This project is free. It will always be free. But free does not mean it costs nothing to make.
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.
I am not a startup. There is no VC funding. No company behind this. It is just me, working on this in the margins of my day, after the kids are asleep, between family dinners, on weekends when I could be doing something else.
Every dollar that comes in through support goes toward the very real things that keep a project like this alive: the server that hosts this website, the domain name, the API credits for testing, the coffee that fuels late night coding sessions. And yes, it also helps my family. It helps me justify the hours I spend on this instead of taking on extra work elsewhere. It tells my wife that this thing I am building matters to people, that it is not just me staring at a terminal at 1 AM for no reason.
More than money, knowing that someone out there finds value in what I built, that is what keeps me 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.
The most direct way to support the project. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference for a solo developer with a family.
Support on Ko-fiIt takes one click and it helps more than you think. Stars give the project visibility, credibility, and signal to the community that Mnemosyne is worth paying attention to.
Star on GitHubTell another developer about Mnemosyne. Share it on X, in a Discord, at work. Word of mouth is how open source projects grow. Your recommendation means a lot.
Share on XOpen an issue, submit a PR, improve the docs, or file a bug report. Every contribution makes Mnemosyne better for everyone who uses it.
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.
