OpenChronicle

Open-source, local-first memory for any tool-capable LLM agent.

Think OpenAI Chronicle – but open, model-agnostic, inspectable, and hackable.

OpenChronicle gives AI agents a local, inspectable memory built from real screen and app context.

It runs on your Mac, captures structured context from what you’re doing, and turns it into persistent Markdown memory: what you’re working on, what you’ve decided, which tools you use, and which people or projects matter.

Any agent that can call tools can use it. MCP clients work especially well today, but OpenChronicle is meant to be a general memory layer for tool-using agents – not something tied to one protocol, one model provider, or one app.

Why OpenChronicle

OpenAI Chronicle points to an important future: agents that remember your real working context.

OpenChronicle is our open alternative:

• **Local-first** – memory stays on your machine
• **Model-agnostic** – use Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any LiteLLM-compatible provider
• **Tool-friendly** – usable by any tool-capable agent
• **Inspectable** – Markdown on disk, SQLite locally
• **Open** – MIT-licensed and built to be extended
