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:

  1. Open Settings → Second Brain Sync
  2. Paste your Worker URL (e.g. https://second-brain.yourname.workers.dev)
  3. Paste your Auth token (the AUTH_TOKEN secret you set in Cloudflare)
  4. Hit Test to confirm the connection works
  5. 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

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.
