Mempalace // Your second brain

Your knowledge.
As a universe
you can navigate.

Every thought you've had, every document you've fed it, every session you've run — organised into concept planets in a personal knowledge galaxy. The more you use Celestos, the richer it gets. Ask it what you know, fly through what you've built, let it connect what you never realised was related. All of it private. All of it yours.

The Galaxy // Concept planets, navigable nodes

Your memories aren’t a list. They’re a world.

Celestos groups everything you've given it by theme and renders it as a 3D galaxy you can fly through. Each planet is a topic cluster โ€” Personal, Work, Hardware, Science, Code, Learning, and more. Click in and you see every memory, session, and document connected to that world. Zoom out and you see how they all relate to each other.

๐ŸŒ
Personal

Goals, journals, voice memos, life decisions, relationships, recurring thoughts.

๐Ÿ’ผ
Work

Projects, client notes, decisions, meeting minutes, research, strategies.

๐Ÿ’ป
Code

Repos, technical decisions, debugging sessions, architecture notes, snippets.

๐Ÿ”ฌ
Learning

Study notes, flashcards, papers, lectures, ideas you're still figuring out.

โš™๏ธ
Hardware & Science

Specs, experiments, build logs, research threads, anything technical.

โœจ
Everything else

Celestos creates new planets automatically as your knowledge grows into new territory.

Session Moons // Every conversation, in orbit

Your past thinking is always one double-click away.

Each concept planet has moons โ€” your individual sessions, orbiting the topic they belong to. Zoom into a planet and its moons appear. Click a moon and the camera flies to it. Double-click and Celestos reanimates that entire conversation โ€” dropping you straight back into where you were, on the same model, picking up exactly where you left off.

What moons are
Each moon is a single conversation, document ingest, or research session
They orbit the concept planet they belong to โ€” grouped by what they're about, not when you had them
Hover a moon to see the session title, date, and a one-line summary
Double-click to jump back into that conversation โ€” full context restored
What you can do from a moon
Continue in Chat โ€” reopens the session and picks up from where it ended
Add to context โ€” loads the memory as active context for your next request
What connects to this? โ€” pulses all related memories across the galaxy
Make a podcast about this planet โ€” generates audio from everything in this topic cluster
9 Visual Modes // Nine ways to see the same knowledge

Switch how your brain looks. Not just how it feels.

The top bar in the Graph lets you switch between nine visual modes โ€” each one draws the same memory in a completely different way. Not themes. Different ways of understanding your own knowledge.

Galaxy

The default orbital view. Concept planets float in space, session moons in orbit around them.

Timeline

Every session laid out chronologically. See how your thinking has evolved over time.

Synapse

Connections between concepts are the focus. See what's wired to what โ€” the map of how your knowledge is linked.

Drift

Nodes float freely, gravity-free. A fluid, ambient view of your knowledge โ€” less structured, more atmospheric.

Bloom

Concepts expand outward from a centre like a flower. Good for exploring a single topic and everything it touches.

Cosmos

Deep space scale. Everything visible at once โ€” the full scope of what Celestos knows about you.

Psyche

A more psychological layout โ€” nodes weighted by how often you return to them. Your most-visited thinking, front and centre.

Quantum

Uncertainty-inspired layout. Nodes probabilistically positioned โ€” the graph as it might be rather than what it is.

Dither

A noise-grain aesthetic. The same data through a different visual filter โ€” striking for screenshots and overview glances.

Voice Navigation // Name it, Celestos finds it

You don’t navigate to a memory. You name it.

Toggle Hands-Free in the Graph, say the wake word, then speak. Celestos scores every session and concept against what you said and flies to the best match. The more specific your phrase, the faster the lock. And if two memories are equally likely, it reads them back and waits for you to say "one" or "two."

Smart matching

Matching is word-boundary and meaning-aware. Filler words are ignored. If two memories match equally well, Celestos reads both back: "I found 2: one, Tesla coil resonance. Two, Tesla Model 3 road trip. Say one or two." It never guesses wrong silently.

Hand Mode // Fly your galaxy with bare hands

Navigate your second brain without touching anything.

Toggle Hand Mode and a webcam picture-in-picture opens with a live hand skeleton overlay. You fly the entire galaxy with gestures. Point to aim. Pinch to select. Open palm to orbit. Fist to reset. It runs entirely offline โ€” the hand-tracking model is bundled with the app. Your webcam feed never leaves your device.

GESTURE REFERENCE
Point Index finger extended โ€” hover and aim at a node
Pinch Thumb + index together โ€” select or click the targeted node
Open palm Spread flat hand โ€” pan and orbit the camera
Fist Closed hand โ€” reset the camera view
Swipe Sweep sideways โ€” cycle to the next visual mode
Two hands Both hands spread apart โ€” zoom in and out

Connections // What you never told it was related

It connects the dots you didn’t know needed connecting.

