vedrr

Keyboard-first desktop knowledge manager with horizontal tree maps and vim-style navigation.

License: GPL-3.0 Latest Release Platform Built with Tauri Made with Rust

macOS (Apple Silicon) · macOS (Intel) · Linux (.deb) · Windows

Each topic lives in its own context, and every context is a horizontal tree you navigate with h/j/k/l. Create nodes, rearrange branches, attach images or files, and switch between contexts instantly.

Tree View

Why vedrr

  • Tree-native -- ideas are structured as horizontal trees, not flat documents or graphs. No plugins needed.
  • Keyboard-first -- vim-style h/j/k/l navigation, Tab to create, Enter to edit. Your hands stay on the keyboard.
  • Local-only -- all data stays in a local SQLite database. No cloud, no account, no telemetry, no network requests (unless you configure AI features).

Features

Node Editing

Create and edit nodes without leaving the keyboard — Tab to add, Enter to edit, type and done.

Node Editing

Node Movement

Rearrange your tree with Alt+h/j/k/l — reparent, reorder, restructure ideas fluidly.

Node Movement
