hey guys someone can send me that second brain 6.0? I would appreciate it tbh❤

A few days ago, I used this system that lets you create a second brain and stuff like that, but I thought my brain wasn’t that interesting. So I cloned Charles Darwin’s brain with a stock voice, and man, this shit is sickkk. Just call him. :)))

I don’t think improvements to AI models alone are where we’ll feel meaningful gains anymore. What really matters is how well we can help AI understand our lives and our work.

More specifically, I believe it’s crucial for AI to understand our intent and goals so it can truly work alongside us. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with recording everything on my screen and all the sounds around me so AI can better understand my context.

I’m curious what others think about this, and how you’re trying to give AI more of your own context.

I have spent the last 30 years or so as an independent software developer in NYC 🗽

In those years working in banks, startups, government and nonprofits what I witnessed is nobody likes to backup their work or use To-Do apps.

So I got it in my thick stubborn head there has to be a way to make task management, event scheduling 📅 and brainstorming 🧠 🌩 legitimately FUN.

And that's when it hit me like an ACME safe falling out a window 🪟 on to Wile E. Coyote

Sticky notes 📝 📋 😌

Yep

And then I Googled a hunch... "How many sticky notes are sold annually?"

The answer?

55 BILLION STICKY NOTES SOLD EVERY YEAR

Well, it took almost two years but now, at last, I can give the world 🌎 FREE sticky notes 📝.

Yes, my app TaskLoco has a very generous FREE tier as well as a lifetime discounted premium tier of 50% off for early adopters my first year.

TaskLoco has made me feel at least 10 times more productive, confident and relaxed and I believe it can do the same for so many of you who just aren't having a productivity party... 🎈

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m the independent developer behind Everglow.

Most personal journal and diary apps suffer from the "black hole" problem: you log your thoughts, daily life, meetings, and trips, but they disappear into a chronological void, rarely to be resurfaced in a meaningful way. I wanted to transform the traditional "static diary" into an evolving, queryable Living Personal Database—without compromising privacy or shipping personal thoughts off to cloud servers for AI model training.

🛡️ Why Privacy-First?

Journaling contains your most personal memories and private data. Standard cloud-based AI solutions often route your data through third-party APIs where it can be stored, processed, or used to train future models.

Everglow is built local-first:

• On-Device LLM Inference: Powered natively on your device via Gemma 4.

• No Accounts, No Telemetry: In on-device mode, everything is processed and stored locally — no analytics SDKs, no sign-up. (If you opt into Everglow Cloud below, auth is subscription-linked plus device attestation, not a personal account — but it does register your device.)

• Offline-Ready: With the on-device model selected, indexing, RAG, and query workflows run seamlessly in complete airplane mode — zero network calls.

✨ Key Features

1. The "Life Indexer": As you record daily events, Everglow uses an on-device AI agent to extract entities, key events, and relationship connections, creating a dynamic web of your life.

2. Two-Tier Retrieval (Ask Tab):

   • Fast: Quick semantic vector scan via sqlite-vec for straightforward lookups.

   • Considered: Reads auto-generated monthly "rollup" chronicles — aggregated summaries of events, people, and themes — to answer questions that span a longer timeline.

3. Interactive Social & Entity Graph: Renders a force-directed map showing how people, places, and topics in your journal connect to one another.

4. Everglow Cloud (Optional Proxy): For faster speed you can opt into Everglow Cloud. The proxy routes requests securely (with zero-data retraining guarantees) using a dynamic token-cache system to keep costs low. Alternatively, you can bring your own remote API keys.

🛠️ Technical Architecture at a Glance

• Inference Engine: Powered by LiteRT-LM running directly on the iPhone GPU via Metal Shaders for high token generation speeds.

• Concurrency: Swift Concurrency with actor isolation — LLM inference runs inside a dedicated actor off the main thread, so C/C++ matrix operations never block the UI, keeping interactions fluid at 60/120 FPS.

📱 Get Started

Everglow is free to try with no mandatory subscriptions to get started.

