I've been building with AI agents for a while and keep running into the same wall: memory solutions are either cloud-hosted (your data leaves your machine), heavy to self-host, or require an API key just to get started.
I want something that:
Runs fully local, no cloud
Stores memories as plain markdown files I can read/edit myself
Works with any agent framework via MCP
Costs nothing to run (uses Ollama for embeddings maybe)
Survives a machine restart
Does this exist and I'm missing it? Or is everyone else just living without persistent memory, or accepting the cloud dependency?
Asking because I've been building something like this and want to know if the problem is real for others or just me.
