Links and graph2 min readUpdated August 9, 2026

Use graph view

See your notes as a connected map, and turn the graph button on in settings.

Graph view draws your notes as dots and your note links as lines between them, so the structure of your library becomes something you can see.

Turning it on

The graph button is hidden until you enable it. Open Settings, go to the Notes tab and switch on Enable graph view.

Step by stepOn desktop

2Switch on Enable graph view.

Opening it

A graph button appears in the note list header on both platforms. On desktop it opens a full screen canvas, on mobile a full sheet.

Step by stepOn desktop
1Click the graph button in the note list header.
2Your notes open as dots, and the links between them as lines.
Step by stepOn mobile
1Tap the graph button in the note list header.
2The graph opens in a sheet; tap a dot to open that note.

Moving around

Pan and zoom freely, with pinch to zoom on mobile. Note titles fade in as you zoom closer. Click or tap any dot to open that note.

What it is good for

Clusters show topics that grew without you naming them. Isolated dots are notes nothing points to, which is sometimes fine and sometimes a sign the note is orphaned. Students use the graph to check coverage before an exam, writers use it to find the essay hiding in scattered notes.

If the graph is empty

The graph only shows notes and the links between them, so a library with no internal links renders as scattered dots. Link a few related notes and the shape appears.
