Capabilities

See your notes from a new dimension

4D Rotation

Rotate your graph across all six 4D planes (XY, XZ, XW, YZ, YW, ZW). Reveal hidden clusters that flat graphs can't show.

Force-Directed Layout

Notes self-organize in 4D space. Connected ideas attract, unrelated ones repel -- the topology emerges naturally.

Color Rules

Color nodes by folder, tag, or filename pattern. See your vault's structure at a glance with custom coloring rules.

Hyperplane Slicing

Slice through the 4th dimension to isolate cross-sections of your graph. Find connections invisible in 3D.

Smart Labels

Depth-aware labels that prioritize important, well-connected notes. Hover to highlight neighborhoods.

Graph Insights

Discover disconnected islands, critical bridge links, tight triads, and topic neighborhoods. Get connection suggestions based on shared context.
