// file vault
Open any folder of Markdown files as a vault. Wikilinks, backlinks, tags, callouts, image embeds, and a live knowledge graph - all built in. Works alongside Obsidian on the same vault.
Every link between your notes is visualized in a force-directed graph. Hover to explore, click to navigate, drag to rearrange. Pop it out into a floating window with Tour Mode to cycle through nodes automatically.

// rendering engine
Write math equations, create diagrams, embed styled HTML - and see it all render live in the preview. What you see is exactly what exports.
KaTeX renders math natively. Mermaid renders diagrams to SVG. Inline HTML and CSS render exactly as written. All in a sandboxed macOS app with nothing to install.

Pop the graph into a floating window for a panoramic view of your entire vault. Nodes scale by connection count, edges light up on hover, and the whole thing orbits gently in a slow, satisfying drift.
