Guided setup

Make your AI remember.

Pick the AI coding tool you already use. You only need to follow that path — you do not need to understand MCP, configuration files, or how Memoir stores memory.

1

Open Terminal in your project folder

If you already use Claude Code, this is the same Terminal you use to start it.

2

Install Memoir

Copy this command, paste it into Terminal, and press Enter.

3

Connect this project

Memoir preserves existing settings and adds its project connection.

4

Turn on the session brief

This lets Claude receive a short project reminder when a new session starts.

Test that it worked

Tell your AI: “Remember: this project never uses popups.” Save that as a project decision when prompted. Start a fresh session in the same project and ask “What did we decide about popups?” You should not have to explain it again.

Want to see or correct what was saved? Run memoir work view.

Developer path: prefer the CLI and want every option? Read the GitHub README. Cloud sync is optional and currently beta; local project memory works without creating an account or uploading your project memory.
