Learns automatically as you work - no "remember this" required Shares one memory across Claude, Cursor, and Codex Lets you forget or mark things done - memory doesn't just pile up. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
