`buku` is a powerful bookmark manager written in Python3 and SQLite3. When I started writing it, I couldn't find a flexible cmdline solution with a private, portable, merge-able database along with seamless GUI integration. Hence, `Buku` (after my son's nickname, meaning *close to the heart* in my language).
`buku` fetches the title of a bookmarked url and stores it along with any user-provided comments and tags. You can use your favourite editor to compose and update bookmarks. With multiple search options, including regex and a deep scan mode (particularly for URLs), it can find any bookmark instantly. Multiple search results can be opened in the browser at once. `buku` can look up the latest snapshot of a broken link on the Wayback Machine. There's an Easter egg to revisit random forgotten bookmarks too!
For GUI and browser integration (or to sync bookmarks with your favourite bookmark management service), refer to the wiki page on [System integration](https://github.com/jarun/Buku/wiki/System-integration). If you prefer the terminal, the [shell completion](#shell-completion) scripts can be handy.