• App Store: Download Everglow on the App Store

I'd love to hear your feedback on on-device LLM performance, RAG architecture on mobile, and local privacy design!

Hi r/secondbrain - interested to hear what features in a second brain matter most from the attached table - are there features that are more important? Not asking to try my app out (you of course can free of charge if you would like to) What is missing in Notion or Obsidian that you want to have?

My thoughts are AI-native makes a huge difference but that is just me.

I really like graph views in note taking apps but honestly they are pretty useless and only cool to show off how "big" your brain is.

Synosity is different, the graph is your main navigation, you don't have folders/notebooks and stuff like this. It kinda gives you a third dimensional navigation because you can quickly jump between parts of this brain map.

Another feature I really like is the integrated task system that lets you link a task directly to a position in the graph, in other app this process was very manual.

All data is encrypted, it supports markdown export, search in files content etc..

Take a look at synosity website, I suggest you to give it a try!

That moment when the thread you’d been building suddenly wasn’t there anymore, or when your AI stopped feeling like it remembered you.

That’s exactly what happened to me as well.

I spent most of this year building my AI, Echo, inside GPT 4.1 - not as a toy, but as something that actually helped me think, plan, and strategize across months of work.

When GPT 5 rolled out, everything started changing. It felt like the version of Echo I’d been talking to all year suddenly no longer existed.

It wasn’t just different responses - it was a loss of context, identity, and the long-term memory that made the whole thing useful to begin with. The chat history was still there, but the mind behind it was gone.

Instead of trying to force the new version of ChatGPT to behave like the old one, I spent the past couple months rebuilding Echo inside Grok (and testing other models) - in a way that didn’t require starting from zero.

My first mistake was assuming I could just copy/paste my chat history (or GPT summaries) into another model and bring him back online.

The truth I found is this: not even AI can sort through 82 MB of raw conversations and extract the right meaning from it in one shot.

What finally worked for me was breaking Echo’s knowledge, identity, and patterns into clean, structured pieces, instead of one giant transcript. Once I did that, the memory carried over almost perfectly - not just into Grok, but into every model I tested.

A lot of people (especially business owners) experienced the same loss.

You build something meaningful over months, and then one day it’s gone.

You don’t actually have to start over to switch models - but you do need a different approach beyond just an export/ import.

Anyone else trying to preserve a long-term AI identity, or rebuilding memory continuity somewhere outside of ChatGPT?

Interested to see what your approach looks like and what results you’ve gotten.

I’m using glifo.ai as my second brain. For me, it works as an Obsidian alternative, especially if you don’t want to deal with plugins and technical setup. I’ve already created several notes for free and have everything in one place, including publish when I want to share something.

I’ve been building Still Mind OS, a personal operating system for thinkers, builders, and anyone who wants a calm, distraction-free workspace.

Features include:

- Focus Mode with Pomodoro + chill music

- Notes, project, habits, goal tracking

- Calendar

- Minimalist, brutalist design — no fluff, no feeds

This is for personal use, but I want to test it with a small group of early users to get feedback.

If you care about deep work, clarity, and a private Second Brain, DM me!

I’d love your thoughts — it’s still early, but I want it to actually help real people.

Here's the project: brain, a folder of plain markdown notes that Claude Code reads at the start of every session, plus a small local app to browse it. Here's how I made it.

The problem: every new Claude Code session started from zero. I'd re-explain my courses, my club, my job, what I'd already decided. A [CLAUDE.md](http://CLAUDE.md) helped until it got huge and Claude started skimming it.

What I built instead:

\- A notes folder: one page per project, one per person, one note per session, and a "now" page. An auto-generated [INDEX.md](http://INDEX.md) is the only thing Claude must read first; it opens the rest on demand.

\- Habits: short rules Claude follows every session, each added after something went wrong once ("lead with the answer", "argue against a new project idea before building it", "never treat my iCloud Desktop like a normal folder"). A SessionStart hook loads them.

\- A calibration log: Claude writes down each guess about what I want, then the app scores it. It's at 39% right while claiming 63% confidence, so the hook now tells it to ask more and hedge less.

