ZupaBrain — your AI-powered second brain ZupaBrain is your personal knowledge assistant: an AI chat that automatically maintains, links, and organizes your Obsidian-compatible notes — whether you start a fresh vault or connect an existing one. What you get: • AI chat that understands your notes — just tell it what to remember, it creates notes, links them meaningfully, and files them into your folder structure • Dictation — speak instead of typing, right in the chat • Live-preview Markdown editor — notes format themselves as you type, just like in Obsidian • Interactive Orbit graph view — see every connection between your notes at a glance, color-coded by topic area • Todos collected straight from your notes, neatly grouped by area • Calendar integration — create your own events, connect iCloud calendars, let the AI (if you choose) add events automatically • Editable AI configuration — decide for yourself how your assistant handles your notes • Siri Shortcuts — start dictation or create a new todo with a voice command • Automatic cloud sync of your vault (optional add-on subscription "ZupaBrain Orbit") Ideas, projects, appointments, or just a clearer head — ZupaBrain grows with you, staying fully on Markdown and the Obsidian standard, with no lock-in.
