What is CherryTree?
What Is CherryTree?
CherryTree is a free, open-source hierarchical note-taking application for Linux and Windows. It organizes notes in a tree structure with rich text formatting, code highlighting, images, tables, and links between nodes.
Key Features
Notes are organized in a tree hierarchy where each node can contain rich text, plain text, or code with syntax highlighting for over 100 languages. Nodes can be nested to any depth, creating an outline-style organization. Each node supports images, tables, embedded files, and hyperlinks to other nodes.
CherryTree stores data in a single SQLite or XML file, making backups and portability simple. It supports password protection with encryption, find and replace across all nodes, and import from various formats including HTML, Markdown, and plain text.
Who Uses CherryTree
Developers and researchers who need hierarchical organization for technical notes, code snippets, and documentation. It is popular in the Linux community as a local-first alternative to cloud-based note apps.
