Nibras System
An oasis for concentration in the age of distractions and information overload
Nibras is a local open source system for the long-term management of personal information. It is a combination of a web-based application (Nibras PKM) intended for desktop use, and an Android mobile application (Nibras Reader).
Local
The user has full control over his/her data, without the need for a (fast) internet connection, and without all the distractions and information overload that the internet can cause.
Open source
The user has control over the system itself too, especially when using it on the long term to manage the important personal information and files.
Comprehensize
It manages resources (articles, books, documents), notes, writings, tasks, goals, journal, planner, payments, indicators, and (study) courses and departments.
Powerful
It was designed with large amounts of information in mind. In current usage, it manages dozens of thousands of records. With its commands and saved searches, it makes easy to navigate through all the information.