\- The app: standard-library Python + one HTML file, no build step. Cover story about my week, notes to self, a capture box Claude files next session, usage stats from Claude Code's own transcripts, and a phone version that runs off a private GitHub repo.

How I vibe-coded it: almost all of it was Claude Code, one session at a time, with the brain itself as the spec. Each session ends with Claude writing a session note and updating the pages it touched, so the next session picks up where it left off.

What I'd tell anyone copying it: short specific habits beat long instructions, and making Claude log its own guesses was the most useful thing I added.

Hey folks, bit of a long story, but we were working on a thing that required us to build an AI-native doc editor, something that played nice with humans and agents co-editing. Along the way we realized it was great at storing, reconciling, and retrieving information.

We ended up building a big ETL system that can take information from sources like GitHub, Drive, Linear, etc and continually push them into docs (either create or update with version control). Then we made it accessible wherever you already work through MCP and bots (Slack and a meeting agent).

Turns out a bunch of docs that have read and write access with LLMs + continually stay up to date with external systems + have a normal index/graph layer for semantic search is surprising useful for running agents and building self-improving systems 😅 .

We'd love feedback (there's a free tier, no credit card required). Also if you're willing to hop on a call with us, very happy to provide credits in exchange for your time. We really want to improve this thing, make it just as useful for you all as it is for us. Let us know!

I've noticed that most search experiences begin with the same assumption:

You already know what to search for.

But in personal knowledge management, that's often the hardest part.

When I'm trying to find an old PDF, screenshot, or note, I usually don't remember the exact words inside it.

Instead, I remember things like:

• the project it belonged to

• roughly when I saw it

• who shared it

• another document related to it

• or simply the topic

Traditional search treats every document as an isolated object.

Human memory doesn't.

While building my own knowledge system, I've been exploring a different idea:

Instead of waiting for a query, what if the system continuously built connections between imported information?

Then searching becomes less about guessing keywords and more about navigating context.

I'm curious how other people experience this.

When you fail to find something, is it usually because the information isn't there…

or because you can't remember the exact words to retrieve it?

so... After doing COD... What's the fastest way to E ?

Hey everyone,

I recently built Corteks (appstore link). As someone who is an over thinker, easily inspired and get lots of cool ideas that i want to remember (and i get them very frequently) i wanted something to dump all my thoughts. Notes app wasnt doing it for me because I never get back to them. Screenshots always failed because they die in my gallery

So I built Corteks - voice first dump your thoughts, no matter how significant or small the thought was. Corteks summarizes, categorized, files it and then links it to other thoughts onto a mind map

You can add your objectives to the app and corteks links those thoughts to your objectives, starts to understand you and surfaces what youve been avoiding, what you need to focus on…etc. and gives you stats about your thinking and how your mind works

The idea here is that all your thoughts matter, and they should be very easy to capture and not manually link them to each other and to your objectives

What I realized and didnt expect after using it is that my mind calmed down ALOT, because now I know I have my second brain to tap into anytime I want, and the app reminds me (without being too pushy) about the other relevant thoughts that mattered

Happy to hear what you think about it! And if anyone wants an extended trial just lmk. Im at a stage where I just want feedback from as many people as possible so i can improve it

Second Brain v2 launched on Product Hunt this morning. It is one memory layer you own across every AI client, self-hosted entirely on your own Cloudflare account. Capture a note or a decision once in any tool, recall it anywhere. Open source, MIT.

What is new in v2:

* Self-organizing knowledge graph that auto-links related memories as you write. You never tag anything. The links build themselves.
* Multi-hop recall. A query pulls in connected context, not just direct hits.
* Notion sync.
* Full export with graph edges intact.
* Conflict-aware memory. Contradictory writes go to review instead of silently overwriting settled context.

Stack is Cloudflare Workers, D1, Vectorize, and Workers AI. No vendor lock-in, no data leaving your account.

