Trilium Notes vs Miro
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Trilium Notes and Miro — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Trilium Notes vs Miro: at a glance
What is Trilium Notes?
Trilium adds spreadsheets and OCR while deliberately ripping out its LLM integration
Trilium Notes is on a steady minor cadence under its post-handover maintainership. The current arc is striking for cutting against the grain: 0.103 introduces new note types (spreadsheet) and OCR, while 0.102 removed the built-in LLM integration outright and shipped urgent security fixes.
What is Miro?
Miro pushes into AI prototyping and wires the canvas to coding agents via MCP
Miro's weekly cadence is dominated by its Prototypes add-on. The newest moves connect Miro to coding agents over MCP and turn screenshots or Figma frames into multi-screen flows, on top of a steady stream of prototyping-library polish (styled buttons, divider lines, 600 new diagram shapes, markdown import).
Trilium Notes vs Miro: editorial side-by-side
Trilium Notes
3.8COLLAB
Trilium adds spreadsheets and OCR while deliberately ripping out its LLM integration
◆ Current state
Trilium Notes is on a steady minor cadence under its post-handover maintainership. The current arc is striking for cutting against the grain: 0.103 introduces new note types (spreadsheet) and OCR, while 0.102 removed the built-in LLM integration outright and shipped urgent security fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is a focused, locally-grounded knowledge tool — adding structured data (spreadsheets) and document capture (OCR) while shedding hard-to-maintain AI features. Trilium is optimizing for a maintainable, privacy-respecting core rather than chasing AI parity.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued capability depth in note types and capture (spreadsheet, OCR) with AI staying out of core, and security responsiveness remaining a priority.
Miro
7.5COLLAB
Miro pushes into AI prototyping and wires the canvas to coding agents via MCP
◆ Current state
Miro's weekly cadence is dominated by its Prototypes add-on. The newest moves connect Miro to coding agents over MCP and turn screenshots or Figma frames into multi-screen flows, on top of a steady stream of prototyping-library polish (styled buttons, divider lines, 600 new diagram shapes, markdown import).
◆ Where it's heading
Miro is repositioning the canvas as an AI-native prototyping surface that sits between idea and code — ingesting existing UI, generating flows, and now exchanging work with coding agents. The collaboration whiteboard is becoming a build-the-right-thing layer ahead of design and engineering.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper agent/MCP integration and more AI generation inside the Prototypes add-on, pushing Miro further into the design-to-code handoff.
