PKM Weekly - 2026-02-14
A look at the latest Personal Knowledge Management PKM news from the past week.
Hi Everyone,
We are back with another episode of PKM Weekly on this wonderful Valentines day. Let’s see what is in store for us today.
Obsidian
Obsidian CLI (Early Access)
Obsidian CLI is a command line interface that lets you control Obsidian from your terminal for scripting, automation, and integration with external tools.
Anything you can do in Obsidian can be done from the command line. Obsidian CLI even includes developer commands to access developer tools, inspect elements, take screenshots, reload plugins, and more.
See more comments here, and also a great question by TFT Hacker on why use Obsidian CLI rather than something like Claude Code.
Obsidian Roadmap
The Obsidian Active section of the road map has been updated to
Community directory - New website to explore community plugins and themes.
Settings search - Improve navigation and search for settings.
Looking forward to both of these implementations.
Interesting Reddit Posts
I fricking love Obsidian - I love it... so... much... so fcking much... I am an addict now, I can’t imagine my workflow without it, I’ll call my children Obsi, Dian, I don’t care, it’s that good.
Number One feature of Obsidian - What is your number one feature/plugin/dataview, etc that you use most often and could not live without?
Love Obsidian, but can’t come up with a use case - I really like the flexibility of Obsidian, and want to use its features, but I just dont know why. Any advice?
Thymer
Thymer MCP & CLI
True to his word, Wim released the Thymer MCP and CLI this week. Amazing work.
thymercli is a small open-source companion app that provides an MCP server for connecting AI agents to Thymer, along with a command-line interface. It runs locally on your machine and connects to Thymer in your browser or the upcoming desktop app, so you can just use it in combination with the existing end-to-end encrypted sync and real-time collaboration of Thymer.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents interact with apps and services. Connect your favourite agent - like Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and others - and give it direct access to your workspace: querying and updating notes, building databases, modifying views, searching across everything, building plugins, changing themes, and navigating the app, all through natural conversation.
Check it out in full here.
Next Steps
A few projects the team are working on:
launch the MCP bridge+cli app - DONEadd a some more plugin API functions still missing (including event handling)
then (multi-)panel handling on mobile (and narrow desktop windows)
and then start on multi-property support
Flashcards in Thymer
A user created a spaced repetition flashcards plugin for Thymer powered by FSRS.
Create flashcards directly inside your notes using a simple Question :: Answer syntax, then practice them with Anki-style spaced repetition.

Capacities
Nightly Program Invites
Users in the nightly group get access to a beta version of the Capacities app for testing and feedback. It gives you a chance to shape the product and be a part of helping us make Capacities better a lot faster. 🌱
Nightly is not about getting early access. If you just want early access to new features, please don’t apply. This isn’t about getting a sneak peek into what we’re working on, but about helping us get features in development to everyone a lot faster.
Contribution is required. If you feel you’re unable to provide active feedback on the new versions we share, please don’t apply. We will be regularly reviewing feedback, and if you don’t provide feedback, we will remove you from the nightly channel, and you will lose access to in-development features.
To apply, fill out this form. We will manually review and process all applications, and individually reach out to users we want to add with the next steps.
How OP uses GTD in Capacities
OP posted: I was a bit hesitant to move my tasks from Todoist to Capacities, but now I feel the workflow is excellent. I would like to share how I have been using the app to align with the GTD methodology.
Check it out here.
TANA
Tana Current with Matt and Brage, MCP edition
This month's Tana Current is all about the MCP -- the biggest shift in how AI tools talk to each other, and what it means for Tana users.
Tana Producthunt Launch of the year?
Andre posts: It’s been a while! The release of Tana‘s MCP server triggered me to make a new video on how to spar with Claude and your notes.
In this episode, I dive deep into the exciting recent updates released by Tana, particularly focusing on the long-awaited full API and the introduction of the MCP server. The MCP server streamlines the process of connecting AI agents to Tana, making it more accessible than ever before. I provide a step-by-step guide on how to enable this feature after updating the desktop app, which includes navigating to local API settings and quickly getting started with Claude code and Codex.
Latest Update
Released Feb 13, 2026.
Thanks for all the feedback for the local API/MCP! Several improvements, and more coming.
Added open_node MCP tool to navigate and open specific nodes in the Tana UI from external applications.
Enhanced MCP set_field_option and set_field_content tools with append mode and multiple value support. Can now add to existing field values instead of only replacing, and set multiple values on multi-value fields.
Fixed MCP search_nodes not finding nodes by their title expressions, using the build title from fields. Search now indexes and returns results for titles generated from field values too.
ImprovedImproved MCP OAuth redirect for external applications. Now supports app-based redirects for tools like Alter and Cursor, not just localhost URLs.
Fixed MCP tool error when clearing date field values. Date fields can now be properly set to empty using null values through MCP.
and more: Changelog
Logseq
Logseq DB - First impressions
Dario does a First Impressions video on Logseq:
Logseq DB is finally approaching stable beta, and I’ve been testing it out. This video shares my first impressions for existing Logseq users considering the switch from the markdown version. This isn’t a beginner tutorial - it’s an honest assessment for people who know Logseq and want to understand what’s different.
What version are you using?
OP posted an interesting poll on Reddit: What [Logseq] version are you using?
Very interesting outcome so far.
