Supporting Mnemosyne
We're now an OpenSource Collective on OpenCollective! This project is free, open source, and community-driven. Your support helps keep development sustainable.
Who built this
My name is Abdias. I am a husband and a father. I have a wife and kids who mean everything to me. Every line of code I write, every late night debugging, every release I ship, they are the reason I do it. Not for clout. Not for GitHub stars. I do it because I want to build things that matter, things my kids can one day point at and say, my dad made that.
Mnemosyne started as a personal need. I was using AI agents that kept forgetting everything. Every session was a blank slate. It was frustrating. The cloud memory tools out there were expensive, slow, and sent my data to servers I did not control. I thought: this should be simple. A SQLite database. A few tables. Some vector search. Why is nobody doing this?
So I built it. What started as a weekend project became months of work. BEAM architecture. Hybrid search. Auto consolidation. MCP integration. Nearly 300 tests. Eight major phases in 24 days. I gave it away for free because I believe AI memory should not be locked behind a paywall. It should be fast, private, yours.
The OpenSource Collective
Mnemosyne has officially joined the OpenSource Collective on OpenCollective.com! This means transparent, community-driven funding with full financial transparency. Every dollar you contribute is tracked publicly on OpenCollective, so you always know where your support goes.
OpenCollective handles all the infrastructure: recurring donations, one-time contributions, expense tracking, and tax-deductible receipts where applicable. We keep building, you keep Mnemosyne free and independent.
What your support means
We're not a startup. There's no VC funding. No company behind this. It's a community project now, and every contribution goes toward the very real things that keep a project like this alive: server costs, domain hosting, API credits for testing, and sustaining the developers who maintain it.
More than money, knowing that someone out there finds value in what we built, that is what keeps us going. A star on GitHub. A kind message. A mention on X. Someone telling me they replaced their entire memory stack with Mnemosyne. Those moments are fuel.

Open an IssueEvery time someone supports this project, I show my wife. I tell my kids. It is not about the money. It is about knowing that something I built with my own two hands, in the quiet hours of the night, is making a difference for someone out there. That feeling is priceless.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading this. And if Mnemosyne has helped you in any way, thank you for letting me be part of your work.
