Hemory listens, always on — wiring real memory into your agents. Everything you live through settles into a private, searchable memory. What was decided in yesterday's meeting, what a client asked three weeks ago, the idea you had on a walk. No notes to take, nothing to dig through. WHO IT'S FOR Founders, consultants, salespeople, and lawyers—anyone whose work is more conversations than they can remember. HOW IT WORKS Pair Hemory once. Listening runs on iPhone and Apple Watch, manual or scheduled. A standard MCP server opens that memory to the agents you already use: Claude, Codex, and other MCP clients. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Audio stays on your listening device. You decide when Hemory listens, and you can turn it off anytime. Free Trial gives you a one-time 10 hours of listening. Choose a plan once you've used it up.
