An unlocked build of SiYuan, a privacy-first block-based note-taking application, that removes the login requirement so users can use the sync feature without a paid account. It ships as desktop/mobile builds and a Docker image for self-hosting the kernel server.

Use cases

• use SiYuan notes sync without logging in
• self-host a note-taking server with Docker
• take markdown block-based notes privately
• sync notes across devices without a subscription
• deploy a personal knowledge base on my own server
• run SiYuan behind nginx with a reverse proxy

When to choose

• you already like SiYuan but want sync without an account or subscription
• you want to self-host your notes workspace in Docker
• you prefer a local-first, privacy-focused note app

When to avoid

• you want an officially supported product with vendor support and updates guaranteed
• you need mobile or desktop support for the Docker server variant (unsupported)
• licensing/ToS concerns around modified builds are unacceptable to you
