Introducing Memory: Your Second Brain, Fully Yours

Today we are announcing Memory — a personal digital timeline that captures everything you do across all your devices and turns it into a searchable, AI-powered knowledge base. One that you fully own, control, and can take with you.

TL;DR

  • Memory automatically captures clipboard, browser history, messages, email, photos, and voice across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web.
  • Ask questions about your own activity in plain English — the AI returns answers with citations to the source events.
  • Privacy-first: local-first storage, EU-hosted infrastructure, fully GDPR compliant. No third-party analytics, no selling of your data.
  • Currently in pilot — request early access.

The Problem: Your Digital Life Is Scattered

Think about everything you did digitally last week. The Slack messages, the emails, the documents you edited, the links you bookmarked, the photos you took, the notes you scribbled. Now try to recall a specific detail — the name of that article someone shared on Tuesday, or the exact wording of a decision your team made in a chat thread three weeks ago.

You can't. Not because the information is lost, but because it's scattered across dozens of apps, devices, and platforms — each with its own search, its own silo, its own retention rules. Your digital life has no single index.

Some people try to solve this with note-taking apps. Others rely on browser history or chat search. But these are partial solutions at best. They require manual effort, they cover only one channel, and they don't talk to each other.

Memory: One Timeline for Everything

Memory takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of asking you to change how you work, it runs silently in the background on every device you own and captures your digital activity automatically:

  • Clipboard — everything you copy
  • Browser history — pages you visit, with context
  • Mattermost & messaging — conversations as they happen
  • Email (IMAP) — incoming and outgoing messages
  • Photos & voice memos — captured on your phone, with automatic transcription
  • File changes — documents you create and edit
  • Notes — free-form text you add from any device

All of this flows into a single, chronological timeline — searchable with full-text search, filterable by device or source, and queryable with natural language through the built-in AI assistant.

Your Second Brain, Not Someone Else's

If the concept of an AI that "remembers" things for you sounds familiar, that's because large language model providers have started offering memory features of their own. ChatGPT, Gemini, and others now remember facts about you across conversations.

But there is a fundamental difference — and it matters more than most people realise.

When ChatGPT "remembers" something about you, that memory lives on OpenAI's servers, in OpenAI's format, governed by OpenAI's terms. You can't export it in a meaningful way. You can't plug it into a different LLM. You can't inspect exactly what was stored, run your own queries against it, or host it on your own infrastructure. The more you use it, the more valuable that memory becomes — and the harder it becomes to leave.

This is the definition of lock-in.

Memory is built on the opposite principle. Your data lives in a local database on each of your devices and syncs to EU-hosted infrastructure that you control. You can export your entire dataset at any time in standard, open formats — no proprietary lock-in. Full GDPR compliance is built in, with EU data residency guaranteed and no cross-border transfers.

When you ask Memory a question, it uses your configured AI provider (Mistral, OpenAI, or any compatible API) to answer — but the knowledge base is yours. The LLM is a tool you point at your data, not a walled garden that absorbs it.

Proprietary Memory vs. Memory by ContentCloud

Proprietary LLM Memory

  • Data stored on provider's servers
  • Opaque storage format
  • No meaningful export
  • Locked to one LLM provider
  • Provider controls retention
  • Closed source

Memory by ContentCloud

  • Data stored locally + EU-hosted server you control
  • Open SQLite format
  • Full export and portability
  • Works with any LLM provider
  • You control retention
  • Full data export in open formats

A Portable Knowledge Base for the AI Era

We believe that in the coming years, the most valuable digital asset a person or organisation will have is their structured personal knowledge — the accumulated record of what they've read, written, discussed, and decided.

If that knowledge is trapped inside a proprietary system, you're at the mercy of that system's pricing, policies, and continued existence. If it's portable and under your control, it becomes a genuine asset — one you can query with any AI model, share selectively with collaborators, back up to your own infrastructure, and carry with you for life.

Memory is designed to be that portable knowledge base. It doesn't replace your note-taking app or your project management tool — it sits underneath everything, quietly building the richest, most complete record of your digital life that has ever existed. And it's yours.

Privacy Is Not a Feature — It's the Architecture

We didn't add privacy as an afterthought. Memory's architecture is privacy-first from the ground up:

  • Local-first storage — each device keeps its own SQLite database. Capture works fully offline; sync happens when you're connected.
  • EU-hosted infrastructure — all servers are located within the European Union, fully compliant with GDPR. No cross-border data transfers.
  • End-to-end authentication — secure authentication, HTTPS everywhere, with auto-renewing TLS certificates.
  • No third-party analytics — we don't track what you capture, we don't sell your activity, we don't train on your data.
  • Full data export — export your entire dataset at any time in standard, open formats. Your data is never locked in.

For organisations subject to GDPR, data residency requirements, or internal security policies, Memory can be fully self-hosted. There is no dependency on our infrastructure if you choose to run your own.

Currently in Pilot

Memory is available today as a pilot program. We're onboarding a limited number of early users who want to help shape the product. Pilot participants get full access to all features at no cost, a direct feedback channel with our engineering team, and priority access when pricing plans are introduced at general availability.

If this resonates with you — if you've felt the frustration of scattered digital knowledge, or if you're concerned about the lock-in trajectory of proprietary AI memory — we'd love to hear from you.

Join the Memory Pilot

Full feature access. No cost during pilot. Your data, your rules.


Memory is developed by ContentCloud, the AI division of EWORX S.A. All data processing occurs within EU borders with full GDPR compliance.
