    Lore▲130

    I built Lore because I kept losing knowledge — curl commands, quick notes from standups, and that one thing I told myself I'd remember. It lives in the system tray, a global shortcut pops it up, you type naturally, and it stores or retrieves automatically. Everything runs locally via Ollama + LanceDB — no cloud, no API keys. It classifies your input (thought, question, todo, instruction) and uses a RAG pipeline to answer recall queries from your own stored context. It's free and open source under MIT license, and even though its in very early version me and my friends have been using it for…

    Hi HN! Creator here. I built Story Keeper to solve a problem I kept hitting with AI agents: they remember everything but lose coherence over long conversations. The Core Idea Instead of storing chat history and retrieving chunks (RAG approach), Story Keeper maintains a living narrative: Characters: Who you are (evolving), who the agent is Arc: Where you started → where you're going Themes: What matters to you Context: The thread connecting everything Think of it as the difference between reading meeting notes vs. being in the relationship. Technical Approach ~200 lines of Python. Three…
