Trilium Notes

Trilium Notes is a note-taking application that lets you organize information in a tree structure. Each note can contain text, images, code, diagrams, or other content types. Unlike basic note apps, Trilium allows one note to appear in multiple places in your tree without copying it, which is called cloning.

The app stores everything in a local database, making it fast even with thousands of notes. You can use a rich text editor for regular writing or a code editor for programming. It also includes features like note linking, full-text search, note encryption for privacy, and web clipping to save websites directly into your notes.

You can use Trilium offline on your computer or set up a sync server to access your notes from multiple devices and through a web browser.

Getting started with Trilium Notes is straightforward. Here are the basic steps:

• Download the desktop app for Windows, Linux, or Mac from the official website, then install and open it to see the demo notes that explain features.

• Create your first note by clicking the plus icon or using keyboard shortcuts. Give it a title and start writing in the editor.

• Organize notes into a tree structure by creating child notes under parent notes. Drag and drop notes to rearrange them as needed.

• Use the search bar at the top to find any note by title or content. The search works across all your notes instantly.

• Add tags and labels to notes for better organization and filtering. You can also create links between related notes.

• For advanced users, set up a sync server using Docker to access notes from any device through a web browser or sync multiple computers.
