memex

Search, browse, and revisit your local agent history. Memex indexes conversations from coding tools so you and your agents can find previous work, read the original transcripts, and resume sessions in their original tool where supported.

Keyword search uses BM25. Optional local embeddings add semantic and hybrid search. You can also search saved Claude and Codex memories, query history across machines over SSH, and track token usage from local logs.

Install

brew install memex

Or use the installer:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nicosuave/memex/main/scripts/setup.sh | sh

See installation and updates for Arch Linux, Nix, Cargo, source builds, and upgrade behavior.

Quickstart

memex index                              # Index local agent history
memex                                    # Browse sessions in the terminal
memex search "deployment rollback" --format text
memex session SESSION_ID                 # Read a transcript page

In the TUI, select a session to read it or use its resume action to continue in the original agent. Resume requires that agent to be installed and its session data to remain available. See the engine support table for exceptions.

Indexing discovers supported sources automatically. To select specific engines:

memex index --only-source claude --only-source codex
memex search "deployment rollback" --source codex --project my-project

Search defaults to conversations and JSONL output. Embeddings, plaintext reasoning, and token tracking are off by default. Searches refresh stale indexes automatically; for background indexing, run memex daemon enable --continuous.

Engine support

Support varies by capability. History means indexing, searching, and reading locally available conversations. Resume opens an existing session in its original tool. Import into creates a conversation in another tool using the experimental transfer feature.
