Trilium – An Awesome Note-taking App

I’ve been a long-time user of Wikid­Pad for per­sonal note-tak­ing. Un­for­tu­nately, de­vel­op­ment has slowed down over time and it was time for me to look for some al­ter­na­tive. And wow, did I find an al­ter­na­tive, that re­ally ticks most (all) of my boxes: meet Tril­ium, the most fea­ture-packed out­liner / hi­er­ar­chi­cal note tak­ing app I’ve ever en­coun­tered.

Take a look at the screen­shot tour to get a feel­ing of what’s pos­si­ble with Tril­ium.

The fea­tures I adore most about it:

• Can act stand­alone and in a client/server model
• Server pro­vides a browser-based in­ter­face to the in­stance
• Client-ap­pli­ca­tion can work of­fline and then sync back changes to the cen­tral server in­stance
• It’s in­cred­i­ble script­able using JavaScript
• mer­maid.js sup­port for quickly cre­at­ing di­a­grams
• Link­ing, Cross-Link­ing, Cloning of notes in var­i­ous places
• Jour­nal func­tions

There are also a ton of fea­tures that I don’t use per­son­ally, e.g. en­crypted notes that are only avail­able once you enter your de­cryp­tion pass­word.

I per­son­ally rec­om­mend that you give it a look and try very much!
