Inspect and open

ObsidianMultiple local vaults, Markdown note text, tags, wiki-links, blockquotes, and backlinks.

EagleKnown local libraries, assets, tags, folder trees, library switching, and source opening.

02 / Data model

How it works

Astrolabe reads connector data into SQLite and FTS tables in a local workspace. Its folders are stored as separate metadata, so organizing an item does not rename, move, or delete the original.

The index is derived from the connected sources. Search and inspection happen in Astrolabe; open and reveal actions return to the source application or file.
