Download Smereka 0.9.13 beta Freeware Free Software

Extensible personal freeform database and personal information manager.

What is Smereka?
Smereka is a program that allows you to organize your data in an hierarchical, searchable database that is stored in a single file.

What is Smereka needed for?
Long-time users of personal computers accumulate a lot of various data. File system is a flexible and universal means of data storage. However, storing information in many separate files is not always a good idea.

If you have a lot of text notes, saved webpages or random files, organizing and navigating them can be difficult. Performing search over those pieces is possible only when you have special search services installed and activated on your computer. Not all of them support tags (text labels which are used by blog-services for organizing posts.)

In case you need to share some of your files with someone else, the recipient won t be able to use your search facility easily, even if it s installed on your machine. You will have to send one monolythic archive, which is almost totally unsearchable, and describe its contents independently in a the letter body.

Moreover, if you work with texts often and use "Word" to type and store your ideas, articles, snippets from the Internet or important emails, then you know how cumbersome it is to launch massive "Office" software to view a couple of paragraphs of text.
