Teable vs Trilium Notes
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Teable and Trilium Notes — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Teable vs Trilium Notes: at a glance
What is Teable?
Teable's Structured Query v2 now reports across multi-hop relations, with a strict mode against SQL.
Teable ships near-daily. The October 27 release extends Structured Query v2 to same-project relational reporting across one-to-many, many-to-many and up to three-hop relations, with aggregates, grouping and permissions checked at every hop; new SQL-based query definitions now get warnings, with an optional strict mode that rejects them. The same release adds atomic record upsert on a unique field, a Table Operations console for admins, an Artifact Manager, and paginated base listing over MCP and CLI.
What is Trilium Notes?
The TriliumNext fork spent its early betas making the app trustworthy to install
Three beta releases from early 2025. The work is dominated by distribution and access concerns: signed Windows binaries obtained through a donated EV certificate, signed macOS builds, multi-factor authentication that required a database version bump, basic right-to-left content support, and repaired migration paths from the original Trilium. Nothing has been published to this feed since March 2025.

◆ Current state
Teable ships near-daily. The October 27 release extends Structured Query v2 to same-project relational reporting across one-to-many, many-to-many and up to three-hop relations, with aggregates, grouping and permissions checked at every hop; new SQL-based query definitions now get warnings, with an optional strict mode that rejects them. The same release adds atomic record upsert on a unique field, a Table Operations console for admins, an Artifact Manager, and paginated base listing over MCP and CLI.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the chat-first preview on October 21, each release has moved more of the product onto structured queries that agents can use safely, and away from raw SQL. Admin and integration tooling (upsert, complexity assessment, MCP pagination) is now arriving to support larger workspaces built this way.
◆ Prediction
Expect strict mode to tighten toward a default and the remaining query gaps, such as cross-project relations and sorting by to-many fields, to close next.

The TriliumNext fork spent its early betas making the app trustworthy to install
◆ Current state
Three beta releases from early 2025. The work is dominated by distribution and access concerns: signed Windows binaries obtained through a donated EV certificate, signed macOS builds, multi-factor authentication that required a database version bump, basic right-to-left content support, and repaired migration paths from the original Trilium. Nothing has been published to this feed since March 2025.
◆ Where it's heading
These are the problems a fork inherits rather than chooses. Before adding features, the project had to make installs pass platform trust checks, let users migrate off the predecessor without an intermediate upgrade, and add authentication a self-hosted note store is expected to have. It is groundwork, done in the open, with contributors credited by name.
◆ Prediction
There is not enough recent activity to predict the next release. The feed has been silent for over a year, so whether the beta line continued elsewhere is the open question.
