For people who write in markdown
Your notes are files.
Give them a memory.
Obsidian, Logseq, Zettlr, Foam, or a plain folder of .md — if your notes are markdown files, Mnemosyne reads them. Right where they live, they become a memory you query by meaning, across years of writing, and 100% local. It doesn't replace your editor; it plugs into it.
We speak the same language
Local-first, plain files, zero lock-in.
That's your DNA. It's ours too. Your notes are markdown files on your disk — Mnemosyne reads them right where they are, no account, no server, no mandatory cloud. You can unplug everything tomorrow: your files haven't moved a single byte.
No proprietary lock, no export to negotiate. The same standard that made you pick files over a closed database.
What changes
From "where did I already write this?" to "just ask".
Keyword search finds what you already remember. Retrieval by meaning finds what you forgot you wrote — the note from two years ago that answers today's question, even without the right word.
And this memory doesn't sit in a corner: it feeds the AI you plug in — yours, local, or via your own key. Your assistant stops starting from scratch. It works from what you've already thought.
What it looks like
Your notes, as living memory.
You already write everything down, in plain text. Only the memory was missing.
