Treedome is a local-first, encrypted, note taking application with tree-like structures, all written and saved in your computer
Currently you can only try it by building it yourself, instruction here. https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/src/branch/master/docs/building.md But .deb and nixpkgs update is planned to follow suit though! You can also try an outdated one in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/treedome-bin
Tell me what you think about it!
First party nixos support
👏👏👏
Keep it up guys, you’re amazing
How’s the search function? That’s the one (not unimportant +___+) thing that really sucks with Joplin and would make me consider alternatives.
Hi, I maintain the AUR package. Didn’t know the repo got moved to codeberg! If you could let me know when the deb is released that would be great, I’ll be able to update it then :)
Thanks for maintaining the AUR package :) Guess this could be ticked as resolved now ? https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/issues/67
How does this differ from Obsidian?
AFAIK, obisidian is:
- Not open source, treedome is open source.
- Uses a centralized server to sync your notes, treedome instead uses a single local file which you can sync, move around, however you want.
- Uses graph, treedome is working with trees and tagging instead.
- Uses plugins to add more feature to the notes, treedome doesn’t plan to do this. We at least want a complete experience out of the box, with notes files that’s fairly stable within a major version. I have to make it stable since the start because I’m already using it for work and personal.
With everything stored in a single file, does that mean you need to close Treedome on ComputerA before it can by synced to ComputerB?
If computerA makes an edit in one note while computer B makes an edit in another note, does that create a sync conflict? (Assuming syncing with Nextcloud, syncThing or similar)?
Yes, there will be conflict if you use it in two different computer, and those two different computer have different changes at the same time, and then sync it. For now to avoid any sync error:
- use it one computer at a time
- always sync it whenever you’ve made change in it
That’s actually a big negative compared to Obsidian. It’s just a bunch of markdown files in a folder, so you can sync them using e.g. git and manage conflicts that way
True, but for me the non encrypted (they say its encrypted but i dont really trust it) and proprietary is a big turn off for me. I dont want my notes, which are a definite extension of my mind, to be owned/used/stored by someone else that have “profit first” in mind.
