GithubCircuit
A technical, engineer-friendly Obsidian theme inspired by circuit boards, signal paths, electronic systems, and connected information.
Circuit turns your vault into a living information system — where notes become modules, links become connections, and knowledge flows like signals through a network.
Designed for engineers, developers, researchers, students, makers, and technical thinkers who work with complex information and interconnected ideas.

- 🧠 Knowledge Management
Circuit is not limited to engineering. It is designed for anyone who thinks in systems, structures, connections, processes, and information flows.
Design Philosophy
Circuit is built around the idea that a knowledge vault behaves like an electronic system.
- Notes become modules.
- Links become signal paths.
- Tags become identifiers.
- Properties become system metadata.
- Tasks become processes.
- Graph View becomes the circuit network.
- Code becomes the technical layer.
- Canvas becomes the system board.
The goal is not to make Obsidian look like a literal circuit board.
Instead, Circuit uses the visual language of technology to make information feel connected, structured, and alive.
Typography
- Body: Inter
- Headings: Space Grotesk
- Code: JetBrains Mono
Typography is designed to feel technical, modern, and highly readable without becoming overly futuristic.
