I made a local-first 3D viewer for Obsidian / Markdown vaults
I’ve been working on a small open-source project called Vault Kosmos.
It visualizes an Obsidian-compatible Markdown vault as a local 3D space: folders, notes, links, clusters, and changes over time.
And yes, this is vibe-coded. I used it as an experiment to see how far I could get with AI-assisted development on a visual tool that is mostly about feeling and exploration.
The current alpha includes:
- 3D graph view for folders, notes, and links
- flight and focus modes
- cluster / depth visualization
- a timeline view
- a static demo vault
- local connector mode for your own vault
- no cloud indexing, no telemetry
The video shows a rendered flight through a demo vault: approaching it from outside, following link structures, moving through clusters, and leaving the space again.
It may not be the most practical way to manage notes. It is a very nice way to look at a vault, though.
