I built it for my own work first.

Notes are written the way Obsidian’s Live Preview shows them: what you type is formatted as you type it, and the Markdown marks (# ** [[ ]] > -) appear only on the line you are on. Headings, bold, italic, highlights, links, lists, quotes and checklists read as they will look, and Ctrl+click follows a link. Clicking a note puts the cursor where you clicked. Ctrl+Shift+V, or right-click → Paste as plain text, pastes only the words — never the picture Excel or Office copies alongside them. Bold on a double-clicked word now works even when the space after it is selected too.

The graph can centre on the note you have open and show only what it links to, or only what links to it; links are drawn as arrows, so you can see which note mentions which. A note can be read as a mind map of its entries, headings and lists. A Mermaid block in a note is drawn as a diagram, and the toolbar has a button that starts one for you. The formatting toolbar stays in view while you write a long entry. Right-click in a note for spelling suggestions, to add a word to the dictionary, and for the same formats as the toolbar. The window can be snapped to half the screen.

You can pin folders as well as files and links: choose Add → Folder on the Pinned panel, or drag a folder onto it, and a click opens it in File Explorer. The graph now places notes of the same colour together, so each category, or tag, has its own area; give a note a new colour and it moves to that group.

A back button in each note returns to the note you had open before it (Alt+←). Review tags, under ⚙ or in a note’s Category & tags, lists every tag and how many notes use it, finds the same tag spelled differently, and lets you merge, rename or remove tags in every note at once. A × in the search box clears it. The search shortcut is Alt+Space again; if another program already uses it, Kosnote uses Ctrl+Alt+Space, and you can choose a different one in ⚙ → Summon key.

The graph follows your search: as you type, or pick a status filter, the matching notes stay bright, the rest fade, and the view moves to show them. The search shortcut is now Ctrl+Alt+Space, because Windows already uses Alt+Space; you can choose a different one in ⚙ → Summon key. You can now hide the left column too (Ctrl+Shift+\). Tags written as a list in Obsidian’s Properties are read correctly.

Folders are optional: new notes go to the top of your workbench, and a new note can link back to the one you came from. Nudges shows notes with no links. You can drag files and links onto Pinned, fold Workbench and Pinned, and hide the right column (Ctrl+\). Work areas are gone; the “gone quiet” reminder now watches the folders your notes link to.