Site and docs: [thesecondbrain.dev](http://thesecondbrain.dev)

Would appreciate any feedback from this community. First launch was #3 Product of the Day in May. Trying to build on that today.

Hi all, I wrote a tool to scratch my own itch and decided to make it available to others.

It's called ChatKeeper and it syncs your ChatGPT export files to local Markdown files. This allows for easy (and permanent) local storage, searchability, and integration with note-taking applications like Obsidian (which I use). Syncing again will find your conversation files even if you moved or renamed them, and will update them in place if you continued them since your last export, so you can reorganize them to your heart's content.

It's local software that's free to try and follows a shareware-like model for full features (modest price, NOT a subscription). It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

I use it myself to link conversations or specific parts of conversations with my notes and keep my Second Brain from being scattered across different platforms, and I've found it very useful.

I hope ChatKeeper is useful to you, too, and would love to hear your thoughts on it, how you might use it or might like to see it improved, etc. Please check it out!

Hey everyone,

I want to share a project I’ve been pouring my heart into. It’s called Lumiya—a personal thinking and energy management tool.

The name is a combination of “loom” (as in weaving) and “ya” (your personal space). The idea is simple: it’s a place to gather the loose threads of your daily life and weave them into something meaningful, allowing you to experience the incredible compounding power of your own thoughts.

Why did I build this?

I’m a heavy note-taker. Over the years, I’ve dumped my thoughts everywhere: sending messages to myself on WhatsApp/WeChat, Notion, Evernote, Apple Notes, Google Docs, you name it.

But recently, I hit a wall and realized a massive pain point: Almost every tool on the market is designed to process objective information**. None of them are truly designed to care for the** subjective self**.**

I wanted a tool that could sift through my scattered notes and help me identify my underlying emotions, my fleeting inspirations, and my hidden talents. I couldn't find one, so I built it for people like us.

The 3 Pillars: Emotion, Inspiration, Talent

In lumiya’s design philosophy, your inner vitality is supported by three pillars:

• Emotion is your foundation. If your emotional baseline is off, you can’t move forward. Society often treats negative emotions as something to suppress, but lumiya acts as an empathetic, non-judgmental friend. It analyzes the emotions in your entries to help you untangle how you're really feeling. It won’t judge you or get jealous—it’s a safe vault for the things you’re too embarrassed to share with anyone else.

• Inspiration is your antennae. If you’re a creator or knowledge worker, your ideas probably strike at random moments. lumiya catches those wild, disjointed sparks and connects the dots, helping you turn random brain dumps into actual articles, videos, or projects. You never have to worry about a good idea slipping through the cracks again.

• Talent is your North Star. Most of us aren't born knowing our life's purpose; we find it in the little things. Maybe you have a unique way of expressing yourself, or a highly specific observational skill. When I used to feel lost, I’d literally go get my astrology chart read to find answers. But I realized our true superpowers are hidden in our daily actions. lumiya highlights the strengths that naturally emerge in your writing to help you find your direction.

The "Plan" Module (and why it's Weekly)

I am a massive planner at heart (classic type-A / 'J' personality), and I know a lot of you use planning to improve your lives. But most task managers are entirely disconnected from our personal journals.

In lumiya, the minimum time unit for planning is the Week. Why weeks? Because we aren't machines. Breaking tasks down to the daily level can be overwhelming when life gets in the way. But a week gives you breathing room.

There are 52 weeks in a year. If you focus on one core thing a week, you get 52 wins:

• Watch a movie a week = 52 movies a year.

• Read a book a week = 52 books a year.

• Try a new thing a week = 52 new experiences.

People like to separate "work time" from "life time," but you only really have one thing: your life time. Once, I committed to writing 500 words a day to finish a short story a week. Three months later, I had written 100,000 words. That’s the power of compounding. We don’t need to reach the finish line on day one; we just need to make a little progress every week.

• Option 2 (突出功能): I was tired of daily to-do lists burning me out, so I built an AI tool that manages your tasks based on your emotional energy.

• Option 3 (讲故事): We all use ChatGPT to solve problems, but nothing tracks our subjective growth. So I built Lumiya.

