SilverBullet

Your own SilverBullet space: plain Markdown notes that link together and answer questions about themselves.

Early Access

This app is a brand-new addition to ElfHosted, and is considered beta. It runs, we test it, and your trial lets you prove it fits before you commit, but our support team does not yet have deep experience with it. Expect some trial and error: lean on the upstream documentation, experiment freely, and share what you learn in Discord, where the community and team are figuring these new apps out together. If you need a battle-tested workflow today, our established apps are the safer pick.

What is SilverBullet?

SilverBullet is an open-source note-taking app for people who like their notes in plain Markdown and their notebook a little programmable. Link pages with wiki links, see what links back, and pull lists of open tasks or tagged pages into any note with a live query. Every page is an ordinary Markdown file, so your writing stays readable outside the app.

Key Features

• Plain Markdown: Every page is a Markdown file in your space.
• Wiki links and backlinks: Link pages as you write and see every page that points back.
• Live queries: Collect tasks, tagged pages or page details into a note that updates itself.
• Tasks and tags: Checklists and tags anywhere in your notes, gathered wherever you query them.
• Keyboard first: A command palette and fast page switcher keep your hands on the keys.

Why Run SilverBullet on ElfHosted?

A notebook you build up over years deserves a home that stays put. ElfHosted keeps your space online and backed up.

• Managed and maintained: Your instance is provisioned in minutes and kept updated. Sam, our AI helper, answers questions, and our team on Discord helps when Sam can’t.
• One dashboard: Sits alongside the rest of your ElfHosted subscription, no servers to run yourself.
• Persistent and backed up: Your data survives restarts and upgrades, with a daily backup.
• Simple subscription: One flat monthly price with a 7-day trial, cancel anytime.
