Inspired by CODE + PARA

Second, at the speed of thought

Capture anything from the web, your terminal, or your browser in seconds. Triage into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archive with AI suggestions. Find it again through search, source-backed chats, and Briefs.

Start capturing Sign in

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.

Capture everywhere

Save URLs, Markdown, selected text, and supported files from the web, Mac, browser extension, or CLI. Captures land in Inbox while content extraction and indexing run in the background.

Mac workspace, iOS companion

Work with a local library on Mac. The iOS companion adds a share sheet, widget, Shortcuts, and a durable offline capture queue; connected library and AI features need a network. Distribution varies by platform.

Suggestions, not auto-filing

Captures land in your Inbox untouched. At triage time, your rules and AI suggest the right PARA home — with reasoning you can accept in one keystroke.

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 5-minute weekly review

A guided sweep keeps the system honest: triage the Inbox, nudge stale projects, complete finished ones, revive what matters. A Sunday email digest recaps the week if you'd rather start in email.

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.

Capture and Organize at machine speed

The first two steps of CODE — Capture, Organize — are where systems fall apart. Second makes them effortless: capture in seconds, organize with one-keystroke suggestions. Your time goes to Distill and Express.
