What it does

An unbounded canvas where notes, AI conversations and web pages sit side by side and connect with links, zooming into nested structure so you can move between the whole picture and the detail. AI exchanges stay on the canvas as part of the map. The authors warn that it contains flashing lights and colours that may affect people with photosensitive epilepsy. It is under active development and can be unstable; AI features need your own API key.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

Neurite FAQ

Is Neurite free?: Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.
Do I need to install anything or write code to use Neurite?: You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
Does Neurite work on a phone?: No. It needs a computer.
Can I use Neurite commercially?: The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
