Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Ztlgr is a local-first, terminal-based personal knowledge management tool that implements the Zettelkasten methodology using plain text files and an optional LLM layer for organization. It's interesting because it combines strong principles of user sovereignty and data ownership with a practical hybrid architecture (files + SQLite index) and a full-featured TUI, all built in Rust.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, technical writers
