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.
Where the work accumulates. Each node is a page of your writing, placed in space and joined to the others by connections you name, so the reasoning stays in the pages and how it all fits stays in the structure around them.
Somewhere to keep thinking, rather than somewhere to file things and forget them. Leave it for a year and you can still see the shape of what you know.
Where you curate what goes out. The same pages, laid out to be read: covers, columns, images, and the arrangement itself as the contents page. You can build entire documents here without ever touching the Space Studio, and plenty of people do exactly that.
Shareable as a link or a downloaded HTML file. Nothing to install at the other end, no account to make, it simply opens in a browser.
Or use Present mode to have your structure gently rotate in the background of your next meeting as the board take their seats.
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.
It made sense in the meeting. By Thursday it is boxes without a narrator.
Everything is in there somewhere. Do I scroll up or down?
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.
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.
Your nodes and pages are Markdown on your own disk. Open them in anything, move them anywhere, and keep them forever.
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.
Anything you share is encrypted before it leaves your machine. We cannot read it, with or without the password.
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.
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.
The AI you already pay for knows far more about your work than we ever will, and what it has never had is an output that isn’t a document. Connect it to a space and it can hand you a structure instead, which you can pass on as ordinary files that somebody else’s AI will read straight off.
It works the other way round as well. Everything you’ve already built is sitting there as files with the relationships written into them, so there’s nothing to prepare before you point a model at it.
One click connects Claude Desktop. Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and LM Studio take one JSON entry, and they read and write the real space rather than a copy of it.
Paste a key from whoever you already pay and it works out the rest. We supply the connector, not the opinion.
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.
You may have met us already as 3D Filamental Graph, a free plugin that spins your vault around in a tab. That one’s a toy, and we’re fond of it. The part worth knowing is that the vault itself opens in Filamental, as it is, with nothing to import.
Obsidian is open on a second screen here most days, and for knowledge that’s been worked out and written down it’s the best thing we know. Filamental is for the other half, the work that hasn’t settled yet and will eventually have to make sense to somebody who wasn’t there.
One folder runs in both directions, which is the useful part. A vault opens here when you want to see the shape of it and give the links something to say, and a space that’s reached the end of its useful life drops back into a vault, where it goes back to being notes with the structure still in the front matter. It’s the way a photographer moves one picture between two applications, each doing the half it’s good at, and neither of them owning it.
What you get in between is a structure you’ve set yourself. Every type, connector, colour and layout is yours to name and change, and you change them in the app rather than in a config file.
It renders the vault you have open and writes nothing back into it. Every connection in it is a plain line, because a line is all a quick view can honestly show.
Point Filamental at the same folder and you can open it as it is, or run Import from Obsidian, which turns those wikilinks into connections you can name, aim and weight.
Nothing gets stranded here. A finished space is still plain Markdown with its structure in the front matter, so it drops into a vault and reads like notes again.
Our sector pages, each written using an example of the kind of work you do, attempt to illustrate the integration of the tools you already have open and the problems you already have.
