Engrim – A universal, local-first SQLite memory engine for AI CLIs

In plain words

Engrim is a local-first SQLite memory engine for AI coding assistants that stores project context, architectural decisions, and constraints without cloud dependency. It works across Google Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, enabling developers to switch between models while preserving project state. Built on SQLite and stored locally at the project level, Engrim eliminates repeated context loss and reduces token waste across AI interactions.

The Universal Cross-Model & Cross-Agent Episodic Memory Store. A local-first, project-scoped SQLite memory engine that allows developers to freely switch between models and environments ( Google Antigravity , Claude Code , Cursor MCP , Windsurf ) on the SAME project without losing architectural decisions, user constraints, or project state. "Why pay for 200,000 tokens of forgotten noise on every turn? The models are disposable utilities; your project's decisions are not." As context windows scale to 1M+ tokens, developers face attention dilution : reasoning degrades, cost multiplies with every conversational turn, and clearing context causes total amnesia. Tested across 105 continuous…from github.com

  Linggen – A local-first memory layer for your AI (Cursor, Zed, Claude)Dec 2025 · github.com · ▲36

  Hi HN, Working with multiple projects, I got tired of re-explaining our complex multi-node system to LLMs. Documentation helped, but plain text is hard to search without indexing and doesn't work across projects. I built Linggen to solve this. My Workflow: I use the Linggen VS Code extension to "init my day." It calls the Linggen MCP to load memory instantly. Linggen indexes all my docs like it’s remembering them—it is awesome. One click loads the full architectural context, removing the "cold start" problem. The Tech: Local-First: Rust + LanceDB. Code and embeddings stay on your machine. No…

  Retain – A unified knowledge base for all your AI coding conversationsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲45

  Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

  Engram gives AI coding agents persistent memory across sessions. 2,500 npm installs in the first five days. The problem: every Claude Code or Cursor session starts from zero. You re-explain your architecture, conventions, past decisions. CLAUDE.md helps but it's manual and doesn't scale. Engram runs as a native MCP server. One command to install, SQLite backend, no infrastructure. Three tiers of memory: Explicit: things you tell it to remember Implicit: behavioral patterns extracted from how you work (low confidence, reinforced over time) Synthesized: meta-observations generated during…
