Frequently asked questions

Everything you might be wondering, answered calmly.

Is this an app I have to log into?

No. The Second Brain Folder is a method plus a set of files you own — delivered as plain Markdown, a Notion template, and an Obsidian vault. There is nothing to log into and nothing to subscribe to. Use the tool you already live in.

I already have a note app. Why do I need this?

Because a note app is a place, not a method. The Second Brain Folder gives you the missing structure, capture habit, and weekly review that make notes findable and worth revisiting — and it drops straight into the note app you already have.

Will this work with Notion / Obsidian / Apple Notes?

Yes. The system is deliberately tool-agnostic. Notes are just text, organized well, so it works with whatever you use today and moves cleanly to whatever you switch to tomorrow.

Do you store my notes?

Never. The site is static and asks for nothing. Your notes live in your own files. And by design it is a garden, not a hoard — keep passwords and sensitive records in dedicated secure tools, never in your notes.

Is this just another giant template?

No — and that is the point. Giant templates become new clutter the day you open them. This is a small, living system you tend, seeded with just enough structure to begin and grow.
