nodepad is a spatial note-taking web application where notes are placed on a canvas and AI quietly classifies them, infers connections, and surfaces emergent syntheses. It runs locally via npm, supports multiple LLM providers with browser-stored API keys, and offers tiling, kanban, and graph views.

Use cases

• organize research notes on a spatial canvas with AI-classified note types
• find connections between my notes automatically
• surface emergent insights and theses from a collection of notes
• use LLMs with my own API key without a backend server
• visualize notes as a force-directed graph or kanban board
• connect nodepad to local models like Ollama or LM Studio

When to choose

• you want AI to augment spatial/associative thinking rather than a chat interface
• you prefer keys stored locally and direct-to-provider API calls
• you want multiple views (tiling, kanban, graph) over the same notes
• you want to use self-hosted or OpenAI-compatible models

When to avoid

• you need mobile or small-screen support - it is built for desktop browsers
• you want a hosted, multi-user, or synced solution
• you need a traditional chat-based AI assistant
