Self-Hostable Open-Source Second BrainOpen Source
OpenBrain
Capture reels, posts, links, and screenshots you save. Openbrain reads, summarizes, and lets you find them in plain language.
Result
Plain-language search over everything saved
The problem
Everything you save gets saved somewhere you will never look again. Bookmarks, saved reels, screenshots: all of it is write-only.
The approach
Built an ingest pipeline that reads each item on the way in, pulling text out of screenshots with OCR and transcripts out of video, then embedding the result so it can be searched by meaning.
The outcome
You can ask for the thing you half-remember saving and actually get it back. Self-hostable, so the archive stays yours.
