Learn how it works.
See why your AI needs Basic Memory.
See into the black box
Every piece of AI context is a file you can read and edit. No mystery, no lock-in—just plain Markdown you own forever.
Knowledge that compounds
Unlike chat history that disappears, Basic Memory creates a semantic knowledge graph. Every note connects to related ideas, revealing patterns and insights that grow smarter over time.
Works with your AI assistant
Connect to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code, and more via the Model Context Protocol. Your AI assistant reads your entire knowledge history instantly.
Your web editor for knowledge
Write and organize notes from any browser. Search your knowledge, make connections, and watch your ideas grow—no installation required.
Cloud or local
Start with Basic Memory Cloud for instant access from any browser, or run locally on your machine. Sync between them, or keep everything offline—your choice.
Plain Markdown
Human-readable files, not proprietary formats. Your knowledge works in Obsidian, VS Code, or any text editor. Export, backup, or migrate anytime.
