Detailed Introduction
Trilium Notes is a powerful, cross-platform note-taking application that organizes notes in a deeply hierarchical tree structure. It supports rich text editing (WYSIWYG) with tables, images, math formulas, and Markdown autoformat. Notes can be cloned into multiple locations, linked with attributes, and versioned. It offers advanced features like scripting, REST API, relation maps, mind maps, geolocation maps, and canvas-based sketching. Trilium also provides built-in synchronization via a self-hosted server, OpenID/TOTP authentication, note encryption, and a mobile-optimized frontend. The project is community-maintained (TriliumNext) and supports over 100,000 notes with excellent performance.
