One shared memory for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, and every other AI tool you use.

You use Claude for some things, ChatGPT for others, and Cursor for code. But your context, including your projects, decisions, and preferences, does not move with you. You end up explaining yourself again and again.

Second Brain gives every AI tool access to the same persistent memory.

Unlike memory built into a single app, this memory belongs to you. It runs in your own Cloudflare account, stays under your control, and cannot be locked inside one AI platform.

The easiest way to get started is the desktop app. It sets everything up for you in about two minutes — no terminal, no accounts to wire together, no technical steps.

⬇ Download for Mac or Windows

Prefer to run it yourself? Use the one-click Deploy to Cloudflare button, or follow the manual steps. See the Quick Start for all three options.

What's new in v2.2

• Advanced Settings. Seven plain-language controls for how your Second Brain remembers and recalls — how much recent memories outrank old ones, how varied results are, how far to follow connections, how much detail comes back, how strictly duplicates are blocked, how aggressively old memories are compressed, and which AI model does the thinking. Open it with ⌘, in the desktop app. Changes apply to your next search, with no redeploy.

• Change how your memories are read. Pick a finer reading for more precise matching, and the app rebuilds your search data for you — resumable if your daily AI allowance runs out, and reversible until the final step. Your memories themselves are never touched.

• Lost your password? The unlock screen is no longer a dead end. Sign in to Cloudflare and set a new one. You can also change your password deliberately from Connections, and disconnect every AI tool in one step.

• Find a brain you already have. Setting up on a new computer? Sign in to Cloudflare and the app finds your Second Brain — identified from your account's own records, not by asking the Worker. Typing the address yourself still works exactly as before.

• Now in Italian, with native menus on Mac and Windows, and a download button in the dashboard sidebar.

What's new in v2.1

• Calendar sync. Connect Google, Outlook, or iCloud calendars from Settings → Integrations by pasting your calendar's private iCal (.ics) link — no OAuth, no developer setup. Upcoming events sync into memory and stay current, so recall knows what's on your plate; past events are kept as a bounded history.

• Email capture. Connect Gmail or iCloud with an app password from Settings → Integrations, and Second Brain captures the meaningful mail from your inbox — automatically filtering out newsletters, marketing, receipts, and other automated noise — so real correspondence surfaces in recall.

• Integrations, organized. The Integrations screen now groups connections into Knowledge, Calendars, and Email, so it stays easy to navigate as more are added. Synced items are classified like anything else you save.

What's new in v2

• Memory graph. Memories now connect to each other — automatically as you save, or explicitly with the new link and connections tools. Recall can follow those connections (the hops option) to surface related context that a plain search would miss, and the dashboard has a new Graph tab to explore your memory visually.

• Notion sync. Connect your Notion workspace from Settings → Integrations in the dashboard. Pages you share with the connection sync into memory, stay updated as they change in Notion, and surface in recall alongside everything else. Automatic hourly sync, or on demand with Sync now.

• Graceful degradation. If the Vectorize index is missing, the whole brain keeps working keyword-only: recall falls back to keyword search with a clear notice, and captures, appends and updates are still committed rather than rejected. A /health endpoint reports index status, and the dashboard shows a banner with the exact fix.

How it works

Connect Second Brain to the AI tools you already use, then save information as it comes up.

Your Second Brain runs as a single Worker in your own Cloudflare account. Every install (the desktop app, CLI, browser extension, Obsidian, and each AI client) is a client pointed at that one Worker. There is nothing to sync between devices; they all read and write the same memory.

Second Brain retrieves memories by meaning rather than exact wording. Asking:

What did I decide about the pricing model?

can surface the correct memory even when the original note used completely different words.

Memory tools

| Tool | What it does | | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | remember | Store ideas, decisions, preferences, and project context | | append | Add an update to an existing memory | | update | Replace an existing memory | | recall | Find memories by meaning rather than exact wording | | list_recent | Browse recently saved memories | | forget | Permanently delete a memory |

Save from anywhere

Memory is most useful when capturing information is easy. Second Brain connects to the tools and moments where context already exists.

• AI clients: Use remember directly within Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP clients.

• Command line: Run brain remember, brain recall, and other commands from your terminal.

  npm install -g second-brain-cf-cli
  

• Notion: Connect your Notion workspace from Settings → Integrations in the web dashboard. Create an internal connection in the Notion developer portal (a connection, not a personal access token — only connections appear in a page's Connections menu), share the pages you want remembered with it, and paste its secret — shared pages sync into memory automatically (hourly, or on demand with Sync now) and stay updated as they change in Notion.

• Calendar: Connect Google, Outlook, or iCloud from Settings → Integrations and paste your calendar's private iCal (.ics) link (Google: your calendar → Integrate calendar → "Secret address in iCal format"; Outlook: Calendar → Shared calendars → Publish; iCloud: Share Calendar → Public Calendar). Read-only — upcoming events sync into memory automatically (hourly, or on demand with Sync now), and past events are kept as a bounded history.

• Email: Connect Gmail or iCloud from Settings → Integrations with an app password (Google: Account → Security → App passwords; iCloud: appleid.apple.com → App-Specific Passwords). Read-only — meaningful messages are captured into memory, while newsletters, marketing, receipts, and other automated mail are filtered out.

• Obsidian: Automatically sync notes using the Second Brain Sync plugin, also available through Obsidian Community Plugins.

• Browser extension: Capture a page or highlighted text using the Chrome extension.

• iPhone and iPad: Use the Brain Dump, Text Brain Dump, and Save to Brain shortcuts in integrations/ios-shortcuts/.

• Bookmarklet: Use the lightweight bookmarklet in integrations/bookmarklet.js.

Quick Start

Pick the option that fits you. They all deploy the same Second Brain into your own Cloudflare account — the difference is only how much setup you do by hand.

Option 1 — Desktop app (recommended, no technical steps)

The lowest-friction way to get started. Download the Second Brain desktop app for Mac or Windows, open it, and it walks you through setup in about two minutes: you pick a password, sign in to (or create) a free Cloudflare account, and it builds your Second Brain in your own private space and connects your AI tools for you. After setup it becomes the app you open your dashboard with every day.

It also sets up the rest of the ecosystem from one place: one click to configure the CLI, and guided setup for the browser extension, the Obsidian plugin, and Notion. The menu bar keeps every connection and integration a click away.

Nothing to install beyond the app itself — no terminal, no git, no configuration values to copy. Developers: see installer/ for how it works and how to build it.

The Mac build is signed and notarized by Apple. The Windows build is not yet code-signed, so Windows may show a SmartScreen "unrecognized app" notice on first launch — click More info → Run anyway. (Code signing for Windows is in progress.)

Option 2 — One-click Cloudflare deploy

Prefer to deploy the Worker yourself without the app? Set it up in three steps.

1. Choose an authentication token

Your AUTH_TOKEN is the password used to access your Second Brain. It is the same value every client asks for. Whether a surface calls it your "auth token", "bearer token", or "password", they all mean this one token, sent in the Authorization: Bearer header.

Use either:

• A memorable phrase, such as coffee-lover-2026

• A randomly generated token:

  openssl rand -base64 32
  

Save this token somewhere secure. You will need it when authorizing clients and testing your deployment.

2. Deploy to Cloudflare

Click Deploy to Cloudflare and follow the prompts.

Enter the following values during setup:

| FIELD | VALUE | | ---------- | ------------------------------- | | Dimensions | 384 | | Metric | cosine | | AUTH_TOKEN | The token you created in step 1 |

Cloudflare will provision the required resources and deploy your Worker automatically.

When deployment finishes, copy your Worker URL. It will look similar to:
