SANE quietly reads your notes, finds what belongs together, and weaves the threads — tags, summaries, links — without ever touching your prose.
Six small powers that, together, turn a folder of notes into something that remembers itself.
Open a sidebar to see notes connected by meaning. "Neural networks" finds your jottings on "backpropagation" — even when no word matches.
Tags, keywords, links, summaries — all written to the YAML at the top. Your prose stays exactly as you wrote it.
Process instantly on save, after a delay, on a schedule, or strictly on demand.
OpenAI, Google AI, Grok, Azure, or fully local with Ollama. Mix and match for embeddings and chat.
Review likely duplicate or overlapping notes from the same semantic index. SANE surfaces candidates; you stay in control.
Every added field is prefixed sane_. One command undoes everything.
Add or edit a note. SANE notices and waits — or fires immediately. Your call.
An embedding is computed for your new content and compared against the vault's semantic map.
The most relevant existing notes surface as context — the threads worth weaving.
Tags, keywords, links, and a summary land in the frontmatter. The body of your note stays untouched.
Everything SANE adds lives in the YAML frontmatter, prefixed with sane_. Revert from the command palette, and every trace is gone.
