See the connections.

People, projects, research and decisions can live in a graph you return to, inspect and refine.

01 / Remember

Build with your AI tools.

The MCP server gives a compatible client tools to create, search and update persistent learning graphs.

02 / Understand

Explore what you know.

The local viewer lets you inspect nodes, follow relationships and navigate the structure behind your notes.
