A portable second brain
Own the context.
Rent the models.
Halo is a private brain that lives with you, not inside a chatbot. It remembers your projects, people, and decisions - and every AI you use can read it and grow it.

What it holds
A brain, not a chat log.
Halo stores distilled facts and entities - not transcripts. Every entry has a reference, a category, and a history. This is what a slice of one looks like:
| fact:2841 | decision | Ship the beta free - win trust first, charge for hosting later |
| fact:2842 | preference | Prefers TDD for anything with business logic |
| entity:project/halo | project | Halo - own-your-data second brain, hosted beta |
| fact:2903 | milestone | Dashboard API deployed - 133 tests green |
| fact:2910 | provisional | Shortlisted for the London Rising Star award - review by Aug 1 |
| fact:2911 | capturing… |
° Provisional facts carry a review date - Halo re-checks what might have changed instead of letting it go stale.
How it works
Three steps. Then it’s automatic.
Create your brain
Sign up and a private brain spins up - a store of facts and entities that is yours from byte one. Empty at first. That's the point.
Connect your AI
Paste one URL into Claude or ChatGPT and log in. Two minutes, no code, works on your phone too. The same URL serves every AI you use.
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
https://halo-brain.fly.dev/mcp
Think as usual
Your AI recalls before it answers and captures decisions, milestones, and preferences as you work. The brain grows itself - you just keep thinking.
“What did we decide about the beta?”

Ownership
Yours, verifiably.
Portable
Halo speaks MCP, the open connector standard. The same brain serves Claude today and whatever you use next - switching models no longer costs you your context.

Exportable
One click gives you everything as Markdown or JSON. No ransom, no request form, no 30-day wait. Leaving is a feature, not a support ticket.

Private
Your brain is stored encrypted and never read or monetized. When you ask an AI a question, it sees what that question needs - never your whole life by default.
encrypted at rest

It fills itself.
