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.
