Rememb

What is Rememb?

Rememb is a local-first persistent memory layer for AI agents. It provides structured entries, keyword search, versioning, diff, restore, and an audit trail — all without requiring a cloud service or API keys. It is designed for teams and solo developers who operate agents across sessions and need to avoid context loss.

How to use Rememb?

Install with pip install rememb. The recommended integration is via MCP: add a rememb server entry to your IDE's MCP config using the command rememb mcp. Restart the IDE and the agent can read, write, search, and restore memory automatically. For a persistent local process, start with rememb mcp --transport sse --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765. You can also run the web UI with rememb to inspect and configure memory.

Key features of Rememb

Use cases of Rememb

• Resume an agent session with full context from prior work

• Store user preferences and recurring requests for consistent agent behavior

FAQ from Rememb

What makes Rememb different from cloud-based memory services?

Rememb is local-first: it stores memory as plain JSON or SQLite on disk, with no servers, API keys, or accounts. You keep full control and can copy the store anywhere.

What are the runtime dependencies?

Rememb requires Python 3.10 to 3.12. No additional embedding models or external services are needed at runtime.

Where does Rememb store data?

Data is stored locally in the ~/.rememb/ directory by default. You can copy this folder to move the memory store to another machine.

Which transports does Rememb support for MCP?

Rememb supports stdio (default for IDE integration) and SSE for a persistent local process. The SSE mode must be started separately with the --transport sse flag.

Does Rememb require authentication?

No. Rememb operates entirely locally and does not use any authentication or API keys. Access is limited to the local machine.
