The More You Use It, the Smarter It Gets
Basic Memory doesn't just store what you tell it — it connects ideas across conversations, projects, and tools. Mention someone on Monday, ask about their project on Friday. It's already linked.
Everything your AI knows lives in plain text files you can open, read, and edit. Spot something wrong? Fix it yourself — your AI sees the change instantly.
See what users are saying
From researchers to developers and writers, Basic Memory helps knowledge workers build lasting understanding through AI conversations.
"Basic Memory changed my whole relationship with LLMs... I switched from GPT and Gemini to exclusively Claude and Claude Code because of this integration and am completely revamping all our companies processes around a basic memory workflow now."
"Basic memory is the missing 'wow' factor in AI chatbots—now I can't imagine Claude or Claude Code without it."
"Absolutely thrilled with Basic Memory! An exceptional product I can't work without anymore!"
"I don't code without Basic Memory anymore. It's such a time saver to be able to refer to projects I don't currently have active and keep a running log of all of my learnings and ProTips. Absolutely love it."
"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."
