Trinote vs Idea Tiles

Trinote is a native, open-source iOS client for your self-hosted Trilium (TriliumNext) note server. Your notes stay on your server and your device — Trinote is a client only. Browse & organize Explore your full note tree with lazy loading, clones, and branches — the way Trilium models your workspace. Create, move, duplicate, and delete notes; keep favorites and recents at hand; optionally work with open-note tabs. Find anything Run full-text search on the server to jump to the right note fast. Offline, search titles in your cached notes. Use find-on-page once a note is open. Read & edit Open and edit text notes with a rich editor — formatting, lists, task lists, tables, callouts, code blocks, images, links, and math. Work with code, images, and files too. Also supported: canvas, Mermaid diagrams, mind maps, spreadsheets, geo maps, calendars, kanban boards, and presentations (availability can depend on your Trilium version). Attachments Add from Camera, Photos, or Files. Preview, download, rename, and share. Share & capture Save text, links, images, and files into Trinote via the iOS Share extension (Markdown becomes HTML). Manage public Trilium share links, or send notes to a nearby device over your local network. Stays useful offline Caches tree structure and note content so you can keep browsing and editing when the network drops. Changes sync when you’re back online. Full-text search and some live actions still need the server. Connect your way Sign in with your Trilium password (TOTP supported). Use multiple server profiles, and optional Cloudflare Access for protected setups. Appearance & security Choose light, dark, or system appearance, plus color themes and custom accents. Lock the app with a PIN and Face ID / Touch ID. Privacy Trinote does not host your notes. Your data lives on your Trilium server and your local device.

Turn one thought into a visual map of everything around it. Idea Tiles is a hexagonal brainstorming canvas for writers, designers, product thinkers, researchers, and anyone who works better with connected fragments than a blank page. Start with one tile, explore the ideas around it, and keep following the branches that matter. EXPLORE THE SPACE AROUND AN IDEA • Expand a tile into six related directions with Apple Intelligence on supported devices. • Merge two tiles into one thought that captures what they share. • Star important themes and filter a busy board down to what matters. • Undo, redo, pan, and zoom without breaking your flow. PRIVATE BY DESIGN On supported iPhone and iPad models, generation runs through Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Prompts, board context, and responses stay on your device. There is no silent cloud fallback, no account requirement, no advertising profile, and no analytics SDK in the native app. MAKE THE BOARD PORTABLE Export your work as PNG, JPG, SVG, or JSON through the standard share sheet. Send it with AirDrop or Messages, save it to Files, or keep the structured JSON for later editing. RETURN TO YOUR WORK Boards are saved locally across sessions. Template customization also uses the on-device model, and model readiness is checked again when the app returns to the foreground. ACCESSIBLE AND RESPONSIVE Idea Tiles includes VoiceOver labels, adjustable text, high-contrast options, reduced-motion support, keyboard shortcuts, and touch interactions designed for both iPhone and iPad. REQUIREMENTS • Generation requires iOS 26 or later, Apple Intelligence enabled, and eligible hardware. • Canvas editing, merge, star, filter, local sessions, and export remain available without generation. • When the system model is unavailable or still preparing, Idea Tiles explains why and checks again automatically. Idea Tiles is free, with no subscription and no in-app purchases.
