Stop starting over.

Today's AI memory is rented — locked to one provider, living in their cloud. Memrith gives you one you own: the continuity layer for AI — a local, editable model of your work and thought that grows across months and years. Your AI draws on it to answer in context, and it carries with you when you switch models. You stay in charge of what it remembers. The model can change. Your memory doesn't. Switch providers, switch models, even run a local one — your continuity stays intact.

Rent vs own

Rent the intelligence.
Own the memory.

The model you use is a commodity — you'll rent it, and swap it for a better one. The memory you build is the durable asset. With Memrith it's a file on your machine: editable, exportable, never trained on, and yours to keep, even if we disappear. Most "AI memory" is rented inside someone's cloud. This isn't.

The long arc

The longer it remembers,
the more it knows.

Most software is at its best on day one. Memrith is the opposite. The depth is the product, and it compounds because you keep showing up. Day one, it knows nothing. A year in, it knows the arc.

Day 1

Connect your AI key.

You write your first entry, or upload the documents that matter. Memrith starts reading. There's nothing to configure and no schema to design — just things you've already thought about, going in.

Month 3

Memrith has read 90 days of you.

Your active projects, the people who recur, the questions you've been chewing on. The AI you talk to draws on all of it instead of meeting you fresh every time you open a window.

Year 1

Memrith holds the arc.

The things you were working on in February that you finished in July. The question you asked in May that you answered in October. Continuity you own — not rented from one provider, and not lost the day you switch models.

The product, plainly

Notes are inputs.
Understanding is the output.

Most apps store the things you write. Memrith reads them and builds something new — a long-running, editable model of what you've thought, decided, and learned. The memory is the product. The chat is just one way to talk to it.

Memory that compounds

Every entry, document, and conversation adds to a single evolving model — not isolated notes, not a chat history that resets. The AI reads your past before it answers your present.

You can edit what it knows

The AI extracts memories from your writing, but they aren't sacred. Open any memory, rename it, lock it, merge it with another, or delete it. Your understanding is the source of truth — not the AI's guesses.

Trace anything back to its source

Every memory shows which entry, upload, or conversation produced it. No black-box claims. No invented context. You can always ask "why does it think that?" and get a real answer.

A dedicated memory per project

Beyond personal use: dedicated memory for research, books, consulting engagements, and other long-running work. Each one is its own context — its own sources, its own understanding, its own continuity over months.

Two ways to use Memrith

Personal memory.
Project memory.

Memrith holds one or several long-running contexts at once — your life, a book you're writing, a research thread, a consulting engagement. Each has its own memory that builds over time. You move between them; they don't bleed into each other.

Personal memory

Continuity over time

Builds an evolving understanding of you — your values, decisions, patterns, the people who matter. Inputs are things you write; the memory is your life, accumulated and connected.

  • Free-form entries — no templates, no friction
  • Memories, concepts, and themes extracted with sources
  • Weekly reflections that trace patterns over time
  • Conversations grounded in your real history
Project memory

Operational understanding

Builds an evolving understanding of a project — its sources, its themes, its open questions. For research, long-running work, and anything that outlasts a single conversation.

  • Documents and notes as primary input
  • Themes surfaced from across multiple sources
  • Cross-source connections in the memory map
  • Chat that knows the whole project, not just the prompt
How it works

Memory built together.
Owned by you.

Memrith treats memory as a collaboration. The AI proposes — you decide what stays, what gets corrected, and what evolves. Continuity compounds because the system remembers, and you keep it honest.

1
You write or upload

Whatever you'd normally write down or collect — journal entries, PDFs, documents. Here it's raw input the AI reads, not a file you keep and maintain.

2
AI extracts memory, with sources

Concepts, memories, themes — each linked back to the input it came from. You can see exactly what informed every claim.

3
You correct and curate

Rename, lock, merge, delete. The memory evolves as a collaboration between you and the AI — not an autonomous process you have to trust blindly.

4
Conversations build on themselves

Anything you chat about pulls from the full memory — not just the current session. What this conversation produces gets folded back in, so the next one starts where this one ended.

Ownership, not just privacy

Your memory.
Your keys.
Your machine.

Local-first isn't just about privacy — it's about ownership of the thing you've built. The memory format is AI-readable and exportable, so the understanding you accumulate is portable to any AI, any time. If you stop using Memrith, your memory leaves with you. AI calls go directly from your device to the provider you choose, using your own key.

Portable intelligence

Export your entire memory as structured JSON, Markdown, or text — a single file that any AI can read. Migration isn't an afterthought; it's a guarantee.

Your own AI key

Memrith uses your personal AI provider key. You pay the provider directly based on actual usage. No Memrith subscription, no recurring app fee.

No Memrith servers

No Memrith accounts. No cloud sync. No telemetry collected by Memrith — crash reporting is strictly opt-in and off by default. AI calls go directly from your device to your chosen provider — subject to that provider's own privacy policy. Your memory is never used to train Memrith or sold to third parties.

Why not just use free memory?

Free memory is locked in.
Yours shouldn't be.

ChatGPT and Claude remember you now — but only inside their own walls, only as facts, and never as a file you own. That's the difference.
