Any idea. Any team, anywhere. Any language. AI at every step.
An outliner for students, researchers, and professionals — developing research papers, project plans, Second Brains, product designs, or whatever you're building. AI doesn't just answer questions: it generates outlines from your sources, refreshes them against live web data, translates them into 20 languages, even produces podcasts and illustrations.
A research team in Boston, a partner lab in Shanghai, and a graduate student in São Paulo — all working in the same outline, each contributing in their native language. The structure stays in sync; the translations stay current; the conversation never stops.
IdiamPro is the idea developer for both written content and multimedia. Snap a whiteboard photo and watch it become a structured outline. Pick a branch and IdiamPro produces a complete YouTube content package — script, chapters, description, SEO, B-roll prompts. Multimedia in, multimedia out.
Outlining is already core to your craft. IdiamPro pulls in your research, drafts inside your structure, and ships the finished work — manuscript, screenplay, article, or YouTube companion package.
SecondBrainWare is a true intelligence amplifier—it doesn't just store information, it enhances your cognitive capabilities. Build a knowledge repository that grows with you, surfaces hidden connections, and accelerates your thinking.
Your brain can only hold so much. SecondBrainWare becomes your external memory—capturing every source, every insight, every connection you've ever encountered. Access decades of accumulated knowledge instantly.
Find what you need in seconds, not hours. Hierarchical outlines, AI-powered search, and smart organization means your knowledge is always at your fingertips—ready when you need it.
See what others miss. The hierarchical structure reveals complex interrelationships between ideas, surfaces creative possibilities, and helps you synthesize insights that would otherwise remain hidden.
“The difference between experts and novices isn't just what they know—it's how quickly they can access and connect that knowledge. SecondBrainWare gives everyone an expert's cognitive edge.”
Professional Research Workflows
Every step of the professional research workflow, powered by AI.
Import research papers, conference recordings, technical reports, and field notes simultaneously. AI synthesizes everything into a coherent outline organized by themes and findings—the way research should be organized.
Record in-person meetings, focus groups, or field interviews. Upload the audio and get automatic transcription with speaker diarization—know exactly who said what.
Select any branch and generate a professional podcast. Choose voices, style, and length.
One click generates content for any node. AI understands your outline's context and hierarchy.
Select a parent node and generate content for all children at once. Perfect for filling out chapters.
Ask questions about one outline or query all your outlines at once. Your personal Second Brain.
Select any branch and instantly create beautiful visual diagrams. Export or embed directly in your outline.
Describe what you need and AI generates it using Google Imagen 3. Insert directly into your outline.
Your data is never locked in. Export to PDF, Markdown, HTML (collapsible website), OPML, Obsidian with wiki-links, CSV, and more.
Changed your mind after merging research? One click restores your outline to its pre-merge state. Always recoverable.
Pick any outline branch and IdiamPro generates a complete YouTube content package — voiceover script with timing cues, chapter markers for the description, 5 title variants, 15+ SEO tags, a thumbnail concept, B-roll prompts for AI video tools (Runway, MagicLight, Sora), and a shot list for your screen recording.
Built for content creators who outline first, produce second.
Photograph a whiteboard, drop in a screenshot, snap a diagram. IdiamPro extracts the hierarchical structure as outline nodes — preserving relationships, not just text.
The source image stays attached so you can always trace back to where an idea came from.

Every feature designed around AI from day one
Local storage by default. Cloud is optional.
Instant response, even with massive outlines
Tasks, code, media, spreadsheets, and more
Unlike cloud-first apps that hold your data hostage, SecondBrainWare is built local-first. Your outlines live on your device. You're always in control.
Your data is stored on your device by default. No cloud required. No servers holding your thoughts.
We will never sell your data. Period. Your content is yours alone.
When you use AI features, your content is processed but never used to train AI models. Contractually guaranteed.
9 export formats mean you're never locked in. Leave anytime with all your data.
From PhD dissertations to investigative journalism, SecondBrainWare powers knowledge work that matters.
Upload 200 pages of medical records, expert reports, and prior testimony. SecondBrainWare builds a chronological timeline, flags contradictions between sources, and produces a one-page list of questions to ask the witness. Three days of paralegal work — done in twenty minutes.
Drop fifty research papers into one outline. SecondBrainWare groups them by methodology, summarizes each finding in plain English, and shows where the field agrees and where it's still fighting. You arrive at the writing stage already knowing the structure of your argument.
Import interview transcripts, archival research, and your own notes. SecondBrainWare drafts chapter outlines from your source material, suggests where each anecdote fits the narrative, and flags chapters where you're thin on evidence — so you know what to research next.
Combine client emails, stakeholder interviews, and competitive research into one outline. SecondBrainWare produces a slide-deck outline organized by client priority, with every claim traceable back to the email, transcript, or report that supports it.
Paste a link to a 90-minute lecture. SecondBrainWare transcribes it, organizes the content by topic with timestamps, and turns it into a study guide. Then ask follow-up questions and get answers from the lecture itself — not generic web search.
Import court records, leaked documents, and source interviews into a single secure outline. SecondBrainWare cross-references names, dates, and locations across sources to surface a coherent timeline. Every claim in your final story carries a click-through to the exact page that supports it.
A PhD candidate imported 47 research papers on computational biology. SecondBrainWare synthesized them into a coherent literature review organized by methodology, findings, and gaps.
An industrial R&D team recorded 12 hours of stakeholder interviews across 3 sites. SecondBrainWare transcribed with speaker diarization and organized insights by theme.

SecondBrainWare is purpose-built for research synthesis and content creation. Unlike general note-taking apps, we focus on importing multiple sources (YouTube, PDFs, audio) and using AI to synthesize them into structured outlines. Our multi-source analysis and speaker diarization features are unique to SecondBrainWare.
Yes! SecondBrainWare supports importing from Markdown, OPML, plain text, and JSON formats. You can also import content from PDFs, Word documents, web pages, and even YouTube videos with automatic transcription.
Absolutely. SecondBrainWare uses a local-first architecture—your outlines are stored on your device by default. When you use AI features, your content is sent securely to process but is never used to train AI models. We never sell your data.
We integrate with Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT-4, and Anthropic Claude. You can choose your preferred model, or let the system auto-select based on the task. Premium tiers unlock access to the most powerful models like Claude Opus.
Yes! All core outlining features work completely offline. Your outlines are stored locally and sync when you reconnect. AI features require an internet connection, but you can continue editing without it.
SecondBrainWare offers 9 export formats: PDF, Markdown, HTML (collapsible website), Plain Text, OPML, Obsidian (with wiki-links), CSV, JSON Tree, and more. Your data is never locked in.
Join thousands of researchers, authors, and professionals who've upgraded their workflow with SecondBrainWare.
No credit card required. Free tier forever.
*Node Capacity Testing: 1,000,000+ nodes tested on Apple M4 MacBook Air (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) running macOS. Generation time: 4.2s, save time: 1.8s, load time: 1.3s, file size: 98MB. Performance varies by hardware configuration.
Platform Considerations:
Storage: Outline files (.idm) are JSON-based. A 100,000-node outline is approximately 20MB. Local storage has no practical limit; web browser IndexedDB supports gigabytes of storage.
