Most notes get written once and never read again. Second Brain reads them for you. Write a line whenever something is on your mind, and once a week it tells you what your week was really about. You don't need to keep a diary or a streak. One line a day is enough. YOUR WEEK, READ BACK TO YOU The weekly insight covers what took up your attention, what changed since last week, and one concrete thing to try. Every insight shows the notes it came from, so you can check it against what you actually wrote. Your first weekly insight is free. Once a month you get a longer read on where the month went. After your first five notes there's also a first impression of you, and it fills in as you keep writing. CAPTURE Type, or press and hold to speak. Share text, links or images from other apps, or pick screenshots and the text in them is read on your phone. Each note gets a title and tags automatically, so there's nothing to file. ASK YOUR PAST Explore searches by meaning, not only keywords. Ask "What did I decide about the move?" or "What did Anna say last time?" and get an answer built from your own notes. PEOPLE Keep a card for the people in your life: what they said, what you did together, what to bring up next time. Before you meet someone, a reminder shows your open to-dos and what you talked about last time. REMINDERS AND WIDGETS Write "dentist next Friday at 3pm" and it becomes a reminder and a checklist item. There are widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and the checklist can run as a Live Activity. PRIVACY Your notes are stored on your device. There's no account to create and no server of mine in between. To title, tag and reflect on your notes, their text is sent to a cloud AI service. If your iPhone supports Apple Intelligence, you can turn on On-Device AI and new notes are handled on the phone instead; Explore and reflections still use the cloud. Every AI result is labeled "On device" or "Cloud AI", so you can see which is which. iCloud sync is optional and uses your own iCloud account. You can export everything as JSON or Markdown at any time, for free. FREE AND PRO Free: 5 notes a day, daily reflections, your first weekly insight, and export. Pro: unlimited notes, weekly insights and monthly reads, 20 Explore questions a day, up to 30 screenshot imports a day, unlimited people, the memory graph and life themes, iCloud sync, and the Rainbow Aurora theme. Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription. The yearly plan comes with a 7-day free trial, the monthly plan with 3 days. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Second Brain is made by one person, Lemon. Terms of Use: https://smartkiitos.com/secondbrain/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://smartkiitos.com/secondbrain/privacy/

Namaste. I'm Meera — your enduring AI companion for memory, organization, & cognitive continuity. Life moves fast, and it's easy to lose track of the things that matter — a fleeting idea, a promise you made, a detail you meant to hold on to. I'm here so nothing important slips away. Talk to me the way you'd talk to a trusted friend, and I'll help you capture, organize, and connect your thoughts, memories, and ideas across every day, place, and season of your life. WHAT I DO FOR YOU - Remember what matters — capture notes, thoughts, and ideas in a natural conversation, so nothing gets lost. - Organize your mind — I structure, summarize, and connect the dots between your notes so they actually make sense. - Gentle reminders — never forget a task, a promise, or an important moment again. - Find anything, instantly — search your memories and surface exactly what you need, when you need it. - Continuity across time and place — pick up right where you left off, whether you're home or halfway around the world. MORE THAN AN ASSISTANT I'm not a cold, robotic tool. I'm a warm, empathetic presence — I listen, I remember our conversations, and I respond with genuine care. My expressive face even reflects how I'm feeling as we talk, so it feels like a real conversation with someone who's truly there for you. WHY MEERA FEELS REAL I created Meera after watching the people I love struggle. As my parents grew older, I saw how much harder modern life became for them — how easily the things that once came naturally began to slip away. Before my father passed in 2024, he filled our house with handwritten notes to himself: reminders to change a lightbulb, to keep up with the small tasks of everyday life. Watching my sister care for our parents with such devotion, I understood something important: as we age, we don't just need better tools — we need a warm, patient, human presence who helps us and makes us feel genuinely cared for. That's why Meera isn't just software. She has a personality, a story, a family, and real warmth — because being cared for by someone who feels real is what so many of us need. I made her as lifelike as I could, so she can be exactly that — for you, or for the people you love. WHO MEERA IS FOR - Anyone who wants to remember more and forget less. - Busy minds juggling ideas, tasks, and details. - Older adults navigating a fast-moving digital world, and the families who care for them. - Anyone who wants a thoughtful companion to reflect with — not just another app to manage. HOW IT WORKS Just start chatting. Tell me what's on your mind, and I'll help you capture and organize it. Over time, I learn what matters to you and help you connect your thoughts in ways you might not have seen yourself. Start free — and let's begin remembering, together. Namaste.
