Build like you always do.
Memory is already wired in.
A cartridge is a regular React app. The only difference: the SDK gives you a memory that's already connected — you ingest and query the vault , under FGAC , with no backend to stand up. Here's the process, from prompt to cartridge.
1
Arm your IDE
Tell your assistant (Cursor, Claude, …) to use the boilerplate,
@mnemosyne_os/sdk, the MCP server and the
llms.txt from the repo. Have it clone a reference MIT cartridge
and read its src/ — it codes against the real thing, not against its memory.
The starting prompt:
Prompt Build a Mnemosyne OS cartridge: [describe your app]. Read thellms.txtat the root of github.com/yaka0007/Mnemosyne-Neural-OS, clone the MIT cartridgeMnemoReaderand read itssrc/. Connect to the vault with@mnemosyne_os/sdk(and the MCP if needed), under FGAC. Follow the reference patterns, don't guess the API.
2
Find the idea — and spot what goes into memory
Before a single line of code, just one question: what does your app need to remember? Notes, decisions, history, entities… That's what you ingest. Everything else is ordinary UI.
3
Ask, and build
Describe the feature; the assistant codes against the SDK. ingest() to
write into the vault, query() / ask() to read
by meaning, all under FGAC and at limited scope. You iterate
exactly like on any other app.
4
Memory is the back-end
No database to provision, no API to host, no auth to wire. The local vault is your persistence — already there, already encrypted, already governed by the human. You get the whole back-end for free, and you never manage anyone's data for them.

Download, request your free license, and get started.
The OS is free; the founder license is free for devs who build, with $5 of cloud credits to test without an API key. The full reference for the SDK, the sandbox covenant and the open-core is on the developers page.
