DISCOVERED ON EARLYCOVEWhat is SiYuan?
SiYuan is a personal knowledge application built around blocks, backlinks and Markdown-compatible editing. Its local-first approach makes it relevant to people who want a knowledge workspace they can manage closely, while database features add structure when ordinary notes are insufficient. Try linking a small research collection and using block references in a second project. That exercise will reveal whether the additional structure supports your thinking or adds friction.
Made for
