## What is Memex?

Memex is an open-source, local-first AI journal for iOS and Android. It takes a different approach from traditional journaling apps — instead of asking you to sit down and write polished entries, Memex lets you capture life in fragments (text, photos, voice) and uses a multi-agent AI system to organize them into structured cards, build your knowledge base, discover insights, and provide companionship through AI characters.

**What "local-first" means here:** Your records, cards, and knowledge all stay on your device. There is no Memex server storing your journal. You bring your own LLM provider (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.), and your prompts go directly from your phone to that provider — we never see your data. The optional Memex AI service only proxies model requests; it does not store your journal.
