GleanaryBrowse your library
Your library has three views. Search works in all of them, with or without AI.
Choose a view
Section titled “Choose a view”Use the buttons in the toolbar to switch views.
| View | Shows |
|---|---|
| Map | Your categories as nested regions, with each item as a tile. |
| List | Your items as rows. |
| Graph | Your notes and sources as points, with lines between related items. |
On the Map, each item appears once, in its main category. Items with no category are grouped under Uncategorized.
To hide categories with nothing in them, turn on Hide empty categories. Empty categories are drawn with dashed outlines when they’re shown.
Filter what you see
Section titled “Filter what you see”The tabs at the top choose which items to show:
- All
- Notes: everything written in Gleanary
- Sources: everything you saved from elsewhere
- Archived: only archived items
In the sidebar, choose a category to see what’s filed there, or Unfiled to see items without a category.
Search
Section titled “Search”Search looks through the text of every item in your library, and matches the start of words. It runs on your Mac and doesn’t need an AI provider.
Archived items don’t appear in search.
Read the graph
Section titled “Read the graph”Lines in the graph show how two items are related.
| Line | Means |
|---|---|
| Linked notes | You applied a link between the two items. |
| Found via | Gleanary saved one item while following a link from the other. |
| Source provenance | A note uses a source you saved. |
| Saved link | One item links to the other in its text. |
| Note property | A note’s Project, Participant or Related field points to the other. |
To include people, organizations and tools as points, change the Graph setting in Settings › Appearance.
The side panel lists Items in this graph. Use Find in this graph to search it, and select an item to see its connections.
See one item’s connections
Section titled “See one item’s connections”An item’s preview has a Connections section. It shows up to 30 connected items. Choose Explore in Graph to see them all.
