Org-roam GitHub Release MELPA License GPL 3

Org-roam Logo

Org-roam is a plain-text knowledge management system. It brings some of Roam's more powerful features into the Org-mode ecosystem.

Org-roam borrows principles from the Zettelkasten method, providing a solution for non-hierarchical note-taking. It should also work as a plug-and-play solution for anyone already using Org-mode for their personal wiki.

  • Private and Secure: Edit your personal wiki completely offline, entirely in your control. Encrypt your notes with GPG. Take lasting notes in plain-text.
  • Networked Thought: Connect notes and thoughts together with ease using backlinks. Discover surprising and previously unseen connections in your notes with the built-in graph visualization.
  • Extensible and Powerful: Leverage Emacs' fantastic text-editing interface, and the mature Emacs and Org-mode ecosystem of packages.
  • Free and Open Source: Org-roam is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later.

Installation

You can install org-roam using package.el:

M-x package-install RET org-roam RET

Here's a sample configuration with use-package:

(use-package org-roam
      :ensure t
      :hook
      (after-init . org-roam-mode)
      :custom
      (org-roam-directory (file-truename "/path/to/org-files/"))
      :bind (:map org-roam-mode-map
              (("C-c n l" . org-roam)
               ("C-c n f" . org-roam-find-file)
               ("C-c n g" . org-roam-graph))
              :map org-mode-map
              (("C-c n i" . org-roam-insert))
              (("C-c n I" . org-roam-insert-immediate))))

The file-truename function is only necessary when you use symbolic links inside org-roam-directory: Org-roam does not resolve symbolic links.

Org-roam requires sqlite to function. Org-roam optionally uses Graphviz for graph-related functionality. It is recommended to install PCRE-enabled ripgrep for better performance and extended functionality.
