The graph
The graph is the web of connections between your notes — and in Altretta it's backed by a real semantic graph database, not just a list of wikilinks. Every link you write, and every mention of a note's name, becomes an edge you can follow, filter, and query.
If you've used Obsidian or Logseq, the surface will feel familiar — backlinks and a graph view work the way you expect. The difference is underneath: your vault is stored as subject–predicate–object triples in a graph database, which is what lets the AI traverse your knowledge to ground its answers and lets Altretta build Maps & Manuals and code Impact Radius on top.
Two ways to think about it
- On the surface — the connections you can see and click: backlinks and the graph view, which is the 3D star-map — there's no separate flat 2D graph. These help you rediscover ideas and navigate by shape instead of by folder.
- Underneath — the semantic graph: a queryable database of your knowledge. Obsidian's graph is a picture of your links; Altretta's graph is a database of them.
Explore the graph
Backlinks & unlinked mentions
See every note that links to the current one — plus unlinked mentions, places your note's name appears without a link yet. Turn a mention into a link in one action.
The graph view
The 3D graph at local or global scale, with toggles for Notes / Code / All and for a Constellation or Layers layout. Nodes are notes, edges are links.
The 3D star-map ✦
A showpiece 3D visualization that renders your vault as a starfield — navigate your knowledge as a constellation.
The semantic graph ✦
Why Altretta's graph is a real graph database, and what that unlocks: grounded AI, Maps & Manuals, code Impact Radius, and provenance.
The connections start the moment you write links. See Links & embeds for how wikilinks, aliases, and embeds work. This same visualization powers this documentation's own constellation — explore it at the docs map.
