SiYuan vs Claromentis: at a glance
What is SiYuan?
SiYuan's 3.7.0 turns the note-taker into a scriptable, extensible platform
SiYuan is converging its long 3.7.0 dev cycle toward release. The cumulative changelog — repeated across many dev builds — centers on a kernel plugin system, a new command-line interface, configurable secrets and variables, a reworked settings UI, and a large batch of database, editor, and mobile refinements. A breaking change now requires an explicit 'serve' subcommand to run the kernel.
What is Claromentis?
Claromentis's feed is secure-AI and compliance thought-leadership, not a release log.
Claromentis's crawled feed is its blog — vertical content on secure and compliant AI (healthcare HIPAA/NHS, law firms, financial services), franchise-management governance, and digital-workplace consolidation. The product surfaces only as references (the Claromentis FMS, AI intranet search); there are no shipped-feature entries.

SiYuan's 3.7.0 turns the note-taker into a scriptable, extensible platform
◆ Current state
SiYuan is converging its long 3.7.0 dev cycle toward release. The cumulative changelog — repeated across many dev builds — centers on a kernel plugin system, a new command-line interface, configurable secrets and variables, a reworked settings UI, and a large batch of database, editor, and mobile refinements. A breaking change now requires an explicit 'serve' subcommand to run the kernel.
◆ Where it's heading
The headline direction is extensibility and automation: a plugin-capable kernel, CLI access, and secrets/variables move SiYuan from a self-contained app toward something developers can script and integrate. The breaking kernel API changes and the new serve subcommand are the cost of that platform shift. Underneath, steady editor/database hardening and broad localization continue.
◆ Prediction
Expect 3.7.0 to ship from the beta line with the plugin system and CLI as its banner features, followed by an ecosystem period of plugins and integrations building on the new kernel APIs. The repeated dev-build entries don't add direction beyond this.

5.0COLLAB
Claromentis's feed is secure-AI and compliance thought-leadership, not a release log.
◆ Current state
Claromentis's crawled feed is its blog — vertical content on secure and compliant AI (healthcare HIPAA/NHS, law firms, financial services), franchise-management governance, and digital-workplace consolidation. The product surfaces only as references (the Claromentis FMS, AI intranet search); there are no shipped-feature entries.
◆ Where it's heading
The consistent angle is "secure, audit-ready AI for regulated industries" plus franchise and multi-site consolidation — Claromentis positioning its intranet and FMS as the governed alternative to ungoverned AI tools. This is content cadence, not a product roadmap.
◆ Prediction
Expect more regulated-industry secure-AI and franchise-governance content; actual feature signal requires Claromentis's product release notes.
