OpenCode Memory

A persistent memory system for AI coding agents that enables long-term context retention across sessions using local vector database technology.

Visual Overview

Core Features

Local vector database with SQLite, persistent project memories, automatic user profile learning, unified memory-prompt timeline, full-featured web UI, intelligent prompt-based memory extraction, multi-provider AI support (OpenAI, Anthropic), 12+ local embedding models, smart deduplication, and built-in privacy protection.

Getting Started

Add to your OpenCode configuration at ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "plugins": ["opencode-mem"]
}

The plugin downloads automatically on next startup. macOS users with Apple Silicon must install Homebrew SQLite and configure the custom path - see our Wiki for details.

Usage Examples

memory({ mode: "add", content: "Project uses microservices architecture" })
memory({ mode: "search", query: "architecture decisions" })
memory({ mode: "profile" })
memory({ mode: "list", limit: 10 })

Access the web interface at http://127.0.0.1:4747 for visual memory browsing and management.
