Knowledge Graph.

See how your ideas connect.

Your knowledge isn't linear — it's a web of interconnected ideas. The Knowledge Graph visualizes your entire knowledge base as an interactive network, revealing connections you might never have noticed.

How connections form

AI automatically creates connections based on:

01Semantic similarityCaptures that discuss similar concepts are linked
02Shared tagsContent with the same tags forms clusters
03Project groupingItems in the same project are connected
04Explicit links@mentions create direct connections
05Time proximityCaptures made around the same time may relate
06Entity extractionPeople, places, and things create connection points

Navigation controls

Pan & dragClick and drag to move around the graph. Drag nodes to rearrange.
ZoomScroll to zoom in/out. Double-click a node to focus and zoom.
Click to previewClick any node to see a preview of the capture content.
Expand connectionsDouble-click to show all connections for that node.

Filtering the graph

Focus on what matters by filtering the visualization:

By projectBy tagBy date rangeBy categoryBy content typeBy connection strength

View modes

FORCE-DIRECTEDNodes naturally cluster by connection strength. Related items pull together, unrelated items drift apart.
HIERARCHICALOrganized by projects at the top, with captures and tasks branching below. Great for seeing project structure.
RADIALCenter on any node and see all connections radiating outward. Perfect for exploring specific topics.
TIMELINENodes positioned by creation date along a timeline. See how your thinking evolved over time.

Use cases

Research exploration: Find unexpected connections between papers and notesPresentation prep: Discover all related content before a big meetingProject review: Visualize everything captured for a specific initiativeKnowledge audit: Identify orphan nodes that need better connectionsCreative brainstorming: Let visual clusters spark new ideas
DISCOVERY MODE

Try filtering to a single project, then gradually expanding the connection depth. You’ll often find related captures from other projects you’d forgotten about.
