Claude Desktop has no memory across sessions. You close the window and it forgets everything. Mnemos is an open-source MCP server that fixes this by watching your conversation files in real-time, indexing them with local ONNX embeddings (MiniLM-L6-v2), and enabling hybrid semantic + keyword search — all without a single byte leaving your machine. The v1.1 release adds a genuinely striking feature: a 3D semantic visualization that maps your conversations into a clustered constellation using UMAP dimensionality reduction and Three.js. You can scrub through a chronological timeline and watch the knowledge graph build in real time. It is, frankly, prettier than it needs to be. Built on .NET 9, SQLite FTS5, and React/Vite, Mnemos is one of the more technically ambitious "Claude memory" projects to appear on HN this week. The offline-first, MIT-licensed approach puts it in a different league from cloud-synced alternatives.

SolidJS provides React-like JSX with fine-grained reactivity and no Virtual DOM. Incredibly fast with a small bundle. SolidStart for full-stack development.
Reviewer scorecard
“This solves a real, painful problem with zero cloud dependency. The hybrid FTS5 + vector search is the right architecture — you get speed and semantic richness without compromising privacy. The .NET 9 stack is slightly niche but the setup looks smooth.”
“React-like syntax with true reactivity and no Virtual DOM overhead. The performance benchmarks speak for themselves.”
“It is a one-person Show HN project posted literally today with 2 GitHub stars. The 3D visualization is cool but has nothing to do with actually improving recall quality. Also: how often do you actually need to search old Claude conversations vs. just starting fresh?”
“Impressive technology but tiny ecosystem. For production apps, React or Svelte have better library support.”
“Local-first AI memory is the correct long-term architecture. Every AI system we rely on should have this kind of persistent, private, searchable context layer. Mnemos is a prototype of what OS-level AI memory will eventually look like, and seeing it built today matters.”
“SolidJS's reactivity model is influencing the entire framework ecosystem. The ideas matter even if adoption is niche.”
“The 3D constellation visualization genuinely excites me — there is art in watching your conversation history render as a navigable space. For writers and researchers who use Claude heavily, the ability to rediscover old threads through semantic search could unlock something meaningful.”
