Engrim introduces local SQLite memory engine for artificial intelligence command-line tools
A local-first memory tool for AI command-line interfaces was released, according to Hacker News.
The short version
- Engrim was announced as a local-first, project-scoped SQLite memory engine built for AI CLIs.[Hacker News]
- The tool pairs SQLite FTS5 keyword search with model2vec static vector embeddings for retrieval.[Hacker News]
- Developer claims cite testing across 105 continuous sessions with zero reported regressions or context amnesia.[Hacker News]
- All records are kept locally at ~/.engrim/memory.db without telemetry or cloud synchronization.[Hacker News]
Key facts
- Engrim operates as a project-scoped, local-first SQLite memory engine for AI CLIs.[Hacker News]
- The retrieval system blends SQLite FTS5 lexical search alongside model2vec static vector embeddings.[Hacker News]
- Storage is confined to a local database at ~/.engrim/memory.db with no cloud sync or tracking.[Hacker News]
What remains uncertain
- The reported results of zero context amnesia and zero regressions over 105 sessions rely entirely on self-reported developer testing.[Hacker News]
