Overview
What is Geniuz?
Geniuz is a persistent memory server for Claude Desktop. It saves context, preferences, decisions, and reasons across sessions and compactions, recalled by meaning instead of keywords. It runs entirely on your local machine using a bundled ONNX model—no cloud, no account, no API keys—and integrates via Anthropic’s MCP standard on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
How to use Geniuz?
Install the app from geniuz.life or the GitHub releases, then wire it into Claude Desktop with a single command: geniuz mcp install. It provides three tools: remember (save a semantic gist), recall (search by meaning), and recent (pick up where you left off). The server is free and MIT-licensed.
