MindGraph combines the rapid capture speed of Google Keep, the visual workflow of Kanban boards, and the networked intelligence of Obsidian — 100% self-hosted on your private cloud with zero vendor lock-in.
Implement OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow to allow one-click login with Google Identity credentials.
Connect thoughts with [[Product Roadmap]] and discover automatic backlinks without manual filing.
Most knowledge apps force you into a frustrating trade-off: speed vs. organization, or local files vs. web multi-user accessibility. MindGraph bridges the gap.
Great for quick sticky notes, but completely lacks markdown files, Kanban workflow boards, and graph linking. Your data is trapped in Google's proprietary silo.
Excellent local graph, but steep learning curve, requires dozens of fragile community plugins, and lacks a native web-based Google Keep grid for rapid capture.
Slow, heavy, and bloated. Relies on complex relational databases that take minutes to set up just to capture a 5-second thought, with costly recurring subscriptions.
The instant capture speed of Google Keep + The visual drag-and-drop workflow of Kanban + The 2D graph intelligence of Obsidian + 100% Markdown file ownership.
Capture fleeting thoughts before they evaporate. Use vibrant pastel color coding, toggle interactive checkboxes with single clicks, pin high-priority notes, and categorize effortlessly with tags.
Notes shouldn't just sit in a folder — they represent actionable work. Drag and drop task cards between To-Do, In Progress, and Completed columns to track execution visually.
Connect your ideas like neurons in the brain using simple [[wikilinks]]. MindGraph maps the relationships automatically using real-time D3 force-directed physics.
Every note is saved as a standard .md plain-text file on your own Azure cloud storage. If you ever leave MindGraph, your notes open seamlessly in VSCode, Obsidian, or any markdown reader.
