Built with Rust + Tauri 2.0 + SvelteKit. Full-text search powered by Tantivy. Graph view, AI writing tools (bring your own key), Obsidian import, version history.

    Can trillium store all files in markdown/plaintext?

    Content is stored in a SQLite db (with options to export to markdown & al.), Trilium is open source, so there’s no lock-in and you get the best of both worlds.

    How is the theming by trillium? I use a light tan interface because it is much easier on my eyes, personally than high contrast white or eye-straining dark themes.

    You can totally reimplement the whole UI if that’s your thing, everything (or close-enough) is a note in Trilium, including themes and other JS/CSS notes that will override or extend parts of the application, like add-ons would elsewhere.
