Learning made to last.
Mycel Project aims to make long-term learning pleasurable and efficient.
From curiosity to knowledge
Mycel Project supports every step of learning, from capturing what sparks your interest, to understanding how it connects, to retaining it for the long run.
Grows everywhere
Mycel is built to fit wherever you think. Use Mycelium on any platform, or connect to Mycel directly into your favorite knowledge tool.
Open by design
Mycel and Mycelium are open-source under the AGPL license : free to use, free to inspect, and free to shape. Contribute to its development, self-host it, or extend it to fit your workflow.
The root.
Mycel is the name of the backend powering everything: from scheduling and data collection to processing and sync. Wherever it runs, your knowledge spreads.
Import
Start by importing from various sources: web articles, videos, podcasts, books. You can then prioritize your imports based on how much each source matters to you.
Fragment
Extract the richest parts of your imports. Keep refining over time, fragment by fragment, at your own pace following what sparks your interest, until each piece of knowledge stands on its own.
Spore
Once a fragment is refined enough, turn it into a spore: a precise, self-contained unit of knowledge ready to take root. Mycel uses spaced repetition to make sure each one grows and holds, long after you first encountered it.
Bloom
As your spores take root, each review strengthens not just the knowledge itself, but the connections between ideas. What once felt out of reach becomes natural ground, harder concepts finding their footing in everything you've already built.
Mycel spreads.
Nourish your curiosity
Let curiosity be your only compass. Mycel keeps every subject on track, no matter how many you choose to explore at once.
Grow understanding
Complex topics become approachable when broken down at your own pace, each concept grounded in what you already know.
Work where you think
Use Mycel directly inside your favorite knowledge tool: same theme, same shortcuts, same environment, linking it directly to your second brain.
Always something new
Each session blends review and discovery. You strengthen what you know while refining new fragments and expanding understanding.
Built for the human mind
In a world where technology moves fast, Mycel focuses on one goal: helping humans turn information into understanding they can truly own.
