BASIC
MEMORY
It's not what you put into it.
It's what you get out of it.
As you and your AI work, Basic Memory saves what matters: notes, prompts, and instructions that stay visible and ready to use.
Remember what’s possible.
Change the Way You Work
Keep your ideas alive, and let your AI grow with you.
Pick up where you left off
Never start from zero again
Basic Memory gives your AI a shared context that carries across every chat. Each conversation deepens the context. What you create today becomes tomorrow’s foundation. Start fresh, or import your entire chat history from the LLM of your choice, and Basic Memory will weave it right in. Your old conversations become part of your living context.
Launch work with full context
Save once, use everywhere
Save your prompts, personas, and instructions in Basic Memory, then launch them into any AI just by saying the word. Your tools stay in sync, and your ideas stay connected.
Use across LLMs
Your knowledge, multiple AIs
Write with Claude and ask ChatGPT for feedback. Code with Codex and redraft with Claude Code. Basic Memory lets you use the right tool for the right job, all working from the same knowledge base.
Read, edit, and build your knowledge
True collaboration with AI
Your notes and memories are secure, private, and fully accessible both to you and your AI. View and edit them on your personal webapp, or work locally. Basic Memory can sync with your own Markdown folders so everything stays editable in tools like Obsidian or VS Code.

A Way of Thinking
Basic Memory is built on four core principles that make knowledge durable, connected and human.
Plain Text
Clarity over complexity
Everything AI does starts with text. LLMs speak Markdown. So do humans. Basic Memory uses open, human-readable text that lasts. Nothing hidden, no black boxes.
Bidirectional
Knowledge flows both ways
AI writes, you edit. You write, AI reads. Basic Memory keeps you and your Ai working on the same living record. It's real collaboration, not just command-and-response.
Semantic Graph
Connections are where meaning lives
Every note strengthens the web between ideas. Basic Memory builds structure automatically, helping your AI find meanings, not keywords.
Always Yours
You own it. Seriously
Your ideas, your notes, your memory. Never trapped in a model or platform. Your knowledge belongs to you, always. And with local sync, your notes live on your machine as plain Markdown No exports required.

"Absolutely thrilled with Basic Memory! An exceptional product I can't work without anymore!"

"Basic Memory turned my scattered notes and half-finished ideas into something coherent. It remembers what matters and builds on it - so I don't have to start from scratch every time I sit down to work."
"Basic Memory enables true continuity of thought across sessions while keeping everything in standard files that users control completely. It's a rare example of technology that augments human capabilities without creating new dependencies."
