What we checked ourselves
Not copied from the project's own blurb. These are things we opened and verified, with the date.
- 8 Sept 2026We checked that the link to the project still resolves.
- 13 Sept 2026We read the licence text itself (LICENSE). No unusual restrictions were stated.
- 1 Sept 2026We read the project's own documentation and found no sign that development has stopped.
Where this sits among the 63 tools we list in Claude Code ecosystem
- No API key required43 of 63
- Keeps your data on your own machine19 of 63
- Commercial use confirmed as allowed53 of 63
- Requires terminal commands9 that do not →
Only 18 of the 63 meet all of the conditions above.
Counted from our own checks: every tool we list is examined against the same criteria.
What it does
Semantic memory across coding agents, with a twist worth noting: it watches for workflows you repeat and distils them into installable skills, maintained in the background alongside durable PROJECT.md and USER.md notes. Cross-platform. Automatic background updating is convenient and means you should periodically check what it has decided to keep. Requires Milvus, so heavier to stand up than file-based memory. MIT.
