What it is
Eidos is an extensible framework for personal data management that centers on local-first workflows. It uses standard SQLite databases stored in files with the .eidos extension and provides a modular ecosystem including a Lite desktop app, a CLI, and a legacy desktop path.
How it works
The system treats a Space as a folder you own containing multiple .eidos SQLite databases. It supports local editing with version history, optional synchronization to a hosted service, and the ability to inspect and export data via SQLite tools. The project comprises a shared data engine, React bindings, a browser editor, a CLI, and an extension ecosystem.
