What it does

Your knowledge, made searchable

Upload documents, paste notes, or speak aloud — Second Brain indexes everything and uses it to give you grounded, cited answers.

💬

RAG-Powered Chat

Every question searches your knowledge base first. Answers cite which files they came from so you can verify the source.

🎙️

Voice Mode

Hands-free conversation using Whisper (online), Vosk (offline), or your device's built-in speech engine. Responses are read back aloud.

📚

Knowledge Base

Ingest PDFs, Word docs, markdown, code, images, CSVs, and more. Files are chunked and embedded for semantic search.

📓

Journal

Daily entries with mood tracking and tags. Entries are automatically indexed so you can search and chat about your own history.

AI Insights

Ask for a summary of the last 30 days — recurring themes, mood patterns, and a reflection question generated from your journal entries.

📋

Chat History

Conversations are saved, searchable, and resumable. The full message thread is restored on reload so context is never lost.

Cloud or local — your choice

Switch between Anthropic's Claude models for quality and Ollama for full privacy. No vendor lock-in.

Private by default

  • Runs on your own server — no third-party cloud storage
  • Bearer token auth — no passwords sent after login
  • Uploaded files are securely wiped after indexing
  • Use Ollama to keep every query fully on-device
  • Per-user knowledge bases — data is not shared between accounts
Android app features

Built for mobile use

The app is designed for quick captures and hands-free use, not just a mobile wrapper.

📷

Image Attachment

Attach a photo to any chat message. After the reply you're prompted to save the image to your knowledge base for future reference.

📶

Offline Queue

Chat saves are queued locally when offline and synced automatically when the connection returns.

💰

Cost Estimate

Before sending to a paid model, see the estimated token count and max cost. Confirm or cancel before anything is sent.

🔔

Background Notifications

If the app is in the background when a response finishes, a notification appears so you don't have to wait with the screen on.

🗂️

Source Filtering

Narrow the context to specific files or topics before chatting. Useful when you want answers only from a particular document.

🎓

Whisper Training

Correct a misheard transcription and the original audio is saved as a training pair for future Whisper fine-tuning.
