24 connectors. One private brain.
Wondering what to do with your LinkedIn data export, your Google Takeout, an Instagram archive or a Slack export? Every platform is legally required to hand you your data — Second Brain Link is what makes it work. Each connector below shows exactly what we leverage, what we extract, where it maps in your second brain or Company Brain, and how to get the export. Everything runs 100% locally — zero network calls, message text never read.
Personal sources — build a second brain from your exports
Twelve connectors that turn the archives platforms already owe you into a digital twin: your people, your voice, your interests, your places — and how the algorithms see you. One export or a combined archive; duplicates merge into one note per person.

How data exports work
Data portability is law — GDPR Article 20, the EU Digital Markets Act and CCPA require platforms to give you your data in a machine-readable format, free.
Request the export
Every connector above documents the exact clicks. Most exports arrive within hours; LinkedIn and X take up to 24–48 h. It’s your data — the platform must hand it over.
Drop it in — anywhere
Tell Claude Code or Codex “build my second brain from this .zip”, upload it to a connector tile in Studio, or import it on your phone in Second Brain Mobile. Sources are auto-detected — even combined archives.
Refresh with a newer archive
An export is a snapshot — sharp on history, blind to this week. Download a fresh one whenever you like and update the brain in place: your edits and _notes/ are kept, stale notes are pruned, and the run is summarized honestly.
Your exports are waiting.
Request one today — your brain builds itself in about a minute, locally.
