Everything you need to build your knowledge base

Powerful tools that work together seamlessly, so you can focus on what matters — your ideas.

Markdown Editor

A powerful editor with live preview, syntax highlighting, and auto-save. Write naturally in Markdown and see your formatting come alive instantly.

Wiki Links & Backlinks

Connect your ideas with [[wiki links]]. See every note that references the current one. Rename a note and watch every link update automatically.

Knowledge Graph

Visualize how your notes connect with an interactive, force-directed graph. Discover hidden relationships and navigate your knowledge visually.

AI Chat & Edit Mode

Ask questions about your notes and get answers grounded in your vault. Switch to edit mode to let AI modify or create notes with a diff preview before applying.

Vault Sharing

Share vaults with your team. Invite collaborators by email with Owner, Editor, or Viewer roles. Real-time collaboration with permission-gated controls.

Real-Time Sync

Your notes sync instantly across all your devices. Every change is persisted in real time. No manual saving, no sync conflicts, ever.

See it in action

Real screenshots from the app. No mockups, no placeholders.

Markdown Editor

Write with power and clarity

Full CodeMirror 6 editor with syntax highlighting, inline preview decorations, and auto-save. Headings, bold, italic, code blocks, task lists, and tags all render inline. Toggle between edit and preview mode per tab.

Preview Mode

Beautiful rendered markdown

Notes open in read-only preview by default with rendered markdown, clickable wiki links, and styled code blocks. Double-click or press Ctrl+E to switch to edit mode. Each tab remembers its own mode.

Knowledge Graph

See how your ideas connect

Interactive force-directed graph showing all notes and their wiki link connections. Click any node to open that note. The more connected a note, the larger it appears. Your active note glows in purple.

AI Chat

Ask your notes anything

Chat with Claude about your vault. Get answers grounded in your own notes with wiki link citations you can click. Switch to edit mode to let AI modify notes with a diff preview before applying changes.

Vault Sharing

Collaborate with your team

Invite collaborators by email with Owner, Editor, or Viewer roles. Editors get full CRUD access; viewers see everything read-only. Shared vaults appear in a dedicated section with role badges throughout the UI.
