Cross-platform hierarchical note-taking app for building large personal knowledge bases
Trilium Notes is an open-source, cross-platform hierarchical note-taking application focused on building large personal knowledge bases. Notes sit in a tree of any depth, and a single note can appear in several places through cloning.
A rich WYSIWYG editor handles tables, images and math, and notes can also hold source code with syntax highlighting. Per-note encryption, note versioning and scripting make it a fit for people who keep detailed, long-lived notes.
