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.

Getting started

Requirements include Node.js 22.23.1 (pinned in .node-version) and Corepack. The repository recommends:

git clone https://github.com/mayneyao/eidos.git
cd eidos
corepack enable
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm dev:eidos-lite

Build a local unsigned app for testing:

pnpm build:eidos-lite:dev

Run focused Lite verification suites:

pnpm test:eidos-lite
pnpm test:eidos-lite:performance
pnpm smoke:eidos-lite-packaged

There is also a path for Legacy Desktop:

pnpm install:sqlite-ext
pnpm dev:desktop
