Trilium Notes

This works for me because I like tools that allow you to modify them from within their own architecture. This is a pure web app with typescript on both the front and back sides, APIs for both and the ability to add code notes with scripts. For example, the calendar journal system and task management functionality are implemented that way. You can also add css 'notes' to style it all. Text Notes themselves are in html and you can simply set notes to 'published' and have a read only version of whatever subset you want as an automated wiki/blog style website.

Trilium's biggest problem is that its inventor stopped working on it and it has taken some time to fork it then re-integrate the original code and documentation, so its not 'done' yet. Mobile support is in progress and there is no multi user support yet. It is very focused on creating a personal knowledge base and sharing parts as needed, but not collaboration.

Still, I have looked for something better that does what Trilium can do with more users and fewer bugs, and I'm still using Trilium (triliumnext).

This is an incredible, very versatile, and fairly polished application especially considering it's totally free. Until earlier this year (2024) the developer was constantly adding new features and was very responsive about fixing bugs, etc.

Even without new features being added, this is still a very solid note-taking platform. And from the sounds of it the developer will still be fixing bugs and updating libraries to keep the application functional, as the developer themselves uses it. There just won't be any more major new features added. As the developer said, this could be looked at as a benefit: "If you're a glass-half-full type of person, this should make Trilium more stable than it used to be."

This should remain an excellent option for years to come, particularly if looking for something that can be run on a private server or locally, supports multiple platforms, is accessible via web browser, has web page snapshot extensions for most browsers, is robust and offers very powerful additional features via scripting and plugins.

On Linux I was searching with what I could replace OneNote which I'm using in my work. I was searching for similar capabilities notebook. Tried a lot of them: Joplin, Chreetree, Zimm, Anydo (and many more). This one so far the best. Thought I'm looking for iOS app, because in these mobile pone days notebook only in computer is limiting Ah, and default for is ugly (IMHO) and this is the first thing I changed when installed :D glad it is easy to do via settings :)

Not that impressed on first try. First note brought in extra things I didn't want. I removed them to find the note I inserted disappeared w/no way to undo it. CherryTree and Obsidian have more appeal. They brought in a clipping and automatically had usable website links.. Same info clip doesn't bring links into Trillium.

Much like Obsidian, Trilium is essentially a database note taking app, with some seriously impressive plugins.

Yes in Trilium Notes, you can take notes as other alternatives, but not quite fit in the same categories as other note taking alternatives. Trilium Notes fit more in the "Personal Knowledeg Base"

Trilium Notes is a hierarchical and wiki style notes, where you have relational map, link between nodes, attributes, graph render (like pay chart), tracker, notes by date like a journal, calendar, todo list, task manager, embedded pdf viewer, code syntax highlighting, you can include pictures, photo album, note versioning, note encryption, scripting, Web clipper, etc

Yes it have a lot of features, so not try to compare with other note applications like turtl, joplin, google keep, some alternative will be notion, evernote, cherrytree, remnote, don't know other alternatives... you can almost write and management everything in Trilium. Keen in mind at the moment of this review 0.43.3, is the last release (Release today btw) and is under heavy development.

Doesn't have a mobile app, but it seems you can self-hosted and use the web version in the mobile app. I not tried it myself.

You need to use Trilium and read the documentation to know how to use it. Is not for just "taking notes"
