What it is

KnotenWerk keeps the interface intentionally calm: no clutter, just nodes, labels, and paths. It is local-first by default, so graphs are stored as JSON files you own and can move anywhere.

Features

Edit Mode

Create nodes, connect labeled choices, and rearrange branches without losing structure.

View/Demo Mode

Click choices as a user would and highlight the active path while presenting or testing.

Exports

Export graphs to JSON, SVG, and Markdown to plug directly into docs and workflows.

Local-first

Each graph is saved as JSON on your machine, so your files stay portable and under your control.

Apple Silicon

Even if it looks like Windows 98 SE, KnotenWerk currently runs on Apple Silicon Macs.

Exports

Share the same graph in machine, visual, and documentation formats.
