Eidos shipped 13 release events in 30 days, but the interesting signal is not raw velocity. The April v0.31.0 release shows a sharper bet: a local-first personal data workspace that is starting to pull raw data out of websites and into tables.

The product pitch on the official site is direct. Eidos calls itself an extensible framework for personal data management, with local-only storage today, sync marked as coming soon, Markdown editing, an Airtable-like database, AI features, extensions, open source code, and open data formats.

That matters because Eidos is not positioning itself as another notes app with a database bolted on. It is trying to make the browser part of the personal data layer.

The release signal

The v0.31.0 release introduced an experimental embedded browser. The release notes say its main point is access to personal raw data. When a supported raw data adapter exists for a site, Eidos can show personal data in tabular form, with persistent storage and incremental updates.

That is a concrete product direction. Notes, tables, AI actions, extensions, and raw website data are being pulled into one local-first frame.

The GitHub repo backs up the activity picture. ToolVitals records 30 GitHub releases in 90 days, 13 release events in 30 days, a shipping score of 100, and a ToolVitals score of 94. GitHub shows the repo as public, with recent release tags, desktop artifacts, and the v0.31.0 release notes centered on raw data and browser work.

The latest inspected release, v0.32.0-beta.1, was a pre-release with desktop assets and a short update note. Several nearby beta releases had little or no release text. That is not a problem, but it does limit what outside observers can infer from release pages alone.

What ToolVitals cannot infer

ToolVitals can see shipping activity, stars, releases, SSL, uptime, and public repo signals. For Eidos, those signals are strong: 3,111 GitHub stars, health score 92, shipping score 100, and data confidence 86.

ToolVitals cannot see code quality. It cannot measure whether raw data adapters are reliable across sites. It cannot tell whether local-only storage is a feature users love or a sync gap they bounce from. It cannot see revenue, retention, support load, or whether the AI features work well in daily use.

So the right read is narrow. Eidos is active, public, and pushing a specific product thesis. ToolVitals does not prove the thesis works.

Comparisons inside the data

Against other note-taking entries in the related set, Eidos sits in an interesting middle. Poznote has 26 release events in 30 days and 572 GitHub stars. Knowledge Base has 11 release events in 30 days and 156 GitHub stars. Eidos has fewer recent release events than Poznote, but a much larger star count at 3,111.

Compared with broader developer and automation projects, Eidos is smaller but still unusually active for a personal knowledge tool. LangChain shows 38 release events in 30 days and 135,836 stars. n8n shows 52 release events and 186,757 stars. Eidos is not in that gravity well, but it is not quiet.

Recommendation

If your team wants a local-first workspace for notes, structured tables, and personal data experiments, evaluate Eidos now, especially if raw website data belongs in your workflow.

Do not evaluate it as a finished sync-first knowledge base. The official site still says local-only, with sync coming soon. Treat Eidos as an active open-source bet on personal data ownership, not as a boring notes replacement.
