# User Guide
Trilium is an open-source solution for note-taking and organizing a personal knowledge base. Use it locally on your desktop, or sync it with your self-hosted server to keep your notes everywhere you go.
For a quick overview of the application, visit our website at [triliumnotes.org](https://triliumnotes.org/).

## Quick Start
### Choose the setup
**Local only desktop/laptop** - Allows a single instance on a desktop and will save the notes locally on that desktop.

2. <a class="reference-link" href="User%20Guide/Installation%20%26%20Setup/Mobile%20Frontend.md">Mobile Frontend</a> (optional)
3. <a class="reference-link" href="User%20Guide/Installation%20%26%20Setup/Server%20Installation/Third-party%20cloud%20hosting.md">Third-party cloud hosting</a>
**Combination of server and desktop/laptop** - Install the application on both a server, for web access and data synchronization, and desktop instance(s). This allows all the data to be stored on the server and either accessed from the web browser, or the desktop application. The desktop application will sync and store the data locally so that it can be used when offline.
