🧬 What is Internet Memory?

A Chrome extension + AI-powered Electron backend that automatically captures, indexes, and lets you chat with everything you read online — powered by local AI.

Internet Memory is your personal, privacy-first "Second Brain". It runs silently as a system-tray application, mediating between your browser and local AI models (Ollama).

🔒 Privacy by Design 100% Local: Your data never leaves your machine. No cloud, no telemetry. SQLite Storage: Industry-standard database for reliable local indexing. Secure Auth: Interaction via local API tokens for extension safety.

⚡ How It Works Browse: Read the web as you normally would. Capture: The extension auto-distills the core content of articles. Index: Content is embedded and indexed by Ollama. Recall: Search or chat with your history from the side panel.

✨ Key Features

• 💬 Chat with Memory: Ask questions about everything you've read. Get streaming responses with direct source citations.
• ✨ AI Auto-Tagging: Every memory is automatically categorized and given a "Bottom Line" summary by AI.
• 🔍 Semantic Search: Vector-based search that understands the meaning of your query, not just keywords.
• 🌙 Premium UI: A stunning, modern interface with high-quality Dark and Light mode support.
• 📦 Multi-Platform: Professional installers for Windows (MSI/EXE), Linux (DEB/AppImage), and macOS (DMG).
• 📝 Highlights: Right-click any text to save specific snippets to your permanent memory.
