Second Brain Sync
Sync your Obsidian notes to your own AI memory. Search them back with semantic search — from inside Obsidian, or from any AI tool that supports MCP.
Built on Cloudflare Workers + Vectorize. Your data stays on your own infrastructure.
What it does
- Sync any note to your Second Brain with one click or a hotkey
- Bulk sync all notes with a specific tag
- Auto-sync tagged notes every time you save
- Chunk long notes automatically so embeddings stay clean
- Status bar shows the last time you synced
Getting started
You need a running Second Brain Worker before this plugin is useful. Deploy one for free at:
→ github.com/rahilp/second-brain-cloudflare
Once your Worker is running:
- Open Settings → Second Brain Sync
- Paste your Worker URL (e.g.
https://second-brain.yourname.workers.dev) - Paste your Auth token (the
AUTH_TOKENsecret you set in Cloudflare) - Hit Test to confirm the connection works
- Set your Sync tag — any note with this tag in its frontmatter will sync (default:
brain)
Syncing notes
Tag a note for sync by adding the tag to its frontmatter:
---
tags:
- brain
---
Then sync it:
- Click the brain icon in the ribbon to sync the current note
Ctrl/Cmd + P→ "Sync current note to Second Brain"Ctrl/Cmd + P→ "Sync all tagged notes to Second Brain"- Or turn on auto-sync in settings and forget about it
Settings
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Worker URL | Your Cloudflare Worker URL | — |
| Auth token | Your AUTH_TOKEN secret | — |
| Sync mode | Sync all notes, or only tagged ones | Tagged only |
| Sync tag | The frontmatter tag that marks a note for sync | brain |
| Auto-sync on save | Sync automatically when you save | Off |
| Auto-sync delay | How long to wait after you stop typing | 5s |
| Chunk size | Max characters per chunk | 1600 |
| Chunk overlap | Overlap between chunks to preserve context | 200 |
| Show sync status | Show last sync time in the status bar | On |
How chunking works
Notes under the chunk size get stored as a single entry. Longer notes get split into overlapping segments — each one gets its own embedding in Vectorize, so long notes don't produce diluted search results. The overlap keeps sentences at chunk boundaries from losing context.
