Second Brain Builder

Build a personal second brain using the CODE framework (Capture, Organize, Distill, Express), with practical guidance on tool integration, workflow design, and turning saved information into creative output.

Download Murage

Free and open source. macOS, Windows and Ubuntu.

Try it

Add the skill to a bot, then ask your Chief of Staff:

“Use the Second Brain Builder skill on this: [describe the job, or paste your notes].”

CODE is Tiago Forte's four-step process for turning information into results: Capture what resonates, Organize by actionability, Distill to the essence, and Express by creating tangible output. The key insight is that the purpose of saving information is not to have it, but to use it. For the full methodology, see Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte.

What it covers
