Athens was an open-source desktop and web application for collaborative knowledge management built on a graph database, similar to Roam Research. It allowed teams to capture, link, and synthesize knowledge as an interconnected graph of notes.
Use cases
- take linked notes in a knowledge graph
- build a personal memex of interconnected ideas
- collaboratively map team knowledge
- replace Roam Research with an open-source outliner
- organize research notes with bidirectional links
When to choose
- you already use Athens and want to understand its features
- you want to fork or study an open-source Roam-like tool
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, actively developed note-taking app
- you are starting a new knowledge base today
- you need official support or data migration guarantees
