About This App

Trilium Notes is an open-source, locally-hosted note-taking and knowledge-management application written in JavaScript and available across Linux, Windows, and macOS. It supports arbitrarily deep hierarchical note organization, rich WYSIWYG editing with tables and images, full-text search, markdown autoformat, source-code editing with syntax highlighting, strong per-note encryption, relation maps for visualizing connections between notes, and scripting for advanced workflows. Trilium scales well to large note collections (100,000+ notes), offers web-clipper support, and can be deployed both as a desktop application and as a self-hosted web server for synchronization across devices. It is particularly popular with developers, researchers, and power users managing complex personal knowledge bases.

Trilium Notes is available for macOS but is explicitly described by the vendor as unsupported on that platform. The app is community-maintained open-source software — the original developer transferred it to the TriliumNext organization on GitHub, where development continues — but macOS support remains unofficial and inconsistent. There is no confirmed native Apple Silicon build, and the unsupported status means you cannot reliably depend on this app working on future macOS releases, including macOS 28 (late 2027) when Rosetta 2 is removed. If you are already invested in Trilium's data format and workflows, consider migrating to a fully-supported and actively-maintained note app with native Apple Silicon builds, such as Obsidian (for individual knowledge bases with markdown and backlinking), Apple Notes (for seamless integration with iCloud and other Apple apps), or LogSeq (for open-source outlining and knowledge graphs). Alternatively, you could run Trilium's web server on a Linux machine or cloud host and access it via a browser on your Mac — this bypasses the native-build problem entirely and is actually the recommended deployment model. Check the TriliumNext GitHub repository for the current status of macOS support before committing further to the desktop edition.
