dKeep

dKeep is my personal notes app. I wanted data sovereignty: my notes, on my server, not in someone else's cloud. While I was at it I added the things I always wanted in a notes app. Command-line entry. Semantic search. A way for AIs on my system to read or add notes when it would actually help. It now holds over 2,300 notes I have imported in from everywhere else I had been keeping them over the years, which tells you I am a pretty committed note-taker. Anything I find interesting goes in there now, including the occasional bit of journaling.

One thing I care about: some notes are personal. I don't want those ending up in a Claude context that then goes back to whichever provider's cloud. So notes can be marked private, and the MCP tools simply cannot see those. Bots get the useful shared knowledge, my personal stuff stays mine.

dKeep is also the project I blame for the rest of this atlas. Building it was where I started to realise AI doesn't work well as a raw model: it needs scaffolding, supervision, and the right tools around it to behave more like a software development team. That realisation led to vncPool, Doable, roadTerm, and most of the other projects you can see here. dKeep was the start of it and things grew from there.
