Every thought knows its neighbors.

Commonplace maps your notes into a living constellation — each idea linked to the ones around it, each cluster denser than you remember.

How the map forms

You link

Type [[tea ceremony]] mid-sentence and the edge is drawn — no filing, no tagging ritual.

It backlinks

Every note keeps a list of what points at it — including the mentions you never formalized.

It resurfaces

The graph notices when today’s writing sits near an old node, and deals the note back to you.

A neighborhood, inspected

Open any note and you see its sky: everything that links in, everything it links to, and the second-order neighbors one hop away. Search finds what you typed. The neighborhood finds what you meant.
