# Trilium Notes

> Trilium Notes (community-maintained by TriliumNext; repo now TriliumNext/Trilium, the old TriliumNext/Notes repo is archived) is an AGPL-3.0 desktop app and server (v0.106.0, Sep 2026) for Windows, macOS and Linux. Notes sync through your own Trilium server (Docker or tarball); mobile use is via the server's web UI or third-party apps. It claims to scale past 100,000 notes and imports from Evernote. No official paid service; hardware needs are not documented.

## What it replaces
- Evernote: Notes, Sync across devices (partial). Evernote import and sync via your own server; no official native mobile app.
- Notion: Notes, Wikis and docs (partial). Personal knowledge base and note sharing; not a real-time team workspace.
- Confluence: Notes and linked knowledge (partial). Hierarchical personal notes cover individual knowledge capture; it does not replace Confluence's multiuser spaces, collaboration or permission system.
