## What is Synapse?

Synapse transforms the way you capture and connect knowledge.
Every book you read, every film that moves you, every idea worth keeping — Synapse turns them into a living graph where nothing stays isolated.
— CAPTURE WHAT MATTERS
Add books, movies, series, journals and personal notes as sources. Write fast, think clearly. Notes link themselves through [[wikilinks]] as you type.
— SEE HOW YOU THINK
Your knowledge graph visualises every connection in real time. Tap any node to explore. Tap any edge to read why two ideas are connected. Drag nodes to organise your mental map the way you see the world.
— DISCOVER HIDDEN CONNECTIONS
Synapse AI reads your entire graph and surfaces non-obvious links between notes — the kind your conscious mind skipped. Swipe right to accept a connection and save the reason forever.
— DISCOVER WHAT TO READ NEXT
Open any source and let Gemini recommend a book, film and series that share its soul. Not keyword matches — deep thematic resonance.
— YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL
Everything is stored locally on your device, encrypted at rest. Export your full graph as JSON at any time. Delete your account permanently in one tap.
Synapse is for readers, thinkers, and anyone who believes their best ideas come from connecting what they already know.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-28

• The Connect screen now shows how Synapse links your ideas by meaning,
  with a short "See how it works" guide.
• A redesigned knowledge graph: color-coded connections, glowing key
  ideas, and a focus mode that lights up everything a note connects to.
• Quick capture in the Vault now opens the full note editor.
• Refined navigation and smoother performance.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-18

A polish-focused update. Discover recommendations have a cleaner, more editorial look, the graph's node and connection menus have been redesigned to feel simpler and more focused, and you can now long-press a note for quick actions. Plus visual refinements and small fixes across the app.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-15

A design refresh focused on polish and speed:
• Redesigned share cards — share notes as a beautiful image to Instagram Stories or as plain text.
• A faster "New source" sheet for adding books, movies, series, and topics.
• Swipe to delete notes, with a confirmation.
• Smoother swipe-back navigation.
• Warmer colors and refined details throughout.
Thanks for using Synapse!

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-23

This update polishes the writing and graph experience:
• Notes: the cursor now stays comfortably above the keyboard while you write longer entries.
• Knowledge Graph: nodes spread out across more space so dense graphs are easier to read, with room to pan and explore — plus a tap-to-fit view.
• Smoother, cleaner launch with no flicker on open.
Thanks for using Synapse!
