What Is Graph View?
Graph View is an interactive map of your SiderMem personal wiki — each node is a topic your saved memories touch on, and edges connect related topics, so you can visually explore how your notes, sources, and ideas connect instead of scrolling through a flat list of saved items.
How it works
- Every memory you save — a web page, note, file, or AI chat — is analyzed to extract the entities and topics it touches on.
- Each distinct entity becomes a wiki page, aggregating every memory that touches on it.
- Wiki pages that share entities or reference each other are connected — these connections become the edges in the graph.
- Graph View renders all of this as a force-directed graph you can pan, zoom, and click through to open any page's full content.
When to use it
Graph View is most useful when you want to see the shape of everything you know about an area — how a project connects to the people, tools, and decisions around it — rather than searching for one specific fact.
For a single, specific question ("what did I decide about X"), Ask or search will usually get you there faster.
How SiderMem handles this
Graph View is one of three ways to explore your knowledge base in SiderMem, alongside a topic-page view and Ask. It reads only from your wiki pages — the same automatically organized structure described in what a personal knowledge base extension is — so what you see in the graph always reflects what you've actually saved.
Limitations
Graph View reflects automatic entity extraction, so very sparse knowledge bases (only a handful of saved memories) will show a sparse graph — the graph gets more useful as you save more.
