Indexes What You Already Have
Point Agent Memory at folders of Markdown, source code, runbooks, decision logs, JSON, YAML and more. It chunks, embeds and stores them locally — no manual prep, no upload step.
Private Local Memory · Windows · Mac · Linux
Agent Memory turns your PC into a private memory layer for any AI assistant — indexing your folders, repos, runbooks and notes into a local semantic store, ready to use through a single local API. Eighteen built-in skills cover Organising, Design and Marketing out of the box. Always your data, always your call.

Organising · Design · Marketing — six recipes per category, ready to run.
Indexing, embeddings and search all run on your machine. Nothing phones home.
Built for continuity
Most agents start every conversation with amnesia. Agent Memory keeps your project knowledge, decisions and working preferences once — locally — and serves them through a single API any assistant on your machine can call.
Point Agent Memory at folders of Markdown, source code, runbooks, decision logs, JSON, YAML and more. It chunks, embeds and stores them locally — no manual prep, no upload step.
Queries are answered by a local MiniLM embedding model and a cosine-similarity index on disk. No hosted vector database, no per-query bill, no rate limits.
Save your About Me, How I Like to Work and Very Important guidance once. Agent Memory returns it as a profilePrompt before every search result, so assistants stay consistent.
A small Express API on 127.0.0.1:8765 exposes /search, /ingest, /documents, /profile and /stats. Connect Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, Cursor, n8n, or your own scripts.
The vector index is a JSON file under your user data folder. The API binds to 127.0.0.1, not the public network. Nothing is sent off-device unless you explicitly choose to.
Add manual notes by hand, swap embedding models, inspect the JSON store, edit a skill, or rebuild the index from scratch. Friendly defaults for newcomers, full control for power users.
The Skills Library — built in
Skills are short operating procedures stored alongside your local memory. Ask any connected assistant to “run a Project Briefing,” “draft a Launch Brief,” or “do a Reading Order Audit,” and the skill provides the recipe while Agent Memory provides the project context. Edit them, write your own, or share a folder of skills across machines.
Skills that turn scattered notes, repos and decisions into something you can actually act on.
Search the local index for a project and produce a one-page brief with cited file paths.
Pull recent decision-log entries and summarise what changed, who decided, and what is reversible.
Turn an ad-hoc session into a runbook entry that links back to the source files involved.
List what was decided yesterday across indexed projects, with sources for every line.
Surface anything in indexed notes that flags cost, security, or rollback risk before it bites.
Answer “how does X work here?” with file-cited snippets pulled from indexed docs.
Skills that keep brand, accessibility and pattern decisions grounded in what your project already says.
Check copy or layout proposals against your indexed brand guidelines and tone-of-voice notes.
Critique a design or wireframe against your indexed accessibility and UX standards.
Find every place a UI pattern appears in indexed source so you can change it once, everywhere.
Locate logos, palettes and brand assets across indexed folders, then list canonical paths.
Review structured documents for heading order and accessibility flags before they reach a user.
Apply your About Me / How I Work / Very Important profile to every reply, automatically.
Skills that draft, audit and remix marketing material from the source-of-truth already in your memory.
Compare a draft page to indexed marketing patterns and tone-of-voice notes for the project.
Assemble a launch-day brief from indexed product docs, decisions and FAQs in one pass.
Rewrite copy to match the tone-of-voice samples already sitting in your local memory.
Generate a press one-pager grounded in indexed product features and approved quotes.
Turn indexed support questions and answers into a structured FAQ page with cited sources.
Produce platform-sized posts from a single indexed announcement, with source links intact.
From install to indexed in minutes
Set it up once, then forget about it. Agent Memory runs quietly in the background while every assistant on your machine reads from the same memory.
Download the Windows package, the macOS .dmg, or the Linux .AppImage. Double-click. Accept the licence. The local service starts itself.
Tell Agent Memory who you are, how you like to work, and what is important. That becomes the profilePrompt every connected assistant receives.
Pick the folders that matter — repos, docs, runbooks, decision logs. Agent Memory walks the trees and indexes supported file types up to 2 MB each.
Point Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n or your own scripts at http://127.0.0.1:8765/search. Run a built-in skill, or write your own.
System requirements
Vs. cloud memory
Hosted vector databases and built-in chatbot memory are convenient — until you read the privacy policy, the per-query bill, or try to use them offline.
| Capability | Hosted vector DB | Built-in chatbot memory | Agent Memory |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where your data lives | Hosted vector DB | Vendor cloud | Your disk |
| Works offline | No | No | Yes (after first model download) |
| Recurring cost | $70 – $500+ / month | Bundled in $20+ / month subs | $0 / month |
| Per-query fee | Per request | Per token | None |
| Indexes raw repos & folders | You wire it up | No | Built in |
| Works across multiple agents | Yes, with glue code | Locked to one vendor | Any agent that can call HTTP |
| Built-in skills library | None | Vendor-specific | 18 skills, three categories |
| User guidance / system prompt | Not included | Vendor-specific | Returned with every search |
| Setup time | Hours | Minutes | Minutes |
