Trilium Notes

COLLAB
Velocity6.3

Open-source hierarchical note-taking application for building knowledge bases.

Trilium 0.107 turns a text note into blocks you can embed, quote and link

self-hostednote-takingblock-editorai-agentsknowledge-base
◆Current state
Trilium 0.107 rebuilds the text editor around blocks: notes can embed other notes and edit them in place, quote live excerpts that sync back to the source, and link to a single paragraph. Tables gain merged cells and sorting, the AI chat now asks before any tool reads or changes a note, and a ChatGPT Codex subscription can replace an API key. The sync protocol moves from 39 to 41, so server and every client must update together.
◆Where it's heading
After 0.105 made backups restorable and 0.106 rebuilt the kanban board, Trilium is now reworking its core unit, the text note, toward a block-based model with cross-note reuse. The AI layer is being made safe for a real database through approval prompts and cheaper through subscriptions rather than per-token keys.
◆Prediction
Expect 0.107.x patches fixing block-editor and sync regressions, and the web clipper 1.2 release that was waiting on 0.107.

    0.107 turns text notes into editable blocks and gates AI tool calls

    ⚡ SPARK

    The largest change to Trilium's core editor in this window: a text note becomes a composition of blocks that can be embedded, quoted and referenced across notes. It follows the board and backup work by going after the note itself.

    0.106.1 patches a pre-auth Node.js flaw in server images

    Updates Node.js in the Docker images for a Brotli decoder out-of-bounds write that any client could trigger before authentication, and drops the compromised eMudhra certificate authorities. Internet-facing servers should update now.

    0.106.0 rebuilds the kanban board for project tracking

    The kanban board is rebuilt for real projects: column icons, limits, collapsing and archiving, an inbox column, card templates, regrouping, sorting and multi-select. Trilium also arrives on Flathub.

    Backups become restorable and the database becomes manageable

    ⚡ SPARK

    After a year of expanding what notes can contain, this release addresses what happens to them. Backups become restorable, the database gains cleanup, compaction, integrity repair and a visual space breakdown, and MCP moves behind authentication while gaining optional network access. The breaking changes are listed before the features, which is the house style.

    LLM providers become dynamic; OneNote import hardened

    The LLM layer stops depending on a hardcoded model list — models are retrieved from the provider and can be customised, DeepSeek is supported, and Ollama, LM Studio and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint become first-class, which matters for an app whose users self-host on principle. The OneNote importer is hardened for multi-hour runs against Graph throttling, 504s and token expiry.
