File-over-app · Local vault
4 · The Sanctuary

Living Mycelium

Attach your own custom domain (yourname.com). Your public notes weave organically into the algorithm-free Mycelium network with semantic Hyphe AI.

Custom domain · Hyphe AI

The web is ugly because it optimized for engagement, not beauty. Every pixel fights for your attention. Every scroll triggers an algorithm. Every click feeds a database designed to sell you something.

We reject this. Standard Garden is a protocol, not a product. Your notes are yours. The design is minimal because the content is sacred.

"Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Your notes, beautifully rendered. No dashboard. No clutter. Just write.

One-Click Obsidian Atelier

Install the official Obsidian plugin and publish notes straight from your sidebar. No cluttered dashboard needed.

Master Typography

500 years of editorial refinement by default. Gutenberg proportions and classical temperaments with zero CSS required.

Sovereign & File-over-App

Your notes stay local in pure Markdown on your machine. You remain the permanent owner of your thoughts.

Double Security Guardrail

Accidental publishing is impossible. Notes remain 100% private in your vault unless you explicitly choose to share them.

The Living Mycelium

Your public notes organically connect to an independent network through backlinks and echoes—without predatory algorithms.

Hyphe Semantic AI

An attentive AI thinker grounded solely in your published knowledge, discovering unexpected connections between ideas.

Want to keep your thoughts forever?

The ephemeral is free. Longevity is yours.

Atmospheres

Six classical temperaments. Infinite expressions.

Writing isn't one-size-fits-all. Each note can wear its own typographic atmosphere—or honor a vault-wide signature.

humanist

The Letter

Warm cream paper, soft historical serifs, and literary grace. Perfect for personal essays, poetry, and contemplative prose.

international

The Construct

Rigid Swiss modernist geometry and mathematical layout. The dignity of clean architecture and sharp manifestos.

technical

The Blueprint

Tactile engineering graph, monospace precision, and orange safety accents. Built for manuals, field guides, and code.

editorial

The Chronicle

High-contrast broadside typography, authoritative drop caps, and deep rhythm. Tailored for investigations and cultural critique.

academic

The Treatise

Scholarly sidenotes, marginal annotations, and rigorous KaTeX math. For research syntheses and intellectual work.

gallery

The Exhibit

Minimal, receded chrome with maximum spatial breathing room. Typography steps back so your visual art and photography take center stage.

Includes companion favorites: forest (botanical greens), eink (high-contrast monochrome), and 26 curated palette variations.

✨ Mirrored live in Obsidian: The official plugin embeds our typography engine directly in Obsidian. Set theme: humanist or theme: blueprint in frontmatter, and your local note adopts the exact fonts, margins, and atmospheric styling readers will see on the web.
Visual Essays

Photography treated like an exhibition, not social media content.

Social algorithms compress images into disposable vertical feeds. Standard Garden preserves authentic camera fidelity and tactile layout dignity.

  • Drop Folders or Batches: Drag a set of pictures or an entire folder of photos anywhere onto the page to create an instant gallery note titled after your folder.
  • Implicit Diptychs & Triptychs: Place image links on consecutive lines in Markdown to form justified, height-balanced gallery rows automatically.
  • Uncompressed High-Res: Full-resolution display with zero aggressive compression artifacts.
  • Fluid Lightbox: Immersive contemplation mode with smooth blurred backdrops on click.
  • Wear Your Own Mark: Set garden-brand to replace the Standard logo with your own wordmark or logo mask, or hide platform chrome completely.
