fileregister: permanent IDs for your files that survive renames, moves, and new machines
Fileregister: Tagging and reference layer for your files, in plain text
fileregister is a plain-text tagging and reference layer that gives every file a permanent ID, stored in a JSONL index next to your notes. It survives renames, moves, and even a change of machine, with references that keep working via handles like `car-policy`. Bind files into self-documenting binders with Markdown sidecars for annotations, query everything with grep or the companion grubber tool, and rebuild the macOS metadata cache anytime. The index is the source of truth; everything else is derived.
