Your AI finally remembers you
Engram gives AI agents persistent, cross-session memory. Stop re-explaining your codebase, preferences, and context. Works with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible tool.
SQLite for agent state. Local-first. Open source.
npm install -g @hbarefoot/engramAI memory is broken fixable
Every tool tries to solve memory differently. None of them get it right.
What Exists Today
- RAG (vector search over docs)
- Static system prompts / .claude files
- Conversation history (context window)
- Manual memory edits (Claude's memory)
- .cursorrules / project configs
What Engram Does
- Learns passively from interactions
- Understands relationships between facts
- Prioritizes relevant memory by context
- Decays outdated info automatically
- Works across agents, not locked to one platform
