Constellation: Mind Atlas

Constellation turns a folder of Markdown notes into a spatial "atlas" you can explore on iPhone and iPad.

Select any local folder of .md files (from Files / iCloud Drive or on-device storage). Constellation parses structure and links (including [[wikilinks]]), then builds a navigable 3D constellation where ideas become places: clusters form naturally, connections become visible, and isolated notes stop hiding in plain sight.

Constellation is not a note editor. It's a way to understand what you already have — faster than scrolling a list, and calmer than wrestling a web of tabs.

What it understands
• Plain Markdown files and folders
• Wikilinks ([[like this]]) and regular links
• Backlinks and "neighbors" of a note
• Tags (#tag) and (when present) frontmatter metadata
• File timestamps for "recent notes" views

What you can do with it
• See clusters and themes at a glance (by folder and tag)
• Follow paths between notes and spot the "bridge" notes that connect topics
• Surface orphans and dead ends, then decide what to link next
• Start from any note and explore outward, one connection at a time
• Keep your context: you're moving through the space, not hopping between screens

Filters & lenses to cut noise
• Filter by folder or tag
• Show only high-degree hubs (or only low-degree, overlooked notes)
• Highlight orphans
• Focus on recent work
• Reduce density for large vaults so the scene stays readable

Designed for iPhone and iPad
• Calm, cinematic 3D rendering with depth cues and subtle atmosphere
• Tap a star to open its note; drag to orbit and pinch to zoom
• Light and dark appearance, following your system setting
• Adjustable density and progressive loading for medium-to-large vaults

A clean reading experience
• Open any note in a panel with crisp typography: beside the graph on iPad, as a sheet on iPhone
• See outgoing links and tags alongside the content
• Follow links from note to note without losing your place in the constellation

Fast setup, no accounts
• Point Constellation at a folder, index, and explore
• Rebuild the index whenever your vault changes
• Local caching for quicker reloads

Made for people who live in Markdown
Writers, researchers, developers, and anyone with a "second brain" full of links: Constellation helps you spot what's connected, what's missing, and what's worth revisiting.

Offline-first and private by default
Your files stay on-device. Constellation doesn't upload your vault, doesn't require an account, and doesn't modify your files — it simply indexes and visualizes them locally.

Compatibility: works with Markdown vault folders from apps such as Obsidian and Logseq. Not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
