System Internals

Private by Design

Your memories, your machine, your control. SuperLocalMemory never sends data anywhere.

100% Local Storage

All data is stored in a single SQLite file on your machine. No cloud databases, no remote servers, no external storage.

Zero API Keys Required

SuperLocalMemory uses local embedding models for semantic search. No OpenAI, no Anthropic, no external API calls for core functionality.

No Telemetry

We collect zero usage data, zero analytics, zero crash reports from the tool itself. What happens on your machine stays on your machine.

No Network Calls

The memory system operates entirely offline. It works on air-gapped machines, in secure environments, and behind corporate firewalls.

Regulated Environment Support

Suitable for regulated environments where code context cannot leave the organization. No data processor agreements needed — there is no processor.

Open Source (AGPL v3)

Full source code is public and auditable. Verify every line. No hidden data collection, no obfuscated network calls.

Data Architecture

Storage Single SQLite file (~/.claude-memory/memory.db). Portable, backupable, deletable.
Embeddings Local embedding models for semantic vectors. No API calls for search or retrieval.
Learning Local LightGBM model in learning.db. Behavioral data is isolated and never exported.
MCP Transport stdio by default. HTTP on localhost for tools that require it. No external network connections.
Deletion Delete the SQLite files and all data is gone. No cloud residue, no backup servers to purge.
