Your mind isn't linear.
Your notes shouldn't be either.
Aether is a keyboard-first, local-first markdown workspace that connects your ideas dynamically. Banish folders, embrace bidirectional links, and visualize your cognitive network growing in real time.
Interactive Demonstration Sandbox
Click the links inside the notes or directly select nodes from the neural graph. Type in the editor to modify the active note. Watch your brain update dynamically.
Designed for Infinite Scaling.
Keyboard Driven Everything
Never touch your mouse. Invoke the prompt via ⌘K, find articles, query semantically, compile drafts, and organize tags instantly.
Bidirectional Autolinking
Writing [[Idea]]creates a new file if it doesn't exist and links them bidirectionally. Track backtracking pathways seamlessly.
Offline & Local First
Your brain isn't rented from Verisign. Notes are stored locally on your device as standard, plain-text markdown. Easily readable by standard shell utilities forever.
The Anti-Category Manifesto
"The structure of folders implies an answer before the question has even been formulated. Networked thought means building connections as you discover them, creating meaning through association."
Most notebook software forces you to pick a folder for your note. This creates an immediate cognitive hurdle: Where does this belong? In marketing? Under books? Or under journal?
With Aether, you just create a page. Link it to relevant things as they pop up. As connections build, structure naturally crystallizes. You discover hidden pathways in your own thought patterns. It is an extension of your memory, operating as a biological neural web.
