InkVault

Local-first, user-owned persistent memory for your AI conversations, browsing, and work.

Keep the context behind your work: what you asked, what you learned, and the pages you opened. InkVault preserves supported AI sessions and the browser history you choose in a local SQLite vault, so you can find them again after the original tools have cleared their history.

Search your vault yourself in the Memory Atlas, or connect an AI tool through MCP so it can retrieve past context when you ask. Optional Windows screen capture adds a timeline of the apps you use and text from apps you choose. You control the sources, the vault folder, and the backups.

InkVault is free and MIT licensed. No account or telemetry. InkVault itself does not upload your archive. If you connect an AI client, memories returned to that client may be sent to its model provider under that client's settings.

Start your vault

You need uv and a terminal. Copy your supported local sessions and chosen browser history into a vault:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/sandoreclegane/inkvault inkvault sync

In a terminal, InkVault greets you, asks which browser profiles are yours before reading their history, shows progress while it builds search, and ends with a short summary. It downloads the search model on first use (about 130 MB). When everything saved, the Memory Atlas opens by itself. Add --no-open to skip that. For later visits, inkvault dashboard opens the Atlas again:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/sandoreclegane/inkvault inkvault dashboard

Search for something you remember, select a result, and read it in context. Add inkvault schedule to refresh and back up your vault nightly, or connect your AI tools to search it from a conversation.

What InkVault preserves

With a nightly schedule, InkVault reads the session files Claude Code and Codex already keep on disk, and the history of the browser profiles you chose, and copies in what's new: what you asked, what the assistant answered, what each session was called, and which pages you opened. Your AI tools can then search what they helped you with, and what you were reading, last month or last year, long after the original files are gone.

(how). Kept past the browser's own cleanup.

• Claude Code: every project, from ~/.claude/projects. Synced messages stay in your vault after source cleanup.
• Codex: every session it saved, from ~/.codex/sessions.
• Claude desktop app (agent mode, Windows): including prompts only its audit log kept.
• Your browsers: Chrome, Edge, Comet, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera and Firefox, only the profiles you say are yours

Only what's new since the last sync is added. Tool output and attachments are left out, and sign-in codes and tokens are cleaned out of web addresses (see Privacy).
