engram

What it does

Engram is a local-first persistent memory layer for AI agents, backed by SQLite and LanceDB with Ollama embeddings. It stores typed memories (facts, decisions, preferences, events, relationships) across sessions and surfaces them via semantic search and context-aware recall. Memory decay, deduplication, agent scoping, and graph relations are built in.

Why it's useful

Runs entirely local with no token cost and no cloud dependency, so memory persists through context compaction and session crashes without sending data to an external service.
