What Is Eternal Recall?

Eternal Recall is a persistent memory system that gives AI assistants like Claude the ability to remember you across conversations, sessions, and months.

Unlike built-in "memory" features that use simple database timers (delete after 30 days) or black-box systems you can't inspect, Eternal Recall is built on ACT-R—a cognitive architecture from Carnegie Mellon University that models how human memory actually works.

The result? An AI that remembers your projects, preferences, and context—with memories that naturally decay over time (but are never deleted) just like your own brain.

Built on Real Science

ACT-R Cognitive Architecture

ACT-R is 50+ years of cognitive research from Carnegie Mellon University on how human memory actually works. It's used by the US Military, NASA, and AI research labs to model human cognition—how we learn, remember, and forget.

I'm the first to apply it to AI memory.

50 years of proven research on human memory—now powering how your AI remembers you.

❌ Other Systems

  • Database timers ("delete after 30 days")
  • Black box you can't inspect
  • Cloud-based, privacy concerns
  • Subscription required
  • Binary: remembered or forgotten

✅ Eternal Recall

  • Cognitive decay (natural fade)
  • Visual dashboard you control
  • 100% local, your data
  • Pay once, own forever
  • Accessibility spectrum (like human memory)

Features

💾

Persistent Memory

Your AI remembers across sessions, days, weeks, and months. No more explaining your projects from scratch. No more repeating your preferences. Your context carries forward automatically.

  • Automatic context loading on every new conversation
  • Project-aware responses without prompting
  • Preference learning that actually persists
  • Cross-session continuity
📊

Visual Dashboard

See exactly what your AI knows. A beautiful interface that shows your memories, their accessibility scores, decay curves, and connections. No more guessing what the AI remembers.

  • Real-time memory visualization
  • ACT-R decay curves you can see
  • Search and filter memories
  • Edit or remove any memory
  • Activity feed and statistics
🕸️

Knowledge Graph

Memories don't exist in isolation. They connect and activate together, forming a web of understanding. When you mention a project, related memories light up automatically.

  • Spreading activation (like neural networks)
  • Visual graph exploration
  • Entity relationships
  • Context clustering
🔒

100% Local & Private

All your data stays on YOUR computer. Plain text files you can read, backup, and control. No cloud servers. No tracking. No subscription fees. You own your memories completely.

  • Runs entirely on your machine
  • Plain markdown files you can read
  • No internet required after install
  • Export/backup anytime
  • Pay once, own forever

Automatic Disaster Recovery

AI made a mistake? Roll back instantly. Continuous automatic snapshots protect your data—no manual saves needed. Undo anything with one click.

  • Continuous automatic protection
  • One-click rollback
  • Point-in-time recovery
  • Proven: Recovered from real disaster in 5 minutes

How It Works

1

Install

Simple one-click installer. Works with Claude (more AI platforms coming). No coding required.

2

Connect

Eternal Recall connects to your AI assistant via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Secure, local communication.

3

Use

Just talk to your AI normally. Memories are captured automatically. Important information persists.

4

Remember

Next conversation, your AI already knows you. No setup. No prompting. It just remembers.

Who Is It For?

💻

Developers

Your AI remembers your codebase, your architecture decisions, your debugging history. Context that compounds.

📚

Students

Study assistance that remembers what you've learned, what you struggle with, and how you prefer to learn.

✍️

Writers

Your AI remembers your characters, your plot points, your style. Never lose creative context again.

🏢

Small Business

AI that knows your business, your processes, your clients. An assistant that actually assists.

🔧

Hobbyists

Projects that span months? Your AI tracks progress, remembers decisions, and picks up where you left off.

🛡️

Privacy-Conscious

Keep your data local. No cloud. No surveillance. Own your AI's memory completely.

FAQ

What AI does it work with?

Currently optimized for Claude via MCP (Model Context Protocol). ChatGPT and other platforms are on the roadmap.

Is it really local-only?

Yes. All data stays on your computer in plain text files. No cloud servers, no tracking, no subscriptions. You can read your memories in any text editor.

What about my privacy?

Your memories never leave your machine. We can't see them even if we wanted to. That's the point.

Is it hard to set up?

One-click installer for Windows. Mac and Linux coming with stretch goals. No coding required.

What's ACT-R?

A cognitive architecture from Carnegie Mellon University that models how human memory works. It's been validated for 50+ years. We're the first to apply it to AI.

Why Kickstarter?

To finish the project properly—documentation, installers, support systems—before launch. And to give early supporters the best pricing.
