Choosing Your Tool

Popular second brain tools include Notion (flexible and visual), Obsidian (local-first, linked notes), Roam Research (networked thought), and Evernote (the simple veteran). The best choice depends on how you think: hierarchies favor Notion, connections favor Obsidian or Roam, and pure simplicity favors Evernote or Apple Notes.

Do not spend weeks researching. Pick one, commit for 90 days, and switch only if you hit a genuine wall.
