Your AI's memory.
Private by design.
Mnem gives every AI tool on your Mac one shared, long-term memory — stored entirely on your machine. Cursor, Claude, Zed, ChatGPT and more finally remember you, without your life leaving your laptop.
Memories, settings, and tokens never leave your Mac. The cloud handles identity, billing, and licensing — nothing else.
One memory, shared by the tools you already use
How it works
Three steps between you and AI tools that remember.
-
Install the menu-bar app
Download Mnem, drag it to Applications, and it settles quietly into your menu bar — with a live memory-field widget showing what it knows.
-
Connect your tools in one click
Open the Connections panel and flip on Cursor, Claude Desktop, Zed, and more. Mnem speaks MCP, so anything that supports the protocol just works.

Every AI remembers
Mention a decision in one app, recall it in another. Preferences, projects, and context follow you across every assistant — and auto-capture only runs where you switch it on.
Your memories never leave your machine
Most memory products are a database in someone else's cloud. Mnem is the opposite.
Local by architecture
Memories, settings, and API tokens live on your Mac and nowhere else. There is no server-side memory store — we couldn't read your memories if we wanted to.
A tiny cloud, on purpose
Our cloud does exactly three jobs: identity, billing, and license issuance. It stores your email, subscription state, and license and device IDs. That's the whole list.
You decide what's remembered
Auto-capture is opt-in, per app. A never-store topics list keeps sensitive subjects out of memory entirely, and capture modes let you dial recording up or down.
No telemetry by default
The app sends no analytics or usage data out of the box. The only routine network call it makes is a periodic license check.
Read the privacy policy — it's short, because there isn't much we collect.
Built like an instrument, not a database
Live memory-field widget
A living, glowing view of what Mnem knows, right in your menu bar. Watch memories form, strengthen, and connect as you work.
One-click connections
The Connections panel writes the right MCP config for each tool — Cursor, Claude Desktop, Zed, VS Code, and more. No JSON wrangling.
Opt-in auto-capture
Mnem can capture exchanges automatically, but only where you turn it on. Pause or scope it any time — nothing is recorded silently.
Works with every MCP client
Mnem is a standard MCP server. If a tool speaks MCP, it can recall and remember — including tools that don't exist yet.
Never-store topics
List the subjects Mnem must never remember — clients, health, whatever you choose — and they never enter the memory store.
Model-agnostic
Your memory belongs to you, not to a model vendor. Switch apps and models freely; your context comes with you.
One memory. Every AI. Yours.
