A side-by-side editorial comparison of SiYuan and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
SiYuan vs Teable: at a glance
What is SiYuan?
SiYuan's v3.7.0 cycle adds a kernel plugin system, CLI, and secrets config to the local-first notebook
SiYuan is deep in its v3.7.0 pre-release cycle, and the feed is a long run of beta, dev, and rc builds that all carry the same changelog. The headline additions are a kernel plugin system, a command-line interface, configurable secrets and variables, a rebuilt settings UI, and a new default theme and icon, alongside a breaking change requiring an explicit serve subcommand.
What is Teable?
Teable is turning its no-code base into an AI app-builder with external connectors and agent skills
Teable, an Airtable-style no-code database, is shipping releases almost daily with feature gravity squarely in its AI layer: an AI Builder that connects external HTTP systems, imports from Airtable via an /airtable skill, supports custom agent skills, and accepts mid-run guidance. Around it, the App Builder is maturing (expanded preview, version management, real-time deploy progress) and core reliability work continues on recovery, formulas, and bulk operations.

SiYuan's v3.7.0 cycle adds a kernel plugin system, CLI, and secrets config to the local-first notebook
◆ Current state
SiYuan is deep in its v3.7.0 pre-release cycle, and the feed is a long run of beta, dev, and rc builds that all carry the same changelog. The headline additions are a kernel plugin system, a command-line interface, configurable secrets and variables, a rebuilt settings UI, and a new default theme and icon, alongside a breaking change requiring an explicit serve subcommand.
◆ Where it's heading
v3.7.0 is the most extensibility-focused release in a while: a plugin system and CLI turn the kernel from a fixed app into something scriptable and extendable, while secrets/variables and Safe Mode point at more serious self-hosted and automation use. The breaking serve subcommand signals the team is willing to tidy the kernel's command surface to support this. Otherwise the release is dense with the usual editor and sync reliability fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect v3.7.0 to ship from rc to stable soon given the cadence, after which plugin-system documentation and third-party kernel plugins are the natural next thread.

Teable is turning its no-code base into an AI app-builder with external connectors and agent skills
◆ Current state
Teable, an Airtable-style no-code database, is shipping releases almost daily with feature gravity squarely in its AI layer: an AI Builder that connects external HTTP systems, imports from Airtable via an /airtable skill, supports custom agent skills, and accepts mid-run guidance. Around it, the App Builder is maturing (expanded preview, version management, real-time deploy progress) and core reliability work continues on recovery, formulas, and bulk operations.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is unmistakable: Teable is becoming an AI-native application platform on top of a spreadsheet-database, not just a better Airtable. Pulling in external systems and Airtable bases, plus user-definable agent skills, points at positioning as a migration target and an agentic app-building environment.
◆ Prediction
Expect more connectors and agent-skill capabilities, deeper App Builder deployment tooling, and continued Airtable-import polish to court migrators. The daily release cadence will likely persist.
