From the Cairn Remembers repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Cairn
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.CairnRemembers/cairn-remembers -->
Build knowledge. Leave signals. — Tools for modern explorers.
Local-first episodic memory for AI agents — and for you.
<!-- hero image slots here: assets/cairn-hero.png (the galaxy — from the brand pass) -->
A cairn is a stack of stones that marks a trail. This one marks the trail of your thinking: every decision, dead end, and reason becomes a node you — and any model — can find again, across sessions and across model generations.
- Local-first — everything lives in one SQLite file at ~/.cairn/. No cloud, no account, no telemetry.
- Model-agnostic — any agent that runs a shell command or speaks MCP: Claude, GPT/Codex, Gemini, local models.
- Append-only — memories are voided, never deleted. The record is the record.
- Yours — Cairn sends nothing off your machine. Your chat still goes to whatever model you chose, exactly as it would without Cairn — use a local model and nothing leaves at all.
Two ways in:
- 🧑 A person setting this up? Keep reading — Quick start takes about 5 minutes. Every option and fix: QUICKSTART.md.
- 🤖 An AI agent installing Cairn for someone? → SETUPFORAGENTS.md is written for you (install, consent, attribution).

Keep the decisions, reasons and unfinished work you want to return to. Cairn stores them in a local vault that you and your connected AI tools can read and add to. Each AI keeps its own memory and context. These demos show the optional dashboard for exploring the record.
