savemycontext 0.2.4

Self-hosted FastAPI backend and Linux/macOS service CLI for SaveMyContext

SaveMyContext Server

Self-hosted FastAPI backend and Linux/macOS service CLI for SaveMyContext.

Install As a Tool

Recommended user flow on Linux and macOS:

uv tool install savemycontext
smc install

The package name is savemycontext. It installs both smc and savemycontext command aliases; the docs use smc.

On Linux, smc install writes a systemd --user service. On macOS, it writes a per-user launchd agent. If one machine should serve other devices, use:

smc install --remote

Remote setup starts the backend, enables managed remote exposure, and prints a smc_conn_1_... connection string for the extension.

Useful commands:

smc status
smc logs -f
smc config path
smc doctor

Processing

SaveMyContext captures and stores conversations without an AI key. Add an OpenAI-compatible or Google key when you want richer summaries, classification, and graph extraction.

Recommended OpenRouter settings:

smc config set \
  --openai-api-key your_openrouter_key \
  --openai-base-url https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 \
  --openai-model google/gemma-4-31b-it:free \
  --openai-model-fallbacks google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it:free,google/gemma-3-27b-it:free,google/gemma-3-12b-it:free,google/gemma-3-4b-it:free,google/gemma-3n-e4b-it:free,google/gemma-3n-e2b-it:free,openai/gpt-4.1-mini

You can also edit the generated env file directly:

• Linux: ~/.config/savemycontext/savemycontext.env
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/savemycontext/savemycontext.env

Browser automation is experimental and disabled by default.

Vault And To-Do Versioning

SaveMyContext writes the Obsidian vault under markdown/SaveMyContext, keeps a shared Dashboards/To-Do List.md, and initializes a local git repository in that vault by default. Session notes, dashboards, graph files, and to-do updates are committed automatically.

Run In the Foreground

smc config init
smc run

Development

Run the local development server from source with:

uv sync --group dev
uv run python -m app.dev
