Local memory infrastructure for agents

Every agent remembers a different you.

dachshund finds the memory Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and 12 other agents already keep on your Mac. It turns that scattered context into one portable Markdown library, then serves it back through MCP.

01 / Import before adoption

The memory was already there.

You should not have to teach a new tool your whole history. On first launch, dachshund finds the memory formats your agents already write and starts with something useful.

Read-only discovery

See what this Mac already knows.

dachshund inspects known agent memory locations in place. Nothing is moved, rewritten, or uploaded.

Cross-agent echoes

One memory.
Every source.

When three agents learn the same preference, keep one useful memory and all three receipts.

Files over opaque state

Yours without dachshund.

Your memory stays as ordinary Markdown. SQLite is only a rebuildable index.

02 / One quiet switchboard

From scattered files to shared context.

The durable source of truth is a folder of Markdown. dachshund adds a local search index and a loopback-only MCP bridge. No model, embedding service, or hosted account sits in the middle.

03 / Crossing the tool boundary

Start in one agent.
Keep it in all of them.

A failed approach in Codex is context Claude Code should not have to rediscover. dachshund turns one agent's hard-won lesson into a memory every connected agent can ask for.

Shared memory Imported + connected

Ship the reader before the editor.

The reader has to feel complete on its own before authoring, collaboration, or publishing enters the first release.

04 / The shape of memory

Not another vanity dashboard.

Pulse shows what your agents have actually remembered: where memory comes from, what overlaps, and what is getting stale. It is a map of your context, not a scoreboard.

05 / Ambient, not in the way

One shortcut from thought to memory.

dachshund lives in the macOS menu bar. Search what your agents know, glance at recent echoes, or write a shared memory without opening a second workspace. The panel opens on your current display and stays above the Space you are using. In the full app, keep navigation in the top bar or switch to a Magpie-style sidebar.

⌘ K: Search every memory
⌘ \: Switch tabs and sidebar

06 / MCP without a cloud layer

Memory that travels with the question.

Once connected, any agent can search, request a prompt-ready context block, write a durable memory, archive a shared copy, and inspect the library.

memory_search

Find the right context

Search the local library and keep source provenance attached to every result.

→ query in, sources out

memory_context

Build a prompt block

Return a compact context block that is ready to place in front of an agent.

→ relevant, not exhaustive

memory_remember

Write once

Persist a durable decision, preference, or lesson as readable Markdown.

→ shared, durable

memory_forget

Archive the shared copy

Remove a memory from the shared library without deleting the agent's original file.

→ source stays intact

memory_stats

Inspect the library

See memory, agent, source and echo counts before an agent starts working.

→ grounded in what exists

No hosted dependency

The bridge runs over loopback and uses a short-lived token held in an owner-only runtime file.
