Space

Space is the data isolation unit in Eidos. Each space is a completely independent data environment containing its own database and file storage.

Just like Git repositories, you can initialize an Eidos space in any directory. The difference is that Eidos provides a container and UI for any type of data—not just code, but also documents, tables, images, and various other content.

Storage Structure

Each space exists on disk as an independent .eidos directory:

• Directorymy-project/

  • Directory.eidos/

    • db.sqlite3
    • Directoryfiles/

      • document.pdf
      • image.png
• Directorywork-project/

  • Directory.eidos/

    • db.sqlite3
    • Directoryfiles/

      • report.xlsx
• Directorypersonal-notes/

  • Directory.eidos/

    • db.sqlite3
    • Directoryfiles/

      • photo.jpg

The key is simplicity: each space has its own database, with no complex permissions or shared mechanisms. Clean separation when you need it, everything together when you don’t.
