Tired of a helper
that meets you
for the first time…
every time?

“It’s Theo. …Theo. I live here.”

“Nice to meet you.”The helper

In black and white, a tired man with a loosened tie shrugs at the camera beside a small grey box on his kitchen counter.Dramatization

There has got to be a better way!

Introducing

Mnemos!

A hand slides a smoked-glass cartridge, its Mnemos label facing up, into a slot marked Mnemos in a beige plastic appliance printed with the Hermes girl and the word Hermes.
It plugs right in…
In a 1980s living room a smiling father presents the cartoon woman, now standing where the beige appliance was. His daughter screams, hands to her cheeks.Results not typical
…and your Hermes remembers.

Just tell it once…

  1. On the living-room carpet, a girl in a mustard pinafore whispers to the cartoon woman kneeling beside her. What she saidMy recital’s Thursday.
    Dad promised the front row.

    Tell it in the living room…

  2. In the kitchen, a woman with feathered hair holds up a chunky beige handheld and smiles at the camera. Its screen shows the Mnemos and Hermes marks. A chat screen. Asked: what’s on Thursday? Answered: Mia’s recital. Theo promised her the front row.Real screen

    …and it knows in the kitchen…

    “What’s on Thursday?”

  3. In the den, the father sits in an armchair pointing at a wood-cabinet television while his daughter looks on. The screen shows the Mnemos mark beside the Hermes girl. A desktop app. Asked: anything I’m forgetting Thursday? Answered: Mia’s recital. You promised her the front row. Beside the chat, a cluster of memories is lit.Real screen

    …and in the den.

    “Anything I’m forgetting Thursday?”

Even the things you forgot to ask.

The screens are the real Mnemos plugin, recalling a real memory inside Hermes. The family, the clock and the wording of the answers were staged for television.

Let’s see that again.

The kitchen and the den, on the real app.

A MacBook Pro with the Hermes app full screen. On the left, the chat: Theo asks, anything I’m forgetting Thursday? Hermes answers, Mia’s recital. You promised her the front row. On the right, Mnemos’s picture of its memory, where one cluster of cells has lit up white.
An iPhone showing the same chat. Laura asks, what’s on Thursday? Hermes answers, Mia’s recital. Theo promised her the front row.
Real app
  1. On the phone, Laura asks.

    “What’s on Thursday?” It answers: “Mia’s recital. Theo promised her the front row.”

  2. At his desk, Theo asks.

    “Anything I’m forgetting Thursday?” It answers: “Mia’s recital. You promised her the front row.”

  3. Four memories came to mind.

    That’s the light beside the chat: the recital, recycling night, and two hot chocolates he promised and kept.

Hermes Agent with the Mnemos plugin, recorded as it ran and redrawn here at its normal size. The recall is real: the answers could only be given because the memory had come to mind. A stand-in model spoke them, the family is made up, and the phone is the Hermes app in a phone-sized window.

But wait, there’s more!

A man in a white lab coat and thick glasses holds a pointer to a beige computer monitor showing Mnemos’s picture of a memory. Not a real scientist Mnemos’s picture of a memory: a cluster of pale, cell-like lights joined by fine branching threads on black.Real memory

“Each little light is a memory. Mnemos ties them together… just like you do.”

  • It wakes up already knowing you.

    Each session, it reads back what it kept before you say a word.

  • It keeps thinking after you’ve gone to bed.

    A deeper pass runs every night. This is normal.

  • It remembers in its own words.

    What you told it, what you decided together, what it got wrong.

  • One file. On your machine.

    No company holds it, so no one elsewhere can switch it off.

  • Unplug it, and the memory stays.

    Uninstalling Mnemos leaves the file where it is. Deleting it is up to you.

And you can look inside!

Type mnemos log and its notebook opens, on your own machine.

Real notebook
The notebook’s Log. Today’s entries in order: a note for Theo about Mia’s recital, two journal entries, and a note about the car’s oil change. Below them, the memories formed on earlier days.

Its days.

Everything it kept, a day at a time: memories as they formed, journal entries, and its notes to you.

The real page, opened on the commercial’s made-up family. Its two journal entries and two notes were written for this picture, and the pointer is a simulation. “stand-in” is the model that played the part; yours shows its own.

But how does it work?

The way yours does. It’s modelled on how brains remember.

  1. It keeps it.

    In its own words. A new memory is held steady for its first three days.

  2. Use it, and it stays.

    Each recall brings it back, and it fades more slowly after.

  3. Before it goes, it’s asked.

    “This is fading. What did it teach you?”

  4. The lesson stays.

    Kept in its own words, and fading far more slowly than the details did.

Fading never deletes. A memory goes quiet, then into an archive, and a recall can still bring it back. One memory’s first 50 days, redrawn from Fig. 3 of the Mnemos README, which runs it on Mnemos’s own rules. Upkeep runs every four hours, with a deeper pass each night.

So what’s different?

It isn’t your memory system. It’s the agent’s.

What Mnemos is, and what it isn’t
It isIt isn’t
It isThe agent’s own memory.It decides what’s worth carrying and writes it in its own words. Nothing else writes in its place. It isn’tYour filing system.It won’t index your documents or search your code.
It isA memory that fades.What isn’t used goes quiet. What it taught is kept. It isn’tA recording of everything.Point a firehose at it, and what it’s for gets buried.

It isFor any agent that speaks MCP.Hermes, Claude Code, Codex and more. What each can take differs, and the guide says how. It isn’tMagic.Saved as plain files, the same memories did about as well on facts. What files don’t do is get the agent to keep them, or wake it with them.

And yes, we tested it.

On Claude Code, against the memory it comes with.
