Trilium adds spreadsheets and OCR while deliberately ripping out its LLM integration

notesknowledge-baseprivacyocranti-aisecurity
◆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.

    0.102.0: LLM integration removed

    ⚡ SPARK
