The Best (and the rest) of Personal Knowledge Management Software [2022] [Updated 2023]
I spend a ridiculous amount of time searching for a PKM tool that fits my organizational needs. Everything falls short. I want to help others on their own quests by compiling this list. Tags on AlternativeTo are helpful, but I wanted a place to keep a curated list with my own findings that others can contribute to.
Where I can, I have tried to answer the following important questions for each app:
- Is it open source?
- Is it offline-capable?
- Can blocks/notes exist in multiple locations?
As well as providing rough overall ratings (Scale of 1 to 5) for the following metrics:
- Organization: How does the app allow you to structure information? Is it flexible? Is it logical?
- User experience (UX): Is it easy to use? Is the interface designed in a way that is not just logical, but natural for the everyday user?
- Privacy: To the best of my (limited) knowledge, does this tool protect your personal data AND is it designed so that you can ensure the safety of your data yourself rather than relying on the app developers (trust, but verify).
Please comment with additions/suggestions, collaboration makes things better.

Lofty concept, but dismal instructions. Apparently, you either know how to use it or you don't. There is absolutely zero documentation available to get you started. Just 3 lines:
"Download tiddlyroam.html Download TiddlyDesktop Open tiddlyroam.html in TiddlyDesktop:
The mystery which remains absolutely unexplained is HOW!? How do I "open tiddlyroam.html in TiddlyDesktop"? Especially on Linux.
The 'community' link just leads to JK's GitHub page with the same "instructions" repeated there. There is no other documentation available.
Why do you use Linux if you can't even open Tiddlyroam?
"Add wiki file" - It's the first thing in the toolbar.
Tiddlywiki can give you a good walk through. It's very similar
Complicated, I can’t actually see what it’s for. I prefer easier programs like Vym or Minder for creating mindmaps in a simple way.
Simple and nice, and let you own the data. Almost perfect for non-hierarchical and non-linear note taking.
Is it possible to use markdown files for wiki pages?
