DailyTXT

DailyTXT is a self-hosted notes and knowledge-base application that you run on your own server instead of renting it as a cloud service. It is a practical pick for homelab users and teams who prefer owning their tools over renting them.

The project is developed in the open via GitHub, where it has earned 501 stars from the community. Repository activity was last recorded on Aug 20, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.

Before you switch

Switching notes tools is mostly about formats. Prefer projects that store notes as plain Markdown or offer a clean export, so you are never locked in. Migrate one notebook first, live in it for a week, and only then move the archive.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, DailyTXT is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