Celestos doesn't just store your knowledge โ€” it maps the semantic distance between every memory. A voice memo from three months ago surfaces as related to a document you added yesterday. A research session connects to a client conversation you had in a completely different project. The graph finds the edges your conscious mind skipped.

> what did I decide about the pricing model? Searching 847 memory nodes... Found 3 directly relevant sessions Found 2 related documents (pricing_v2.pdf, notes_mar.txt) Found 1 voice memo from 6 weeks ago โœ“ Answering from your memory In the April 3rd session you settled on a tiered model. The voice memo from March flagged the concern about the free tier. Your pricing_v2.pdf revised the tiers upward.
Ask from your memory
"What did we decide about X?" โ€” searches your sessions, not the internet
"Summarise everything I know about this client" โ€” pulls from all related projects
"What was that idea I had three weeks ago?" โ€” semantic search across all nodes
"Find the document where we listed the competitors" โ€” searches your ingested files
Semantic edges โ€” not keyword matching

Celestos uses embeddings to find related memories even when the words don't overlap. "financial model" connects to "spreadsheet from the board meeting" connects to "pricing decision" โ€” because they're about the same thing, not because they share words.

Feed it anything // Every format becomes a memory

Your second brain eats everything.

01
Conversations
Every session you run gets stored, indexed, and linked to relevant memory nodes. Context carries automatically.
02
Voice memos
Speak a thought on your phone or desktop. Celestos transcribes it instantly and places it in the right knowledge cluster.
03
Documents & PDFs
Drop in any file. Celestos ingests the content, extracts what's meaningful, and connects it semantically to related nodes.
04
Video transcripts
Paste a YouTube link or drop a video. The transcript becomes a searchable memory node, connected to related material.
05
Brain-dumps
Unstructured text, half-formed ideas, raw notes โ€” Celestos parses them and files them in the most relevant project automatically.
06
Research sessions
Sparks, browser research, Hive outputs โ€” every AI run gets filed. Your research accumulates into expertise.
Projects // Organised workspaces with compounding memory

A project that knows your world before you start.

Create a Project for a client, a book, a startup idea, or anything ongoing. Celestos keeps a compounding wiki for each one โ€” updated automatically as you add material. Every time you open that project, Celestos knows what's already been decided, what's still open, and what connects to what.

Start a project for my book and dump all my notes here
Create a project for this client โ€” build a memory of their brand, preferences, and past decisions
Group all my research on this topic so it carries between sessions
Add this contract to my legal project and note the key terms
What has this client asked me about before?
Summarise everything I know about this market across all my sessions
The compounding wiki

Each project gets a wiki that Celestos updates as you add material. It's not a summary you write โ€” it's an evolving knowledge base Celestos builds automatically from everything you've fed into that project. The longer you use it, the better it gets.

Context depth controls
Recent Context Only โ€” lighter, focused on the last few sessions
All Recorded Memory โ€” full recall across everything stored in this project
Memory Depth โ€” set how far back the recall reaches
Hyper-Memory Loop // Nothing gets lost, everything stays sharp

Celestos doesn’t drop old context. It distils it.

When a session grows long, most AI tools just lose the beginning. Celestos does something different: it summarises the oldest turns into a Briefing Note and archives the raw content. The active window stays focused. You keep the full history. Nothing is deleted โ€” it's compressed.

01 ยท Compress

Oldest turns are distilled into a compact Briefing Note. The reasoning, the decisions, the key facts โ€” preserved in one dense block.

02 ยท Archive

The full raw conversation is kept in your memory graph. You can recall any part of it later โ€” it's not gone, just out of the active window.

03 ยท Continue

The active context carries the Briefing Note plus the newest turns. You never lose the thread โ€” even in sessions that run for hours.

Privacy // Your brain stays on your machine

The most personal thing you could build. Kept entirely private.

Your memory graph lives in plain files on your own machine under data/memory/. You can browse it, back it up, or delete any part of it โ€” it's just files. If you run a local model, the recall and reasoning over your memories both happen on-device. Nothing leaves your computer unless you choose a cloud model.

What lives on your machine
All conversations โ€” stored as plain files
All voice memos โ€” transcribed locally
All documents โ€” ingested and indexed locally
The memory graph itself โ€” ChromaDB, on-device
All project wikis โ€” plain files you can read and edit
What never happens
Your memories are never synced to a Celestos server
No third party processes your personal knowledge graph
No vendor can access, delete, or lose your data
No account required to store or recall memory
Listen back // Your knowledge as audio

Turn your knowledge graph into a podcast.

Pick a project or a topic. Celestos synthesises everything it knows about it into a two-host dialogue, renders it with local TTS voices, and saves it as audio you can listen to anywhere. Your second brain โ€” narrated back to you on the commute, before a meeting, or whenever you're away from a screen.
