Alternative to Notion
Trilium is a personal note-taking app specialized in hierarchical note management and knowledge base construction. It organizes complex notes with rich text, code blocks, math equations, and diagrams in a systematic tree structure.
- Hierarchical tree structure with unlimited nesting for logical note organization
- Rich text editor with WYSIWYG, code blocks, LaTeX math, and Mermaid diagrams
- Cloning for placing a single note in multiple tree locations as aliases
- Relation maps for visual representation of links between notes
- Sync with bidirectional synchronization between self-hosted server and desktop app
- Scripting via JavaScript API for custom note operations and functionality
Built on Node.js with CKEditor, Trilium offers both desktop and web applications. It serves as an Evernote alternative ideal for technical users managing complex knowledge in structured hierarchies.
