Deep-dive into one topic at a time, with related ideas orbiting around it.
Radial Focus is a specialized view for exploring a single node and its immediate connections — without the distraction of your entire knowledge graph.
Instead of showing you everything at once, Radial Focus places one central node in the middle of your screen and arranges its directly connected nodes as satellites in an orbit around it. This lets you concentrate on one area of your graph while keeping related context visible.
When you first open Radial Focus, Beatrice automatically selects the most recently created node as the starting center. You can tap any satellite node to make it the new center — effectively drilling deeper into that topic.
Tap any satellite node to make it the new center. The previous center becomes a satellite of the new one (if they're connected). This lets you traverse your graph naturally, following connections from one idea to the next.
The breadcrumb trail updates with each step, so you can always backtrack to where you started. Think of it like zooming in on a map — but for ideas.
Start with a research topic and explore all related papers, notes, and concepts one layer at a time. Follow the connections that matter.
Before writing an article or essay, use Radial Focus to gather all related notes, quotes, and references around your central thesis.
Revisit an old idea and see everything that's connected to it. Radial Focus reveals what you've linked since you last visited.
Build a learning path by following connections from fundamentals to advanced topics. Each satellite becomes your next study target.
