Second Brain

Raw notes are easy to make and hard to find later. The Second Brain layer is what turns a growing pile of captured content into something a person or an assistant can navigate on purpose — databases with shape, an inbox that catches everything, and relationships between ideas that hold up over time.

For where each part lives in the dashboard, see the Dashboard overview.

Databases with shape

Your cache ships with purpose-built databases: Tasks, People, Decisions, Meeting Notes, Learnings, Projects, Goals and OKRs, Resources — and you can add your own. Each database has typed columns (text, number, single or multi-select, date, relations to other rows), so content behaves predictably every time.

A Task isn't a sticky note. It has a status, an owner, a due date, and a link to the project it belongs to. Your assistant can filter it, sort it, and reason about it the same way you would in a spreadsheet — without you rebuilding the spreadsheet.

An inbox that catches everything

Every cache has an Inbox, and it's the first stop for anything new. A half-formed idea, a link from a colleague, a forwarded email, a voice memo transcript — all of it lands here as unprocessed until you decide what it is.

From the Inbox, file each item into the right database yourself or hand it off to Inbox Triage, a built-in blueprint that reads each item, picks the right destination, and moves it for you. Either way, captures stop being a graveyard of one-liners scattered across the cache.

Every row is a full chunk

Rows in a database aren't opaque table cells. Each one is a full chunk with its own body text underneath the structured fields — so a Task row can carry status, priority, and due date and hold the running commentary of what you've tried, what's blocked, and what you decided not to do.

That duality is what makes the same content usable in two modes at once: a filterable list when you want the dashboard view, a searchable body when you want context.

Access from your assistants

The same structure is available wherever you connect ContextCache through MCP — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, and other supported clients. An assistant can read entries, run search, move chunks between databases, and follow links within the permissions you grant it.

For setup, see MCP Server.
