Local-first cognitive memory

Your AI has amnesia.
We fix that.

Your AI remembers what matters, forgets what doesn't, and gets smarter with every conversation. One file on your machine. No cloud. No vendor lock-in.

1 file
Your entire memory is a single portable file

Cold start. No containers, no services.
Local
Your data stays on your hardware. Always.
Nothing is ever truly lost. Always recoverable.
Not another vector database
Memory that thinks like you do
Most "AI memory" is a glorified search index. Memoryco is a cognitive system modeled on how biological memory actually works — memories that strengthen with use, fade without it, and connect to each other naturally.
Typical AI memory

Flat storage

Every memory weighs the same forever. No relevance, no prioritization. Just an ever-growing pile that gets noisier over time.

Memoryco

Natural prioritization

Important memories stay sharp through use. Unused memories quietly fade into the background. Your AI always surfaces what matters most.

Typical AI memory

Isolated retrieval

Search returns results. That's it. No connections, no reinforcement, no emergent understanding.

Memoryco

Associative learning

Memories used together become linked automatically. Your knowledge graph builds itself through natural conversation — no manual organization required.

Typical AI memory

Cloud-dependent

Your memories live on someone else's server. Latency, vendor lock-in, privacy concerns, monthly API bills.

Memoryco

Local-first

One file. Your disk. Zero network calls for memory operations. Back it up, move it, own it completely.

Cognitive model
Three layers of intelligence
Inspired by how human cognition works — a stable sense of self, learned knowledge you can reference, and experiences that evolve over time.
Identity
Always present

Who you are

Persona, personality, values, preferences, relationships. The stable foundation that shapes every response. Always loaded, always consistent.

Reference
Authoritative knowledge

What you know

Indexed, searchable, citable source documents — textbooks, standards, clinical guidelines. Professional knowledge with proper citations built in.

Memory
Learns & evolves

What you've experienced

Living memories that strengthen with use, fade without it, and form connections naturally. Your AI's understanding deepens through every conversation.

Built for MCP

Drop it into any agent

Memoryco runs as an MCP server. Add it to Claude Desktop, Cursor, your custom agent — anything that speaks the Model Context Protocol gets persistent memory in one config line.

Your AI stores what it learns, recalls what's relevant, and builds associations through natural conversation. No code changes to your agent. Just memory.

Supports local and network transports. Personal use or team-scale. Same cognitive model.

claude_desktop_config.json
{ "mcpServers": { "memory": { "command": "memoryco", "args": ["serve"] } } } // That's it. Your AI now remembers.
Capabilities
Everything you need, nothing you don't
A complete cognitive toolkit — from persistent memory to professional reference management.
Memory

Persistent recall

Store, search, and recall memories across sessions. Semantic search finds what you mean, not just what you said. Memories connect and reinforce automatically.

Identity

Stable persona

Define who your AI is — personality, expertise, values, relationships. Always loaded, always consistent. The foundation every response builds on.

References

Citable knowledge

Index authoritative documents with full-text search and automatic citations. Professional-grade reference management for clinical, legal, and academic work.

Lenses

Task context

Load style guides, review checklists, and documentation standards into working memory. Apply them consistently across sessions without repeating yourself.

Plans

Task tracking

Lightweight multi-step task management. Create plans, track progress, mark completion. Keep complex work on track across conversations.

Tunable

Your rules

Every cognitive behavior is configurable. Tune how quickly memories fade, how strongly connections form, and how aggressively recall reinforces. Your system, your rules.

Better together
The brain that makes every tool smarter
Memoryco isn't just memory — it's an ecosystem. Reference packs bring domain knowledge. Compatible tools bring capabilities. Together, they create an AI that truly understands your world.
Knowledge for the brain

Reference Packs

Pre-indexed, citable document packs for specific domains. Clinical guidelines, legal codes, engineering standards — professional knowledge your AI can search, cite, and apply. Available through the Marketplace.

Hands for the brain

Compatible Tools

MCP tools that become smarter when paired with Memoryco. Filesystem servers that know your projects, CLI tools that remember what works, code search that understands your codebase. Every tool is better with memory.

A learning system that happens to have an LLM interface, not an LLM that happens to have a knowledge base.

We believe your AI's memory should live on your hardware, evolve naturally through use, and build understanding through the same patterns that make human cognition powerful.

No cloud. No API bills. No data harvesting. Just a single file that gets smarter every time you use it.

1

Local-first, always

Your memory lives on your disk. Back it up, move it, own it. It's a file, not a service.

2

Decay is a feature

Unused memories fade naturally. What remains is what matters. This is how real memory works — and it's how AI memory should too.

3

Use creates structure

Your knowledge graph emerges from actual usage patterns. No manual tagging, no taxonomy design. Just natural conversation.

4

Nothing is ever lost

Faded memories aren't deleted. They're always there, always recoverable. Every experience can be brought back when you need it.

Free for personal use. No credit card. No cloud account. Just memory.
