JKeep is a tiny database you run from the command line. Drop a single jkeep.py file into any folder and instantly start capturing information without installing extra software. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux—even DOS—because it uses only the Python standard library.
How it works:
Each database lives in its own On startup JKeep scans the folder for existing files and lets you open or create a database. Within a database you can add, edit or delete records; create or remove fields (columns); import from or export to CSV; search, sort and paginate through entries; and save or recover from automatic backups. Everything is menu‑driven—no SQL or configuration required.
Why it’s different:
-
Portable: copy jkeep.py and your .json files anywhere.
-
Zero dependencies: no pip installs, servers or frameworks.
- Safe: every time you open a database JKeep creates a backup so you can recover if something goes wrong.
How to get started:
-
Download jkeep.py from GitHub.
-
Place it in an empty folder and run python3 jkeep.py (macOS/Linux) or (>py -3 jkeep.py) on Windows.
-
Follow the on‑screen prompts to create or open a database.
