Memmy is your personal memory hub — and a dedicated Agent that knows you best.
One unified memory layer for every AI you use. Evolving together through collaboration.
It distills your knowledge, preferences, and project experience into personal memory, and share the same context across every Agents — Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw 🦞, and more.
Available as a desktop app, CLI, and API. You can use the same long-term memory whatever the ways you like to use. Build it once, use it everywhere.

Get Memmy from Official Website and GitHub.
Sign up to get free tokens. Model routing is automatic — start exploring the full Memory + Agent Runtime with zero config.
Trial credits:
- Registration grants 30,000,000 tokens; you can check your remaining balance and usage inside the app.
Once the trial credits run out, you can switch to BYOK and use your own model API.
Every AI session generates context. Most of it gets thrown away.
Switch agents, close a tab, start a new session, and you're re-introducing yourself from scratch.
Memmy fixes that.
With a unified memory layer shared across Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and more, your agents build on each other's context instead of starting over. One-shot conversations become a long-term working relationship.
Memmy provides a unified personal memory layer for all AI Agents.
- Cross-Agent shared memory Whether working in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenClaw, you can keep using the same context and experience, no need to re-introduce anything again.
- MemOS-powered memory engine Automatically collects, understands, and structures your knowledge, preferences, and work experience, distilling scattered conversations and behavior into searchable, reusable long-term memory.
- Historical context onboarding Supports importing the history of your existing Agents, turning past conversations and project experience into a continuously growing personal knowledge asset.
Memmy provides a complete local Agent runtime environment.
- A unified experience across entry points Supports the desktop app, CLI/TUI, and an OpenAI-compatible API, all sharing the same Agents, memory, and configuration.
- Continuous task collaboration Start a task from any entry point and seamlessly continue it across different scenarios, unconstrained by a single session.
- Extensible Agent capabilities Connect more tools through Skills and MCP, taking the Agent from conversation to real task execution.
Memmy can connect to your working environment, letting the Agent truly participate in your daily workflows.
- Connect the tools you use Supports Telegram, Discord, WeChat, Feishu, and DingTalk, plus productivity tools like GitHub, Gmail, Notion, Slack, and Jira.
- An open tool ecosystem Supports MCP and custom Skills, extending capabilities such as file handling, shell, web, image generation, and task automation.
- Flexible model configuration Configure reasoning, Embedding, memory processing, speech, and image generation models as needed, compatible with mainstream model services.
Memmy is designed to guarantee your control over your personal data and memory.
- Local-first architecture Memory, configuration, and app state are stored on your machine by default; no data needs to be uploaded to the cloud.
- Secure access control Local services provide controlled access mechanisms, ensuring only authorized sources can invoke memory capabilities.
- Real memory, no hallucinations When the memory service is unavailable, Memmy reports the error explicitly instead of returning nonexistent "fake memories".
After installing Memmy, it can automatically scan the history of your existing AI Agents. Within minutes, the project context, work habits, and preferences you have accumulated over the past months are converted into personal long-term memory, along with a personalized "First Meeting Report".
Now supported: Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent.

Memmy is not just a chat interface — it is an AI Agent Runtime that runs locally. It unifies long-term memory, Agent execution, and tool connections in a single runtime environment, serving different scenarios through different entry points:
| Role | Core Capabilities | |
|---|---|---|
| 🧠 Memory Layer | Store and manage long-term context | Cross-Agent memory, history import, knowledge distillation, intelligent retrieval |
| 🤖 Agent Runtime | Drive Agents to execute tasks | Reasoning, task orchestration, tool calls, MCP, Skills |
| 🔌 Integration Layer | Connect external ecosystems | Messaging channels, third-party tools, OpenAI-compatible API |
| 🖥️ User Interface | Provide entry points | Desktop App, CLI/TUI, Web API |
Memmy uses an npm workspaces monorepo architecture:
Memmy System Architecture
Compared with "personal AI Agents" like Hermes and OpenClaw, what sets Memmy apart is not "yet another assistant that chats and runs errands for you" — it is a memory foundation shared across Agents: it remembers you first, then builds a general-purpose Agent on top of that.

- Launch the Memmy desktop app and choose Account mode or API Key mode.
- In API Key mode, configure the primary model and pass a connection test; optionally configure Embedding, ASR, image generation, memory summary, and skill evolution models.
- Enter the main workbench and send your first task.
- Open "Tools" to connect messaging channels or third-party tools; open "Memory" to scan Agent history sources.
Account mode free credits: signing in grants 30,000,000 (30 million) trial tokens, so you can get running without your own API Key. You can check used / total / remaining amounts and the expiry date anytime in the app. Trial tokens use model

memmy-memory get <id>Connects to http://127.0.0.1:18960\ by default; use --url, --token, --config, --source, and --user-id to specify the target service, authentication, source, and user namespace.
- Workspace — the Agent's working directory, default
~/.memmy/workspace; syncs templates, built-in skills, and memory files. - Config — the main configuration, default
~/.memmy/config.yaml(overridable viaMEMMY_CONFIG/--config), covering models, providers, tools, MCP, gateway, Memory, and workspace settings. - Agent Runtime — the core of task execution: model calls, message loop, tool registration, MCP, sessions, long tasks, skill loading, auto-compaction, and memory hooks.
- Memory Service — the local-first memory foundation, default
http://127.0.0.1:18960\, providing session, turn, search, write, panel, and analytics APIs; every entry point reads and writes the same memory, so tasks and context carry over across Agents. - Local Backend — the backend for the desktop local API (Fastify + SQLite app state), handling accounts, configuration, integrations, source scanning, and Skill writing.
- Agent Source — an adapter that collects historical context from external Agents; each source has history-reading logic and an optional Skill install target.
Get running in three steps:
git clone https://github.com/MemTensor/memmy-agent.git && cd memmy-agent
cp .env.example .env # Cloud address is pre-filled — works out of the box
bash scripts/dev-start.sh # Install deps → build → start the full stackscripts/dev-start.sh does it all in one command: installs dependencies, builds Memory and memmy-agent, installs the memmy / memmy-memory CLIs, and starts the full stack (Memory, Agent API, Gateway, frontend, desktop backend). Once the desktop app opens, finish account sign-in or BYOK setup and you're ready.

- More memory sources — expanding from AI conversations to browser activity, local documents, and eventually more devices and hardware.
- Team collaboration — planned Agent-to-Agent collaboration, letting team members' AI assistants share knowledge under privacy protection.
Memmy stands on the shoulders of a group of excellent open-source projects, and we are deeply grateful.
- OpenClaw — a pioneer of open-source personal AI assistants; its exploration of multi-platform messaging channels directly inspired Memmy's channel connection design.
- hermes-agent — the self-evolving Agent built by Nous Research; its practice in persistent memory and skill self-learning showed us that an Agent can "understand you better the more you use it".
- nanobot — grown from a minimal prototype into a fully featured open-source Agent platform; its engineering practice around the Agent loop and MCP integration provided important references for Memmy's core design.
The point of open source is to let good ideas flow, and we hope Memmy becomes part of that river.
Thanks to every contributor who makes Memmy better ❤️
