remem: Local-first memory for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex

Stop re-explaining your project every new coding-agent session.

Language: English | 简体中文

remem automatically captures, distills, searches, and injects engineering memory across Claude Code and OpenAI Codex CLI sessions. Decisions, bug-fix rationale, project patterns, and preferences stay available through hooks, MCP, CLI, and a localhost REST API.

A new Claude Code session recalls the earlier root cause, commit, and open TODO with memory citations and no re-explaining.

What remem gives you

• Automatic session capture and background LLM distillation.
• Project-scoped recall across Claude Code and Codex using one local store.
• Searchable decisions, bug fixes, architecture notes, preferences, and raw

session evidence.

• Source attribution, staleness labels, suppression, review queues, and

injection audits.

• SQLite with SQLCipher encryption by default for fresh installs.
• MCP, CLI, and authenticated localhost REST access from one Rust runtime.

remem prioritizes memory quality. Automatic capture is the primary path; manual savememory calls supplement it when a decision needs to be recorded immediately.
