Your second brain with opinions. Capture → Synthesize → Ship.

BOXY is a Notion-powered system for turning a firehose of captures into shipped work. It's built for people who save more than they process and have ideas that never become anything. Unlike typical "second brain" systems that optimize for organization, BOXY optimizes for shipping.

One-click install. You get all 7 BOXY databases ready to go.

Create a Notion integration to enable all BOXY features:

1. Go to notion.so/my-integrations → New integration → name it "BOXY"
2. Copy the API key (starts with secret_)
3. On your BOXY page → ••• → Connections → add "BOXY"

Done. This API key works for all integrations below.

Capture articles, quotes, and sparks from any webpage.

Install: Chrome Web Store → search "BOXY" → Add to Chrome

Configure: Right-click BOXY icon → Options → paste API key + BOXY page URL → Save

Use:

• Click BOXY icon to save current page to Flow
• Highlight text → click ⚡ tooltip to save as Spark
• Alt+Shift+B opens the modal

7 Databases:

• ⚡ Sparks — Micro-captures (quotes, thoughts, observations)
• 📥 Flow — Standard captures (articles, videos, notes)
• 🎯 Sources — Recurring inputs (newsletters, podcasts, people)
• 🔮 Lenses — Living patterns that connect content
• 💡 Ideas — Concepts being developed toward output
• 🎯 Projects — Groups of Ideas toward larger goals
• 📤 Outputs — Finished, shipped work

1. Capture is free, synthesis is expensive — make capture effortless
2. Ship over perfect — shipped 80% beats unshipped 100%
3. Patterns over items — individual captures matter less than what they reveal
4. Energy is signal — trust your gut about what's hot
