Database Table Views
Folders become databases
Filter, sort, group, save views, and edit cells inline while every row remains a Markdown document.
A local-first Markdown workspace with database views, hybrid search, and an interactive 3D knowledge graph. Organize it as a human, then give your agents the same context and tools.
Tesseract skills teach coding agents how your knowledge base works — from setup and search to database structure, relations, Shards, Topics, and graph curation. Humans and agents work against the same Markdown files and .markdownvdb index.
Project-local context that stays with your vault.

Explore explicit wikilinks, typed relation edges, semantic neighborhoods, and automatically discovered communities. Change layouts without losing the structure of your knowledge.
Let Tesseract discover communities automatically, then color the graph with curated, multi-label Topics.
Move between collection, Shard, folder-tree, local-neighborhood, document, and chunk graph views.
Find nodes instantly, animate a guided graph presentation, and export a clean visual of what you uncover.
Use wikilinks for ideas and typed frontmatter Relations for records. Backlinks and referenced-by views stay current, while orphan discovery shows what still needs a place in the graph.
Type [[page]] to connect any note — no folders, no drag-and-drop.
See body links and structured reverse references, automatically updated.
Pick linked records and navigate them as graph edges or table cells.
Linked notes auto-sync in the backlinks panel as you write — see @projects/tesseract.
Choose Source, WYSIWYG, or Preview for every note. Work across tabs, split panes, and multiple windows with slash commands, Mermaid diagrams, highlights, tables, and embedded media — all real Markdown underneath.
Search by meaning, exact text, or both. Add frontmatter filters, keep results inside an active Shard, and expand through graph links when the answer lives one or two hops away.
Finds related ideas even with different words.
Traditional text matching when you know exactly what to find.
Use typed properties, graph context, and Shards to narrow the result set.
Turn folders into live database views without moving your data out of Markdown. Add structure when it helps, keep plain files underneath, and let agents query the same records.
Filter, sort, group, save views, and edit cells inline while every row remains a Markdown document.
Use dates, selects, JSON, files, and relation pickers with schema-aware editing in documents and tables.
Create read-only computed fields that materialize back into Markdown and stay available to every tool.
Connect folders like tables, follow reverse references, and see relation edges directly in the graph.
Tesseract brings the surrounding tools into the same local workspace, so you can write, organize, automate, and inspect without stitching together a cloud stack.
Open existing vaults and let Tesseract import and safely sync Topics from tags and graph color groups.
Run commands beside your notes or automate the same collection through mdvdb’s structured JSON interface.
See watcher events, ingest progress, diagnostics, and computed-field updates without losing your editing flow.
Choose light or dark mode, a custom accent color, and a harmonic graph palette that follows your workspace.
Attach files as typed properties, paste images directly, preview PDFs and media, and keep assets collection-local.
Use OpenAI, OpenRouter, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Hugging Face, Ollama, or a custom endpoint.
Tesseract keeps your Markdown, assets, schema, and index on your machine. Use Ollama for fully local embeddings, or connect only the cloud provider you explicitly choose.
Standard .md files. No vendor lock-in. Take your notes anywhere.
Search indexes and configuration stay beside your collection. No account required.
Run locally with Ollama or bring credentials for the provider you select.
