An Open Learning Ground
Mycel Project is an open ecosystem for long-term learning: capture, process, and retain knowledge across all your tools.
From curiosity to knowledge
Mycel Project supports every step of learning: capture what sparks your interest, break it down to understand it, and retain it for the long run.
Grows everywhere
Built around an open API, Mycel fits wherever you think. Download Mycelium, a cross-platform app powered by Mycel, or connect Mycel directly into your favorite tools.
Open by design
Mycel and Mycelium are open-source: free to use, free to inspect, and free to shape. Self-host it and keep your data local, contribute to its development, or extend it to fit your workflow.
The Root Engine
Mycel is the foundation that standardizes the whole learning lifecycle. Wherever it runs, your knowledge spreads.
A unified workflow across tools
Import
Start by importing from various sources: web articles, videos, podcasts, ebooks, etc. Prioritize your imports based on how much each source and topic matters to you.
Fragment
Break your imports down into their most valuable insights. Shape them until every single fragment becomes an independent unit of knowledge.
Spore
Turn refined fragments into spores: standalone, active learning units. Mycel uses spaced repetition to ensure you review them right before you forget.
Bloom
Each review strengthens the knowledge itself and the connections between your ideas. Harder concepts find their footing in everything you've already built.
Mycel spreads
Follow your curiosity
Dive into as many subjects as you want. Mycel keeps every topic on track, wherever your curiosity leads.
Light to deep
From casual interest to deep learning, Mycel scales to your load to keep your practice sustainable.
Beyond memorization
Memorizing is only part of the process. Mycel provides the structure and tools to assimilate complex topics.
Tool-agnostic
Your learning data stays independent of any tool, accessible where you already are, ready for what comes next.
A shared foundation
Instead of duplicating core mechanics across isolated apps, individual efforts strengthen the entire ecosystem.
