Use case

Build a second brain you can still find your way around

SpacebarX turns notes, projects, ideas and resources into one private tree. Capture quickly, organise when it matters, and find what you need without rebuilding your system every year.

The dotted markers are one item, shown twice. Not a copy in each place.

Keep ideas connected by structure, not maintenance

Use one inbox for capture, then move items into projects, areas, resources and archive branches. The hierarchy remains visible, search stays fast, and mirrors let one idea appear in more than one place.

Capture without deciding

Get the thought down, then put it where it belongs later.

Find it again

Search across the whole outline or save the searches you return to.

Keep it private

The original workspace stays on your device, with optional sync through your own cloud.

Start with four branches

  1. Create an Inbox, then Projects, Areas, Resources and Archive

    Five headings hold everything. The Inbox is the front door; the other four are where things live once you know what they are.

  2. Put every new note in Inbox first

    Deciding where something belongs is a different job from writing it down, and doing both at once is why capture stops happening.

  3. Move it when its context is clear, archive it when it is not active

    An idea that belongs in two places becomes a mirror rather than a second copy, so the two can never disagree.

Your toolkit

The note you write today should still be findable years from now

Start with one inbox and four branches. Let the system grow with your thinking.
