Your whole library, drawn as a single tree. It stands at the foot of Home - a quiet measure of how much you've grown and how connected it all is. The same tree appears on your user card in Settings ▸ User.
It grows with you
The tree's size tracks your note count - a handful of notes is a sapling, a full library a broad, mature crown. Flanking it, two columns of figures take the measure of your library:
- Nodes - how many notes you have.
- Words - the total across your notes and PDFs.
- Connections - every tag on every note, counted once each. A note carrying three tags is three connections.
- Tags - how many you've made.
- Joined - the day you started.
- Refreshed - how long since you last re-catalogued.
Unlocking trees
You start with the Verdant Oak. The rest unlock as your library connects up - each tag you put on a note is one connection, the same figure shown on the placard. As they add up, new trees open:
| Tree | Unlocks at |
|---|---|
| Verdant Oak | from the start |
| Cherry Blossom | 50 connections |
| Autumn Maple | 150 connections |
| Jade Magnolia | 400 connections |
| Ember Maple | 800 connections |
| Golden Willow | 1,500 connections |
The Golden Willow is the last and highest of them. Pick and equip a tree in Settings ▸ Collectibles ▸ Your Tree - locked trees are greyed, with what they need spelled out beneath. (Connections grow as ideas link up, so the more you tag, the more there is to unlock.)
A snapshot, on purpose
The figures and the tree's size are a frozen snapshot. Home never scans your library on its own - a revisit just shows the last numbers you saw, so opening it is always instant. Until your first re-catalog, that means bare ground and every count at zero. When you want fresh figures, tap re-catalog. The tree regrows, the numerals roll, and faint amber +N badges appear beside whatever grew - a stat that shrank shows a grey -N instead.
A living scene
The sky behind the tree follows the time of day: a sun overhead by day, the moon and a scatter of stars after dark, with fireflies drifting through the night. Open Home in the morning and again at night, and your garden keeps the same hours you do.
On your desktop
The tree is also a widget, in small, medium and large. Right-click the desktop, choose Edit Widgets and add Your Tree from Nodes. It's the same tree Home draws, under the sky of the hour. Only the sky moves on its own - the tree grows when you tap re-catalog and switches when you pick another one.
