Features / Local & Privacy
Your knowledge, on your terms
Local-first architecture is a design principle, not a compromise. Every conversation, memory, and document is a file on your filesystem. What leaves your machine — and where it goes — is always your call.
Local Architecture
All Memorandai data — conversations, memories, keystones, documents — lives on your filesystem. No cloud sync, no remote servers, no third-party storage. When you route a prompt to a cloud AI provider, it goes directly to that provider under their terms. Memorandai is never in the middle.
You can browse, back up, port, or delete any of it at any time — it's just files.
Bring Your Own Keys
Use your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI. You pay the providers directly at their published rates. Memorandai never sees your keys, never adds markup, and encrypts them at rest. Full cost transparency.
Built-In Local Inference
Run AI models entirely on your machine with GPU acceleration. Download GGUF models directly from the app. Zero API costs, full offline capability, complete privacy.
- Native tool calling through grammar-constrained generation
- No internet connection required
- Same canvas workflow as cloud models
MCP Servers
Extend Memorandai with Model Context Protocol servers. Install community servers or build your own. Each server adds new tools that every AI model on your canvas can use. The extensibility layer for power users.
Custom Nodes
Build your own node types with MCP command transport. Define input forms, connect to external services, stream results back to the canvas. Your workflow, your tools.
Encryption & Security
API keys are encrypted at rest using machine-specific keys. No telemetry, no analytics, no tracking. The app does not phone home. Memorandai never sees, stores, or transmits your data — what reaches a cloud model is your call alone.
Offline-Friendly License
Activate once online. After that, Memorandai works offline — no subscription server to check in with, no recurring validation required. Buy once, use forever.
Take control of your knowledge
Your knowledge, your keys, your machine. No compromises.
