# ScrubGraph

A private visual knowledge tree for organising information across your life

[Open ScrubGraph](https://scrubnet.org/scrubgraph/)

**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.

*Focus on one useful part of your knowledge tree while the complete structure stays organised underneath.*

## 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
