I know many of you shy away from Cloud based applications and want to keep your data private on your own PC. This has been a goal of ours since we started developing Clibu.
So I’m pleased to let you know we have just released a version of Clibu that you can install and run on your own PC or Server.
Clibu ‘On Premise’ runs the server and database on your PC, which you can access from a Web Browser on any PC or Tablet on the LAN.
In future we’ll provide the ability to access your Clibu ‘On Premise’ remotely from any PC/Tablet, should you desire this capability.
You can read more about this release on our Blog post: http://blog.surfulater.com/2016/05/12/clibu-v1-30-40-released-install-and-run-it-on-your-pcserver/ which includes access information.
This is a big step forward for Clibu and delivers functionality that products such as Evernote don’t or can’t or won’t!
For more on Clibu see http://www.clibu.com

That’s brilliant, Neville. I look forward to the Mac version!
You may have timed that rather nicely – we’re looking to replace an existing in-house search engine.

Thanks, it is an exciting and interesting development and fairly unique to have both a cloud app and one that can be installed locally and in your control.
The ‘On Premise’ version is the same as the one we run at myclibu.com with slight differences to cater for the fact it is running locally.
FYI Clibu currently has an issue on Mac’s with pasting images and acquiring images via. the Clibu Web Clipper. I need to get hold of Mac to work out what is causing this and resolve it.
For the Mac ‘On Premise’ version we need to take a completely different approach to what we’ve done with Windows, as the app we use to make the Windows .exe is only available for Windows.
You may have heard of Docker, which I’ve done a reasonable amount of work on in relation to Clibu and that’s where we’ll likely go with Mac and Linux ‘On Premise’ Clibu versions.

Yo Neville,
I’ve been playing with Clibu, and there’s much I like, especially the nested tagging, highlighting of search terms, multilingual support etc.
But - and maybe this is where I need to go away and RTFM? - I can’t find any way to search within a filtered list of tags?
It appears you can either filter stuff using tags/nested tags OR you can search for stuff, but you can’t confine your search to a filtered list?
When handling large amounts of information, this is a fairly vital requirement, I think. On the other hand, maybe I’ve overlooked something!
Cheers,
Bill

Argh! I’ve just come across another problematic issue. As it stands, Clibu only finds full words – it doesn’t find parts of words (so it won’t find the “sand” in “sandwich”, for example). Is that the case, or should I be using specific syntax? (An asterisk doesn’t work, unfortunately).
