The Network is Growing

—

independent minds currently rooting their identity.

What is YGGDRA?

Map your mind.
Own your data.

YGGDRA is a desktop application that helps you build a living knowledge tree of your own life — and then lets an AI explore it with you.

Interactive Visual Mapping

Build an interactive tree of your life — psychology, work, family, childhood, health, and more. Every node is yours to explore.

Integrated AI "Gardener"

An AI that reads your tree and asks the right questions. Deep dives into any node. Synthesizes patterns across your whole life. Uses your own API key — no data leaves your machine.

Absolute Privacy

Everything is stored locally on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry. Your inner world belongs to you alone.

Before You Submit

Submission Guidelines

What makes a great Gardener's Library prompt?

  1. 1

    Original work or properly attributed frameworks

    Prompts must be your original work, or based on established psychological frameworks with proper attribution (e.g., "Based on the ACT framework by Hayes et al."). Any referenced framework must be either your own original creation or a framework with a license that permits free distribution (e.g. Creative Commons, MIT, public domain). Simply naming a framework is not sufficient — the framework itself must be freely usable.

  2. 2

    Clear AI instructions for analyzing user data

    Should include clear instructions for the AI on how to analyze the user's data — what to look for, what questions to ask, and what insights to surface.

  3. 3

    Written in English

    Must be written in English. If you are not fluent in English, write your prompt in your native language and translate it using AI before submitting.

  4. 4

    External links are allowed as extras only

    You may include one link to your personal website or author profile at the end of the prompt, so users can learn more about you. All other promotional or affiliate links are not permitted. Links to paid resources must not block prompt completion — users must be able to go through the entire prompt without purchasing anything. The prompt must deliver value on its own; it should not redirect users to third-party services to complete a test or exercise that is core to the prompt.

  5. 5

    Represent your expertise honestly

    Accurately reflect your background, experience, and any credentials or degrees. Do not misrepresent qualifications.

  6. 6

    No harmful content

    Prompts that encourage illegal activity, actions harmful to the user, or content that is demonstrably anti-scientific and potentially dangerous to health or safety are strictly prohibited.

  7. 7

    Disclaimer required for non-scientific methodologies

    Prompts based on methodologies that are not scientifically recognized — such as astrology, tarot, numerology, palmistry, or other esoteric and mystical practices — must include a clear disclaimer stating that the methodology is not scientifically validated and should be understood as a metaphorical, symbolic, or alternative way of self-reflection, not as empirical fact.

  8. 8

    Emotional safety note required for sensitive topics

    If your prompt explores emotionally sensitive areas — such as trauma, grief, childhood experiences, mental health, loss, or difficult relationships — it must open with a brief note acknowledging that the content may bring up strong emotions. This note must recommend that the user pause and return later if they feel overwhelmed, and seek professional support if they are experiencing a mental health crisis. This is a requirement, not optional.

Common Questions

Privacy & data, explained

Where is my data stored?
Locally, on your device. The desktop app stores your tree, conversations, and embeddings in a local database. The browser version uses your browser's local storage (IndexedDB). YGGDRA's servers never see your reflections — only anonymous, opt-in usage counters (sessions started, nodes opened) that you can disable.
Will my data sync between devices?
Not yet. Each device — and each browser on the same device — has its own local copy. If you want to move your tree, use the Export feature in Settings to save a JSON file, then Import on the other device. End-to-end-encrypted sync is on the roadmap.
What if I clear my browser data?
Your YGGDRA tree will be deleted. The browser version is fully local, which means full privacy but also full responsibility — clearing site data wipes everything. Export your data periodically as a backup. Installing the PWA (the "Install" prompt in your browser) makes the storage persistent and far less likely to be cleared accidentally.
Try in browser vs. download desktop — which should I pick?
Try in browser is the fastest path — one click, no install. Ideal for trying YGGDRA out, working from multiple devices, or if you're on Windows where unsigned installers trigger SmartScreen warnings.

Desktop is best if you want OS-level keychain security for your API keys, true offline use, and a standalone app icon outside the browser. Both versions share the same features and identical local-first storage philosophy.
Windows shows a security warning. Is YGGDRA safe?
Yes. The warning ("Windows protected your PC") appears for any new app that hasn't yet accumulated download reputation with Microsoft SmartScreen — it's not specific to YGGDRA and is independent of whether the code is safe. To proceed, click More info at the top of the warning, then Run anyway. If you'd rather avoid it entirely, use the "Try in browser" option above — no installer, no warning.
