Your thinking has depth.

Filamental projects your files and notes into a navigable, three- dimensional space. Native documents, external assets, and connected media exist as unified nodes within a single conceptual structure.

Every node has a point Every connection gives a reason. The busiest node pushes its neighbours furthest out, and the short runs to dead ends pull in close.
OBJECT PERMANENCE

Two studios, and one structure underneath them

It is two sides of the same coin, two sets of tools, two ways to approach. The Studios use the same data and knowledge, so moving between them is a toggle not a conversion.

Space Studio On the left, the nodes are arranged in their classifications. On the right, the notes, the relationships, structured data, attachments and all the recorded facts sit within the node itself.
Space Studio. A residential development space with its node pages listed down the left, grouped by counterparty, development, issue, milestone, obligation and person. Ash Tree Lane is selected in the graph and its panel on the right carries the notes, the relationships out to the main contractor, developer, planning permission and architects, and its recorded properties: eight semi-detached houses, a gross development value of £3.2M and a pre-commencement phase.
Publisher Studio The same space and the same node, laid out to be read. Arrange the graph as a table of contents, allowing your audience to see the relationships. There is a huge amount of customisation available to make your pages your own.
Publisher, on the same space. The graph stays on the left with Ash Tree Lane joined to its main contractor, its architects, its ecologist and the Start on Site milestone; on the right the same development is a laid out document, with a photograph of a new-build street as its cover, the Ash Tree Lane heading and body copy giving eight semi-detached houses on a 0.4 hectare infill site under planning reference 2024/0891/FUL.
Why this exists

Documents have been linear since the 1980s. The world is a little different now.

01

The flowchart nobody remembers

It made sense in the meeting. By Thursday it is boxes without a narrator.

02

The fifty-page proposal

Everything is in there somewhere. Do I scroll up or down?

03

The folder that became an archive

You didn’t lose the work. You lost sight and control of it.

It isn’t you. The tools flattened the problem before you ever got to it.

Nothing here needs a narrator The reasoning is on the connector.
Motion detected, controls, located in... each line says what it is for, so the structure still explains itself to whoever opens it next.
A Filamental space mapping smart home devices. Named nodes are joined by colour-coded connectors (green for controls, orange for triggers, red for location) with the relationship written on the arrow itself, such as “motion detected”.
Premature filing

Every filing system asks where a thing goes before it’s established what exactly the thing is

You have to answer at the beginning, when you know least about it, and the guess becomes a constraint.

Filamental holds the part of a project that has not settled yet, where things sit near each other before anybody decides why. When it does settle there is nothing to convert, because it was files all along.

Why premature filing costs more than untidiness

Ownership

Buy the software and stop renting your work back

01

Your nodes and pages are Markdown on your own disk. Open them in anything, move them anywhere, and keep them forever.

02

There is no account to create and no server holding your work. A service wants to know your business, Filamental couldn’t even if we wanted to.

03

Anything you share is encrypted before it leaves your machine. We cannot read it, with or without the password. 

04

You are not the product. We like money as much as anyone else, we just don’t think selling you and your work is a reasonable way to make it.

File formats
Markdown with YAML frontmatter + any file format imports, attaches, opens
Imports
Obsidian vaults, any wikilink Markdown folder, Mermaid
AI

We don’t do AI. You do.

There is no Filly the Filamental Agent, because it would never be as good as the AI you already pay for. Use or bring that one instead.

LOCAL MCP

Already works

If you work in Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor, just plug them in and it is there the moment you open them.

Your own API key

Including the one on your own machine

Cloud or local, whichever you already trust. We supply the connector, not the opinion.

The difference

No metering. No credits. No seats.

Every other product seems to impose AI. We use it quite a lot and don’t see the value of forcing you to use ours, so we don’t.

Connects to
Any Local MCP client, including Claude, Cursor, LM Studio
Accepts keys from
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, DeepSeek, Moonshot, Qwen, Z.AI, MiniMax
Who it is for

Filamental is self-selecting. In 10 minutes you’ll know if it’s for you.

Ciao for now

It isn’t just a whiteboard, or notes app, or doc builder. It’s all of the above.

And it has aliens.
