Build A Second Brain With Taskade

Second brain is your trusty sidekick for all kinds of projects. It lets you store, organize, and retrieve information without having to spend hours trying to find what you're looking for.

💫 Private By Default, Collaborative by Nature

Projects, notes, tasks, outlines, drafts, product specs, meeting minutes—Taskade lets you keep everything organized inside a digital second brain. Keep it to yourself or show it to the world!

Step 1: Capture Notes and Ideas

Take notes and add them to your second brain wherever you are. Write outlines, capture thoughts, generate ideas, and embed bookmarks and images on all your devices (Mac, Windows, Android, iOS, Linux, and Web).

Step 2: Organize in Outlines and Hierarchies

Build high-level hierarchies of notes, projects, and ideas, or create outlines with infinite hierarchies of nested items. All tucked inside folders and workspaces, so you always know where to find them.

Step 3: Share and Collaborate

Knowledge is meant to be shared. Time to show your second brain to the world and collaborate with others in real-time. Bring your team on board or publish your notes online in seconds!
