What ExoBrain Does

Your morning, automated

Daily Brief

Every morning, ExoBrain fetches top headlines across your chosen topics and writes a structured Markdown brief directly into Obsidian.

Summarizer

Drop any URL, YouTube video, or PDF — Claude summarizes it into a clean note with key points, quotes, and tags.

Knowledge Library

Every note is automatically linked, tagged, and indexed. Your vault becomes a searchable, connected second brain.

People Profiles

Track contacts, collaborators, and thought leaders. ExoBrain builds rich profiles from your notes automatically.

Google Calendar

Today's events — times, titles, and locations — pulled directly into your morning brief.

Gmail Inbox

Only emails from real people. Newsletters, noreply senders, and notifications stripped automatically.

Why ExoBrain

Built on principles that matter

Data Ownership

Your notes live in plain Markdown on your Mac. No cloud lock-in, no subscriptions to our servers, no data mining. You own everything.

Zero Config

One npx exobrain and you're done. No YAML, no Docker, no complex configuration. ExoBrain handles the plumbing.

AI-Powered

Claude AI reads, reasons, and writes. Not keyword matching — genuine understanding that improves your notes over time.
