Give your AI memory that lasts across sessions

Give your AI memory with a plain project file it reads when a session starts and writes to as it works. Decisions, failures and their causes go in the file, so a closed window or a new laptop changes nothing. Vibedna's Journal MCP does this for free, and another AI or a teammate can open the same file.

Why your AI starts from zero

Every session your AI opens is a blank slate. You explain the project again, it suggests something you already tried and threw away, and the reason you threw it away is gone. Talking more does not fix that. Writing it down where the next session reads it does.

How it works

It reads before it works

At the start of a session your AI opens the project file and knows what shipped, what broke and what was already decided.

It writes as things happen

Every decision, every failure and its cause go in during the same turn, not at the end of the day when they are half forgotten.

It survives everything

The file is plain text on your disk. A closed window, a lost session or a new laptop changes nothing.

What you get

One command

It installs the habit, so reading and writing happen without you asking.

Search across projects

Ask where you fixed something before and it finds the entry in every project you ran.

Shareable

Hand the file to another AI model or a teammate and they pick up exactly where you left off.

Where it stops

It is a plain text file on your disk. It does not write your code. It keeps the reasons behind it, which is the part a blank session cannot guess.

Questions

Why does my AI forget everything between sessions?

Every session your AI opens is a blank slate. Nothing from the last one is carried over unless it is written down where the next session reads it.

Where is the memory stored?

In a plain text file on your disk.

Can another AI or a teammate continue from it?

Yes. It is a plain file, so another AI model or a teammate can open it and pick up exactly where you left off.

Is the Journal MCP free?

Yes. The Journal MCP, your AI's memory between sessions, is free and open source under the MIT license, and you can read the code before you use it.
