Nodus

Local-first knowledge graph with EU sovereignty. Canvas-based visual thinking where your data stays yours.

Everything in One Place

🎨 Single Canvas

The document and whiteboard are the same thing. No embeds, no context switching. Connect ideas visually with arrows and relationships.

∫ Native Typst Math

Sub-second math rendering with modern Typst syntax. Write equations naturally without 90-second LaTeX compile times.

📂 Obsidian Bridge

Bi-directional sync with your Obsidian vault. Your markdown files stay compatible. Use both tools together.

🔒 Local-First

Your data never leaves your device unless you choose to sync. No cloud required. Full offline functionality.

🧠 LLM Integration

Connect local models via Ollama or cloud providers. Smart organization, semantic connections, and AI-assisted research.

📤 Export Anywhere

Export to PDF, Typst source, or Markdown. Your knowledge is never locked in. Take it anywhere.
