Trilium
Trilium is a hierarchical personal knowledge base and digital garden tool designed to organize information into a tree of linked nodes. It functions as a JavaScript programmable wiki and a self-hosted note server, allowing users to maintain a private database of documents synchronized across multiple devices.
The platform distinguishes itself through an embedded scripting engine for automating tasks and a REST API that exposes internal data and actions to external tools. Users can further extend the system by modifying the user interface layout and styling through a custom theme engine.
The system supports a variety of content types, including rich text, code notes with syntax highlighting, geographical maps, and visual diagrams. Organization is managed through hierarchical note graphs, knowledge graph visualizations, and web clipping tools for archiving internet content. Security and data integrity are handled via note encryption, version-controlled history, and secure identity provider authentication.
