GraphiumUser Manual

How to use Graphium — from your first note to materials, AI, and provenance.

Just write

Notes and quick memos in a fast block editor — tables, images, formulas. No account, no setup, and versions are kept as you go.

📥

Put everything in

PDFs, web pages, Word files, images, audio — and captures straight from your phone. Toss it in now, organize it later.

🔎

It stays reusable

Everything you put in can be found again — search spans notes and materials (even text inside images), and @-links tie notes, memos, and sources together.

🕸️

Provenance when you want it

Mark steps, inputs, tools, parameters, and outputs, and Graphium draws how you worked — exportable as standard PROV. No AI needed.

🤖

AI beside you

Chat about the note you're writing and ask with ⌘K — answers draw on your own notes and cite them. Works with your AI subscription or API key.

💡

Knowledge that grows

Distill notes into summaries, claims, and insights that cite their sources — and check them against the outside world.

How this manual is organized

Getting started — the everyday basics first, then the doors to the deeper layers.
Everyday use — the editor, outside materials, and capturing from your phone.
Going further — AI at your side, steps and the provenance graph, and the Knowledge layer.
Platforms & data — the desktop app and where your data lives.
Reference — every setting, every shortcut, and the release history.

Each feature page notes the version it first appeared in, like this: Added in v0.15.0 (2026-06-05). For the story of how Graphium got here, see the feature roadmap; for every change, the release history.
