Graph view is a note-app interface that lets a user see and explore the relationships between notes as an interactive diagram, applying the node-and-edge model of a 📝Knowledge Graph to a personal vault.
In 📝Obsidian, Graph view is a core plugin, one of the built-in 📝plugins maintained by the Obsidian team. A note's circle grows larger the more other notes reference it. Hovering over a note highlights its connections, clicking it opens the note, and the view can be zoomed and panned with the mouse or keyboard.
Filters narrow what the graph shows: a file search, toggles for tags and attachments, an option to hide links to notes that do not exist yet, and an orphans toggle that shows or hides notes without any links. Groups assign a colour to every note matching a search term. Display settings add arrows for link direction and an Animate option that plays a time-lapse of notes in order of creation, while force settings tune how compact the layout is and how strongly nodes repel and links pull.
The local graph supports the same settings as the global one and adds depth: each extra level shows the connections of the notes revealed at the previous level.
In 📝MythOS, 📝The Graph offers an orphans toggle with a live count, a focus on one memo's neighborhood at a chosen depth, colour rules, and saved views.
