01What's the best AI second brain app?
The one built around what you keep most. If it's things you save from your phone and the web, Recallr reads them and answers from them with sources. If it's notes you write, Obsidian or Mem; for a team workspace, Notion; for a visual moodboard, mymind.
02Can I use Recallr with the app I already have?
Yes. Recallr reads Notion, Google Drive and Dropbox on the Free plan, and works inside other AI assistants through the Recallr MCP server. Many people keep writing where they write and send everything else to Recallr.
