Your Portable AI Memory Vault
Save memories, decisions, preferences, facts, and skills once — every connected AI client recalls them through a single MCP server. Local-first by default; nothing leaves your machine unless you export it.
Overview
What Your Portable AI Memory Vault does
Save memories, decisions, preferences, facts, and skills once — every connected AI client recalls them through a single MCP server. Local-first by default; nothing leaves your machine unless you export it.
Every AI tool you use keeps its own private notion of what you've told it. Re-explaining the same project context to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Codex eats hours a week. 1AIVault is the canonical store every client reads from, so a memory you save in one tool is instantly readable from all the others.

How it works
From first launch to reusable memory
- 1
Install the 1AIVault desktop app on macOS, Windows, or Linux.
- 2
Point it at the AI tools you already use so conversations flow into the local vault.
- 3
Browse, search, and reuse that memory from the app or any connected MCP client.
- 4
Back up or transfer the vault file whenever you move machines.
FAQ
Common questions
Where does the vault actually live?
On your machine, in a single SQLite file with WAL mode enabled. You can back it up, copy it, or inspect it with any SQLite tool. Nothing leaves your computer unless you export it explicitly.
Can multiple AI tools write to the vault at the same time?
Yes. The MCP server serialises writes through SQLite, and the renderer picks up changes from any client within a couple of seconds while focused.
What's the difference between a memory and a decision?
They're rendering categories — both are entries in the same vault. Memory is a fact or note you want recalled; decision is a choice you've made and don't want relitigated. Claude Code's importer maps decisions to its project memory file, memories to user, preferences to feedback, facts to reference.
