Organising with Spaces
What is a space?
A space is a contextual filter — a way of saying “show me only the notes relevant to this context.” Think of it like a coloured lens over your graph, not a separate room.
This is different from how tools like Obsidian use vaults. In Obsidian, switching vaults means switching to a completely separate set of files. In Relinkia, your graph is always unified. Spaces just change what you see — they don't break connections.
Isolated vaults
Separate files. Ideas from “work” can't connect to ideas from “personal”. The AI can't see across the boundary.
Spaces in Relinkia
One unified graph. Spaces filter the view. A note can belong to multiple spaces. Connections cross boundaries.
Creating a space
Spaces are created from the sidebar. Give it a name that reflects a context, not a category — “Research 2026”, “Client X”, “Book project” work better than “Ideas” or “Miscellaneous”.
Open the sidebar and click the + next to Spaces.
Name your space and choose a colour if you like.
The space is active — you can now assign notes to it.
Assigning notes to a space
Open any note and set its space from the note properties panel on the right. A note can belong to more than one space — a literature note on “decision fatigue” might belong to both “Research” and “Client X”.
Don't over-assign. If you find yourself spending time deciding which space a note belongs to, the space is probably too broad. Spaces work best when they map to real contexts you switch between — not to topics.
Connections across spaces
One of Relinkia's most useful capabilities: the AI can surface connections between notes from different spaces. An insight from your personal reading might be exactly what a client project needs — and Relinkia can see that, even across space boundaries.
When the graph is visible, you can filter by space to focus — or remove all filters to see the full picture. Both views are useful at different moments.
