SiYuan is a privacy-first, local-first note-taking and personal knowledge management application built around block-level editing, bidirectional links, and Markdown. It supports self-hosted deployment via Docker, end-to-end encrypted sync through S3/WebDAV, and AI agent collaboration including MCP integration.

Use cases

  • take notes with block-level editing and backlinks
  • build a personal knowledge base with a knowledge graph
  • self-host a private note-taking app with Docker
  • sync notes across devices with end-to-end encryption
  • use flashcards and spaced repetition for studying
  • connect AI agents to my notes via MCP
  • manage large documents with Markdown and WYSIWYG editing

When to choose

  • you want a privacy-first, local-first alternative to Notion or Obsidian
  • you need block-level editing with bidirectional links and backlinks
  • you want to self-host your notes and sync via your own S3/WebDAV storage
  • you want built-in flashcards, databases, and AI assistance in one workspace

When to avoid

  • you need real-time collaborative editing like Google Docs
  • you require a fully free official cloud sync service
  • you only need a plain lightweight Markdown text editor
