Tentabase
Records go in
Anything a person keeps: a note, a contact, a meeting, a receipt, a link, a file. Different shapes, one store.
The graph database under Tentanote
A graph database that knows why.
Put records in and it catalogues them itself. It works out what relates to what from what they say — shared tags, the same people, words in common, a note that names another — groups what belongs together, and can tell you why.

Running in this page: fifteen made-up records, Tentanote's weights, nothing placed by hand.
How it works
Derived, not declared.
No schema to design first, no edges to draw by hand, no folders to file into. The graph is what the records already say about each other.
Edges are worked out
From what the records say: tags they share, the same list, the same spaces, words in common, a body that names another record.
Groups form on their own
What strong edges hold together becomes a group, named by what it shares. A record can relate to more than one; nothing is filed.
Every edge explains itself
It breaks back into its reasons — “Both tagged #travel”, “Both with Dana Okafor”, “Share kyoto, march” — not a score to take on trust.
Why it matters
A reason you can read beats a score you can't.
A graph database stores the edges you declared and hands you a query language. Vector search hands you a similarity with nothing behind it.
Tentabase is for what sits between: a mixed collection of things one person keeps, where someone has to trust a connection before acting on it. There, the explanation is the product.
Who it's for
Apps that hold a life, and the agents that read them.
- App developers. Personal CRMs, research and notes tools: “here's what else relates to this, and why”, without building an index and a scoring layer over SQLite yourself.
- Agents, later. The plan is to let an agent ask what relates to what and get the reasons back, from a memory that stays on the device.
- On the device. A Swift package that runs where the records are. Nothing has to leave to be connected.
- Proven under a real app. Tentanote is built on it, so it meets real lives before anyone else depends on it.
