Privacy-first open-source personal knowledge management system.

SiYuan v3.8.2 brings mobile marketplace, editor customization, and remote kernel support

personal-knowledge-managementopen-sourcemobileplugin-apilocal-first
Current state
SiYuan is in an active v3.8.2 beta cycle, delivering mobile marketplace access, customizable editor toolbar, configurable multiple fonts, large list rendering virtualization, independent Agent sessions, and expanded plugin APIs. Alpha builds introduce remote kernel connectivity.
Where it's heading
Sustained incremental progress with meaningful surface area: mobile parity is closing, plugin extensibility is deepening, and remote kernel support hints at future distributed or team use cases.
Prediction
Plugin API maturation will attract ecosystem development comparable to Obsidian's; remote kernel support, still alpha, could eventually enable shared workspaces — a significant gap in the local-first PKM market.