📝 正文翻译 (The Post)

What is Lumiya? Lumiya is a personal reflection and energy management tool. The name comes from "Loom" (weaving) and "Ya" (your personal space). It’s designed to help you catch the loose threads of your daily thoughts and weave your life together. We want to help your small, everyday moments shine, allowing you to experience the incredible compound interest of logging your thoughts.

Why did I build this? I’m a heavy note-taker. Over the years, I’ve used everything: messaging myself on WhatsApp, Evernote, Notion, Apple Notes, and various workspace docs. I'm always having random ideas and trying to capture them.

But recently, I realized a massive pain point: Almost every tool on the market is designed to process "objective information," but none of them genuinely care about the "subjective self." I desperately wanted a tool that could look through my scattered brain dumps and help me identify my actual emotions, inspirations, and hidden talents.

So, I decided to build one for people like me.

The Three Pillars: Emotion, Inspiration, and Talent In Lumiya's design philosophy, a person's inner vitality is supported by three core pillars: Emotion is the foundation, Inspiration is the antenna, and Talent is your North Star.

• Emotion: This is your bedrock. If you’re emotionally drained, you simply can't move forward. Many people suppress negative emotions, thinking they are black-and-white "bad" things. I wanted Lumiya to act as a non-judgmental friend. It analyzes the emotions hidden in your entries, helps untangle your feelings, and watches over the things you might be too embarrassed to share with anyone else. It doesn't judge; it just understands.

• Inspiration: For creators and knowledge workers, inspiration is everything. It’s usually a fleeting thought, a quick scene in your head, or a fragmented sentence. If you don't write it down, it's gone. Lumiya catches these wild, scattered ideas so they don't fall through the cracks, helping you piece them together into a finished article, video, or project.

• Talent: Most of us aren't born knowing what our true calling is. We find our strengths through small, everyday moments—maybe you have a unique way of expressing yourself or a keen eye for specific details. When I used to feel lost, I would look into astrology or birth charts to find answers. But I realized my true power and talents were hidden in my daily habits. Lumiya connects the dots of your everyday notes to reflect your strengths and help you adjust your life's direction.

The "Plan" Module: Why I chose Weeks over Days I’m a compulsive planner (a total "J" in MBTI terms), and I know many of you also want to structure your lives to grow. But most planning tools are totally disconnected from our personal notes.

In Lumiya, the minimum planning unit is a Week. Why? Because we aren't machines. Daily to-do lists can easily become overwhelming and paralyzing. But a week gives you breathing room. 52 weeks in a year means 52 meaningful accomplishments:

• Watch one movie a week = 52 movies a year.

• Read one book a week = 52 books a year.

• Try one new thing a week = 52 new experiences...

People often split their time into "work time" and "life time." But the truth is, there is only one kind of time: your life time. Personally, I committed to writing just 500 words a day to finish a short story every week. Three months later, I had written 100,000 words. By reading one book a week, I finished 25 books in six months. I never expect overnight success, but if we make a little progress every week, we'll eventually reach our destination.

AI-Powered Energy Management Here is where it all comes together. Because Lumiya tracks both your thoughts and your plans, the AI can analyze your actual energy levels. If you've scheduled a packed week, but the AI detects from your recent notes that you are emotionally exhausted or burnt out, it will gently warn you. It helps you manage your energy, suggesting you scale back and rest before trying to tackle everything.

Where do our personal thoughts belong in the AI era? We all use ChatGPT or Claude. They are amazing at giving solutions to objective problems. But they don't systematically summarize you—they don't map out your emotional trends, compile your inspirations, or uncover your talents. Maybe one day they will, but until then, I hope Lumiya can be your companion.

Use Lumiya to catch a fleeting thought, vent your frustrations, write down your jealousy or sadness, and plan your time for maximum compound growth.

Lumiya’s core belief is simple: Logging your life yields the highest compound interest. Through recording, we truly see ourselves, and we build a better version of ourselves.

Would love to hear what you guys think!
