Why TrueMemory

It finds signal in the noise. Your AI sees thousands of messages. TrueMemory figures out which ones actually matter and throws away the rest. No manual tagging, no prompt engineering. It just knows.

It gets sharper over time. It's not a static database. It's a living memory that grows with you. It resolves contradictions when you change your mind, updates stale facts, and consolidates what it knows. The longer you use it, the better it gets.

It works without you thinking about it. TrueMemory automatically captures memories from your conversations and automatically injects the right ones into your next session. You never have to store or search for anything manually. It just happens.

It's 100% local. One SQLite file on your machine. Your memories never leave your device. No cloud, no API keys needed. Your data is yours. (Anonymous usage telemetry is the only exception — never memory content — and one env var turns it off. Details.)

Without TrueMemory: "What framework are we using?" Asked for the 12th time this week. Your agent starts every session with amnesia. It doesn't know your name, your stack, or anything you told it yesterday.

With TrueMemory: Your agent already knows you use FastAPI, prefer Pydantic v2, and that your auth middleware lives in src/auth/. It remembers your corrections, your preferences, and your decisions. Across every session, forever.

How TrueMemory Compares

All benchmarks independently reproducible. Scripts included in benchmarks/.

Quick Start

For Claude Code / Claude CLI / Cursor / Codex CLI / Gemini CLI

curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buildingjoshbetter/TrueMemory/main/install.sh | sh

Installs everything in an isolated environment. Downloads ~1.5GB of AI models. No data leaves your machine. No sudo required.

That's it. TrueMemory remembers your conversations automatically from here. Need help? Join our Discord.

If TrueMemory saves you time, a ⭐ helps other devs find it.

For developers (Python library)

pip install truememory

from truememory import Memory

m = Memory()
m.add("Prefers dark mode and TypeScript", user_id="alex")
print(m.search("preferences", user_id="alex"))

Tiers

Same architecture, three tiers. All included in a single install. Switch anytime by saying "switch to Pro" or "switch to Base."

Edge works everywhere. Base is the strongest fully-offline tier. Pro adds AI-powered query expansion for the highest scores.

Benchmarks

Tested across three major benchmarks with all systems sharing the same answer model (GPT-4.1-mini), judge (GPT-4o-mini, 3x majority vote), and scoring pipeline.

Reproduce any result yourself

Every benchmark script is self-contained and runs on Modal.

• LoCoMo Scripts — 8 systems (TrueMemory, Mem0, Zep, Engram, etc.)
• LoCoMo Results — per-category breakdowns, latency, cost
• LoCoMo Eval Config — exact models, prompts, parameters
• LongMemEval Scripts — oracle + strict variants
• LongMemEval Results — 6 TM Pro runs + 5 competitor results
• BEAM-1M Script — 35 conversations at 1M+ tokens
• BEAM-10M Script — 10 conversations at 10M tokens
• BEAM Results — 3 runs (1M) + 1 run (10M)

All benchmarks use the same eval pipeline. Nothing is hidden. Full details: LoCoMo | LongMemEval | BEAM

Works With

Claude Code · Claude CLI · Cursor · Codex CLI · Gemini CLI · Claude Desktop

Lifecycle hooks capture conversations automatically. No manual work needed. Your memories stay local in a single SQLite file.

Python API

from truememory import Memory

m = Memory()

m.add("Prefers dark mode and TypeScript", user_id="alex")
m.add("Works at Anthropic as a senior engineer", user_id="alex")
m.add("Always sign commits with GPG", directive=True)  # directives auto-load every session

results = m.search("What are Alex's preferences?", user_id="alex")
results = m.search_deep("career history?", user_id="alex")  # multi-round, higher accuracy
