Available as both desktop and PWA applications, Eidos is currently in active development under AGPL-3.0 license. While functional for exploration, it's not yet recommended for production use.

Frequently asked questions
Does Eidos require an internet connection?
No. Eidos is offline-first and runs entirely on your local machine. All data is stored locally in SQLite, ensuring you can access and work with your information without internet connectivity.
How does AI integration work if Eidos is offline?
While Eidos runs offline, AI features require LLM integration which typically connects to external services. The framework is designed to deeply integrate these capabilities while keeping your core data local.
Can I access my raw data outside of Eidos?
Yes. All data is stored in open SQLite format, giving you direct access to your information through any SQLite-compatible tool or library.
Is Eidos ready for production use?
Not yet. Eidos is under active development and the maintainers do not recommend it for production use at this time. It's suitable for exploration and testing.
What programming languages can I use for extensions?
Eidos supports TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python for writing scripts. You can also build custom UI blocks and use AI to generate extension code.
