Switch from Rescroll

You signed up for a knowledge base. Rescroll sells a creator tool now.

Rescroll launched at thesecondbrain.io and turned into a tool for creators in May 2026. If you came for the library half, bring your links here. Ex-Rescroll users get Starter at $6 a month for 12 months with SECONDBRAIN6.

What you get for switching

  • For ex-Rescroll usersStarter at $6 a month for 12 months

    Starter is normally $9 a month. The code takes $3 off each month for a year, on monthly billing.

    Code SECONDBRAIN6

  • Free plan200 items free

    A one-time allowance of 200 items through the link-list importer and Import → Recall.

  • All plans, Free includedClaude reads and writes

    Add BrainTube to Claude.ai as a connector and sign in. Claude can search what you saved and save new things into it, Free plan included.

Rescroll documents no export, so there's no Rescroll file to import. What you can bring is the links. If you kept them in a bookmarks folder, a spreadsheet or a note, the link-list importer takes them.

What changed at Rescroll

Between 8 and 21 May 2026 the Rescroll homepage went from talking about knowledge to talking about hooks, and thesecondbrain.io now redirects to rescroll.ai. Around 26 September 2026 the $6 Basic plan went away. As of 4 October 2026 the cheapest plan is Pro at $29 a month, or $20 a month billed yearly, and there's no free plan, no export, no MCP server and no API.

SECONDBRAIN6 puts the old $6 back for a year: Starter at $6 a month for 12 months instead of $9, on monthly billing.

How to bring your library

The link-list importer reads a Raindrop, Instapaper or Pocket export, any CSV with a URL column, or a plain list with one URL per line, up to 500 links per import. BrainTube saves, transcribes and indexes each one. Saving is free and unlimited on every plan, and the Free plan includes 200 items through the importers.

Then it's your YouTube library, inside Claude. In Claude.ai you add BrainTube as a custom connector and sign in with OAuth. Claude can search what you saved and save new things into it in the same conversation. In BrainTube's own chat, a video citation shows the timestamp of the moment it came from.

Where Rescroll is still better

I build BrainTube, so weigh this with that in mind. If your output is short-form social content, Rescroll reads TikToks, Reels and Shorts frame by frame and generates carousels. BrainTube does none of that. Plenty of creators could reasonably keep Rescroll for posting and use BrainTube for the library.

Frequently asked

Is Rescroll the same app as thesecondbrain.io?
Yes. The app that launched at thesecondbrain.io is now Rescroll, and the old domain redirects to rescroll.ai. In May 2026 it repositioned as a tool for content creators.
Can I export my library from Rescroll?
As of 4 October 2026, Rescroll's site and docs describe no library export, no MCP server and no public API. That's an absence of published information, so ask their support before you rely on it. If you kept the original links, BrainTube's link-list importer takes them.
What does SECONDBRAIN6 give me?
Starter at $6 a month for 12 months instead of $9, on monthly billing. Starter includes 300 credits a month and bulk YouTube import of up to 50 videos at a time.
Can I combine SECONDBRAIN6 with SWITCH50?
No, checkout takes one code. SWITCH50 is 50% off Starter for 3 months after an import; SECONDBRAIN6 is $3 off a month for 12 months, which saves more over the year.
What can the link-list importer read?
A Raindrop, Instapaper or Pocket export, any CSV with a URL column, or plain text with one URL per line, up to 500 links per import. BrainTube saves, transcribes and indexes each one.
