memU is a lightweight, agent-driven memory system that gives users a shared LLM wiki across sessions, agents, and devices. It automatically distills your own reusable skills from your agent history. Its core memory logic is only 500 lines — compact enough to inspect, understand, and adapt.

## Quick start

memU works with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, WorkBuddy, Cola, pi, and more. See [Host adapters](#host-adapters-memory-for-desktop-coding-agents).

**Cross-device · Free · Unlimited · [View online](https://memu.so)**

Get your API key from [memu.so](https://memu.so), then send this message to your agent:

> Read [https://memu.pro/SKILL.md](https://memu.pro/SKILL.md), follow its instructions to install and configure memU, API Key is memu_•••••••••(get Api Key from memu.so).

## Agent support

This matrix lists the currently tested memU integrations by operating system.

- **Memorize** — capture useful session knowledge through a scheduled background task and turn it into reusable memory.
- **Retrieve** — bring relevant memory into a future task.
- **⚠️** — supported with an important limitation; see the user note.
