Neurite is an open-source JavaScript/AI workspace for fractal-based mind-mapping and multi-agent graphs, with local AI integration and Zettelkasten-style memory. It emphasizes a fractal Mandelbrot-based UI, bi-directional sync between mind maps and notes, and an exposed Neural API.

What it is
Neurite is an open-source project described as Fractal Graph-of-Thought, enabling rhizomatic mind-mapping for AI agents, web-links, notes, and code. It includes a multi-agent UI, FractalGPT features, synchronized knowledge management, and a Neural API for executing functions within the fractal environment. The latest releases include Neurite Desktop, a frontend built with Vite, and Localhost servers for Neurite.
How it works
The project combines fractal navigation (real-time fractal zoom and customization of Mandelbrot-related visuals) with a mind-mapping paradigm where nodes can represent text, images, videos, code, and AI agents. It supports:
- AI node networks for collaborative communication via graph-based conversations
- FractalGPT with structured memory mapping and non-linear memory access
- Bi-directional synchronization between the fractal mind-map workspace and Zettelkasten-text notes
- Local AI integration via Ollama or custom endpoints
- Vector embeddings for memory databases and context for AI systems
- External knowledge integration (Wolfram Alpha, Wikipedia) and web/PDF retrieval using a local vector store
It includes a Neural API to run Neurite functions and a built-in terminal to execute actions.
Getting started
The README emphasizes embedded content support and drag-and-drop or paste of local files and web content into the fractal. It provides controls for navigation, node creation, and fractal control shortcuts, plus a note about Zettelkasten Settings to customize tags and references. The latest releases indicate desktop and frontend components released in 2025, with localhost servers as of 2025-04-12.
