ScrubGraph
A private visual knowledge tree for organising information across your life
ScrubGraph combines the quickness of notes with enough structure to make information easy to organise, navigate and find again. It is a visual personal filing system without the process and complexity of a project-management tool.
Begin with one root and branch into work, home, learning, people or anything else that matters. Every node can hold a title, a Markdown description, a priority and any number of child nodes.
ScrubGraph is free to use, needs no account and keeps your knowledge in your browser. Export the complete tree or a single branch as a portable, human-readable Markdown file whenever you choose.
Notes with a place and a path
Loose notes are easy to capture but harder to retrieve as they multiply. ScrubGraph gives every piece of information a clear parent, a visible path and a searchable home, while keeping the experience simple enough for everyday use.
Organise information your way
Build a dependable tree around the areas and subjects that make sense to you.
- Create branches to any logical depth
- Add Markdown notes and low, medium or high priorities
- Rename, reorder and move complete branches
- Undo and redo changes during your current session
See what matters now
Large knowledge trees stay approachable because the canvas shows the neighbourhood around your current focus rather than everything at once.
- Move through the tree by focusing on different nodes
- Choose how many nearby generations to display
- Use pan, zoom, fit-to-view and root navigation
- Follow breadcrumbs to understand your current path
Find anything again
Search works across the complete document, including branches that are not currently visible on the canvas.
- Search every node title and description
- See each result's full path and a relevant excerpt
- Navigate through the canvas, breadcrumbs or branch list
- Keep temporary or unclassified thoughts in a separate notepad
Edit without losing structure
Clear rules keep the tree predictable while you reshape it.
- Move a node together with all of its descendants
- Preview safely sanitised Markdown before saving
- Confirm before deleting an entire branch
- Prevent cycles, duplicate sibling names and broken relationships
Own a portable copy
Your durable source of truth is a readable file that you control, not an account tied to a platform.
- Export the complete graph as one Markdown file
- Export one branch without exposing unrelated information
- Import, replace or merge a valid ScrubGraph file
- Restore a browser-local recovery copy when needed
Private by design
ScrubGraph is a static, local-first browser app with no account, backend or cloud database.
- Graph content stays in your browser unless you export it
- Imported files are validated before they can change the graph
- Unsafe Markdown links are blocked and raw HTML is not rendered
- Optional analytics never includes graph content, notes or searches
Built for real knowledge, at any scale
- No account, subscription or installation required
- No artificial node-count or tree-depth limit
- Only a bounded neighbourhood is drawn, keeping large trees usable
- Essential actions are available without relying on the visual canvas
- Keyboard, touch and screen-reader friendly navigation
- A portable format you can read, archive and move elsewhere
