    From the README

    Persistent memory for AI coding agents

    Agent-agnostic. Single binary. Zero dependencies.

    engram /ˈen.ɡræm/ — neuroscience: the physical trace of a memory in the brain.

    Your AI coding agent forgets everything when the session ends. Engram gives it a brain.

    A Go binary with SQLite + FTS5 full-text search, exposed via CLI, HTTP API, MCP server, and an interactive TUI. Works with any agent that supports MCP — Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Codex, VS Code (Copilot), Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf, or anything else.
