TERRA COGNITA
A Graph-First Semantic Explorer
Most tools visualize graphs. Terra Cognita thinks in them.
The graph is the primary object — the territory you navigate,
not a diagram bolted on for show. Explore ideas, trace lineages,
and discover the relationships hiding in your knowledge.
"The structure is never in the nodes. It's in what connects them."

Terra Cognita stores your notes as plain Markdown files in a folder of your choosing. We don't track you, record you, or transmit anything you didn't ask us to. AI features run on-device through Apple's Foundation Models. The only outbound traffic happens when you explicitly request it — fetching a Wikipedia page you pasted, for instance.
