Mycelium Workbench

A cockpit over a personal knowledge vault, grown out of a monitor for Claude Code sessions. Its Atlas view draws the vault as an orbital map — regions as bodies, links as orbits — which is what the icon is.

Inside the project.

Mycelium Workbench began as a monitor: tokens, cost and activity across a set of Claude Code sessions, watched and driven from one window instead of several terminal tabs. It is becoming an overview of the whole vault those sessions feed — the satellite you look down from rather than another place to type.

Its Atlas view is where that shows. The vault's regions hang as bodies in a dark field, their links traced as orbits, and a search drops you onto any of them. The orbit on the icon is that view, and the artwork itself is being redrawn as this is written.

It reads metadata only — paths, timestamps and token counts, never the content of a conversation.

This is the most in-motion thing on the index, built on daily and reshaped as often as it is extended. It is wired to its owner's own vault today, and whether it can ever be pointed at someone else's is an open question rather than a plan. Screenshots may show up here before the app does.
