Second
Inspired by CODE + PARA

Keep what matters. Find it when you need it.

Save links, notes, and reference material in one workspace. Organize them into Projects, Areas, and Resources, then find them through search or ask questions with links back to your sources.

Press ⌘K in the web app

Projects
Short-term efforts with a goal and a deadline.
Areas
Long-term responsibilities you maintain over time.
Resources
Topics and interests you are learning about.
Archive
Inactive items from the other three categories.
Save links, notes, and files
Save links and notes in the web app, capture pages and selections with Chrome, or import files on Mac. New captures go to Inbox unless you choose a destination. Extraction and indexing continue in the background.
Web and Mac today
Use Second in your browser or download the Apple silicon Mac app for a local library and optional account sync. The iPhone and iPad companion is in preparation for App Store distribution.
Suggestions, not auto-filing
Review your Inbox with filing suggestions from your rules and AI. See the reasoning, accept a suggestion, or choose a different Project, Area, or Resource yourself.
Ask your Second
Ask questions about saved knowledge with source citations. Turn Search results into a chat or a saved Brief with pinned source revisions, and personalize answers with an optional AI Profile.
Keyboard-first
Open the web command palette with ⌘K, navigate with G shortcuts, and triage with J/K. Undo supported organization actions; permanent deletion is separate.
Archive, restore, or delete
Keep inactive knowledge searchable and restorable in Archive. Permanently delete items when you choose, or export your library as Markdown and retained original files.
A weekly review of your work
Review your Inbox, revisit stale projects, and complete finished work. Enable a weekly email digest for a recap of your captures, organization activity, and outstanding work.
Goals, not folders
Projects carry a goal and a deadline — the true test of a project. Second nudges you when a “project” is really an area in disguise.
