Basic Memory gives AI conversations a memory that persists, so you stop re-explaining your project each session. Notes are kept as local Markdown files, which means you can read and edit them yourself. The maintainer is basicmachines-co, the install is uvx basic-memory over stdio, and the licence is AGPL 3.0, which matters mainly if you modify it and offer it as a service. The repository has 4.4 thousand stars and was last pushed on 30 October 2026. We would suggest it to people who already keep notes in Markdown or Obsidian and want the agent to read and write the same files. A memory the agent writes can accumulate wrong facts, so skim it from time to time. It is worth comparing with an Obsidian-centred skill if your vault is the main store. We have not used it over a long project.
