Synapse.
Your Brain,
made visible.
The desktop app for Claude's Brain. Admin-first, buyer-ready. Interactive graph of your vault. In-app markdown editor. Access code generator. Command palette. Soft Brutalism aesthetic, entirely local.
// WHAT IT IS
Every note.
Every link. One view.
Synapse is the desktop window into Claude's Brain -- an interactive force-directed graph of your entire knowledge vault. Click any node, land in the editor. Changes flow back to Obsidian instantly. Also the admin console for generating access codes, packaging chunks, and eventually -- a reader mode for buyers.
// TWO MODES
Admin & Reader.
One app.
Toggle from the top bar. Admin is for you -- the owner of the Brain. Reader is for buyers -- they see only what they've paid to unlock. Both share the same graph, the same editor interface, the same keyboard palette.
You, the author.
Full read-write access. Edit, restructure, generate codes, package chunks, view analytics.
Buyers, tomorrow.
Locked per-chunk access. Read-only preview of everything. Upsell hooks where content is gated.
// CAPABILITIES
Admin-first.
Buyer-ready.
01 / GRAPH
Force-directed map
Interactive, zoomable, pan-able. Every note a node. Every wiki-link an edge. Click to jump into the editor.
02 / EDITOR
In-app editing
Browse folders. Click a note. Edit in place. Changes write back to the Obsidian vault on disk, instantly.
03 / CODES
Access code mint
Generate XXXX-XXXX-XXXX codes in the correct checksum format for each Brain chunk. Bulk mint, export CSV.
04 / PALETTE
Ctrl+K search
Find any note, any folder, any connection, instantly. Keyboard-driven. Never touch a sidebar.
05 / PACKAGE
.apk builder
Wires to aphelion-packages/packager.py. One click: encrypt a chunk into a machine-lockable .apk.
06 / ANALYTICS
Vault insights
Most-linked notes. Orphan detection. Connection density per folder. What's working, what's unused.
07 / READER MODE
Buyer-ready UI
Toggle into reader mode. Locked chunks show upsell. Bookmarks, highlights. Becomes how buyers read the Brain.
08 / LICENSE
Machine-locked
Fingerprint-tied licenses. .apk files decrypt only on the buyer's machine. Copy → useless.
09 / LOCAL FIRST
Runs entirely on your desk
Python + pywebview. No cloud. No auth. Zero telemetry. Your vault never leaves the machine.
// KEYBOARD-FIRST
Every view, a keystroke away.
Your Brain,
on your desk.
