Working with your knowledge

Once sources are processed, the app's top navigation gives you six surfaces: Board · Wiki · Ask · Graph · Audit · Settings. The left sidebar lists your sources and wiki pages; the right Inspector shows details for whatever you've selected.

Tips that apply everywhere. Press ⌘K for the command palette — jump to any view, search across wiki/sources/tasks/vault files, open ANTHRACITE.md or config.json, or run processing/audits. Selecting an item in the sidebar fills the Inspector (it won't force the panel open); toggle the Inspector from the top-right panel button.

Wiki

The processed knowledge base — linked Markdown pages distilled from your sources ("what I know").

• Open a page from the sidebar or via ⌘K search.
• Pages link to each other; click links to navigate.
• The Inspector shows the page's backlinks and metadata.
• Pages can be deleted from the sidebar; deleting is non-destructive to your sources (the originals in raw/ are untouched).

Board

Your tasks, goals, habits, and events extracted from journal-style sources ("what I should do"). The board's name, subtitle, and views come from the ## Board section of your ANTHRACITE.md.

• Entries are classified into kinds (built-ins: action, goal, habit, event, idea, value; your vault can define more). The board splits them into sub-views: Tasks (Eisenhower matrix), Goals (goals/values/ideas), Habits, and Events (timeline by date).
• The matrix lays actions out by urgent × important: Do first, Schedule, Delegate, Eliminate. Drag cards between quadrants — that updates their priority — or into the collapsible Completed / Cancelled sections at the bottom.
• Filters in the toolbar: by collection, by source, and due this week; plus a comfortable/compact density toggle.
• Multi-select & bulk actions: select multiple cards (or sidebar rows) to complete, change kind/quadrant, or delete them together; multi-drag works on the board.
• Click a card to edit it in the Inspector (title, due date, status, quadrant). Manual edits are preserved across recompose — tuning ANTHRACITE.md re-classifies tasks without losing your board state.
• Get tasks out: the board's ⋯ menu exports a calendar file (.ics), a Todoist-importable CSV, or a JSON for Apple Reminders (via Shortcuts). These are one-shot exports, not live sync.

Ask

Ask natural-language questions across your processed knowledge. Answers are grounded in your wiki/sources.

• Start a fresh thread with ⌘K → New conversation.
• Requires an LLM to be configured (free local Ollama/MLX, or your own API key — see Settings & local models).

Graph

A visual map of how your wiki pages connect ("Connections").

• Click a node to open that page.
• Drag to explore; the layout is interactive.

Review

The per-source review/correction surface (reached by opening a source). Use it to check and fix the extracted text — e.g. correct how handwritten reMarkable pages were read — before or after processing.

• Media is zoomable (the shared preview component) so you can read the original alongside the extracted text.
• Editing here updates extracted.md; leaving with unsaved edits prompts Save · Discard · Cancel so you don't lose work.
• A Read again action is available per source (Read page N again per page) when you've changed OCR settings or signifier rules.

Audit

A quality pass over your wiki — surfaces issues like thin/orphaned pages so you can tidy the knowledge base.

• Run it from the Audit tab or ⌘K → Run Audit.
• Findings are actionable (create a stub, unlink, exclude); some can be suppressed if intentional.
• Find duplicate pages (also via ⌘K) looks for wiki pages that are really the same topic — e.g. one processed from a reMarkable page and one from Notion — and proposes merges. Clear cases merge automatically (with Undo); borderline ones land in a review queue for you to accept or dismiss.

The sidebar & Inspector

• Sidebar (left): grouped lists of sources and wiki pages, plus search/add affordances. Right-click an item for its full action set; hover for the common 1–2 verbs. Resize by dragging the edge. Each section has its own sort/filter menu (status, connector, namespace, due date, …).
• Inspector (right): context-aware — it shows a task's editable detail, a wiki page's backlinks, or a source's metadata + zoomable preview. With nothing selected it offers import + quick actions. Resize or close it from its header.
• Deleted pages: deleting a wiki page adds it to a Deleted Pages ledger at the bottom of the sidebar, so processing again later won't silently resurrect it — restore from there if you change your mind.

Keyboard shortcuts

And one for the patient: processing can take a while on local models, so a small game icon appears in the top bar while it runs. Click it.
