Remember This transcribes your voice memos, captions your photos, and creates journal entries in your Obsidian vault—then launches Claude Code to organize and act on it for you.
Privacy-first • Local • Markdown • Powered by iCloud, Claude Code and Obsidian
Auto-transcribe voice memos with Whisper. Context for journal entries.
Auto-caption photos with Ollama. Context for journal entries.
Daily/weekly/monthly/yearly rollups aggregating all life assets into auto-diary.
Once your context lives in plain Markdown, your AI agents finally have something real to work with.
Capture → Organize → Act
Photos, voice memos, and notes are added to your local vault automatically. Everything stays on your Mac.
Remember This structures them into Markdown context automatically using your own AI setup (Claude Code or compatible agents).
Your AI agents use that context to plan, draft, and execute tasks for you — privately, safely, on your terms.
🎙️ "Drew and Nancy are coming over for coffee this weekend"
Other inputs may go to /life-docs/, diary entries, or anywhere your CLAUDE.md specifies.
They're stateless question-answering systems. Every interaction starts from zero.
That's the context layer that's been missing. And that's what Remember This builds.
Not by chatting with it. By letting it watch your inputs and organize them automatically.
The result? A vault full of searchable, structured context that AI can actually use.
Mac app monitors your Voice Memos folder. New recordings are transcribed via Whisper and added to the queue automatically.
Monitors your Photos library via PhotoKit. Auto-captions photos with Ollama. Indexed metadata available for AI processing and timeline views.
Daily/weekly/monthly/yearly rollup notes that aggregate all life assets into auto-diary. Optional time tracking integration for detailed timestamps.
Your orientation board shows Past (3h/3d/3w), Now (current projects), and Future (3d/3w/3m reminders). All in one view.
Define your own workflow. Works with Claude Code or compatible AI agent systems. Tell your AI how to classify inputs, where to file them, and what summaries to generate.
Your vault stays local in Markdown files on your Mac. Local-first architecture with no telemetry. You control your sync method and API keys.
