agi-memo

agi-memo gives you a small command called mem. Use it to jot down things you do not want to forget—Wi‑Fi passwords, locker codes, a birthday—and read them back later. Everything runs in your terminal (the black text window). You do not need to sign up for a website or open an app.

What you need

• A computer with Node.js installed (the LTS version is fine).
  If you are not sure, open a terminal and run node -v. If you see a version number, you are good.

Install

Install agi-memo once, globally, so the mem command works everywhere:

npm install -g agi-memo

To update to the newest version later:

npm install -g agi-memo@latest

How to save a note

Think of a sentence with the word is in the middle (space, is, space):

• Everything before is → the label (what you are remembering about)
• Everything after is → the value (what you want to store)

Example:

mem "my wifi password is coffee123"

That stores the label wifi password and the value coffee123.

Why “my wifi password”?
If your sentence starts with my , that word is dropped from the label so the name stays short. You can also write without it:

mem "bike lock code is 4821"

Here the label is bike lock code.

More examples:

| You type | Label saved | Value saved | |----------|-------------|-------------| | mem "my sister birthday is March 26" | sister birthday | March 26 | | mem "bank pin is 9012" | bank pin | 9012 |

If it does not save:
The command needs exactly one is in the sentence (see the format above). If you use a different pattern, mem will show a short reminder of the format.

Updating:
Saving again with the same label replaces the old value—like editing a note.

How to read your notes

Show everything you saved:

mem list

Search by part of the label (useful when you have many notes):

mem find wifi

This shows any note whose label contains wifi, for example wifi password.

Where your notes are kept

Your notes are stored in a small file on your computer, only for your user account:

| System | Typical location | |--------|------------------| | Linux / macOS | ~/.config/agi-memo/store.json | | Windows | %APPDATA%\agi-memo\store.json |

~ means your home folder. On Windows, %APPDATA% is your user AppData folder (npm shows the full path if you need it).

• Someone else logging into the same computer with their own account has their own file—they do not see your notes from mem list.
• Nothing is uploaded to a server by this tool: your data stays on your machine unless you copy the file yourself.

Privacy in plain words

• Per person: Each OS user gets their own store file.
• Local only: No account with us, no cloud sync built in—just a local file.
• You choose what to store: Do not store secrets you are not comfortable keeping in a plain text file on disk.
