Summary
Anathem is a Show HN project described as local memory for coding agents such as Claude Code and opencode. It is a small binary that stores memories in a SQLite file, with no daemon and no HTTP server. According to the source, saving works without a model or an API key, and the agent decides what to save while Anathem stores and indexes those memories. Search uses BM25 over FTS5.

What happened
hi, anathem is a local memory for agents (like Claude Code and opencode): a small binary and a SQLite file, no daemon and no HTTP server. saving works without a model or an API key. the agent decides what to save. anathem just stores those memories and makes them searchable. search is BM25 over FTS5.
Why it matters
Developers who run coding agents locally may find this useful if they want persistent memory without running extra services or supplying API keys. The design keeps storage simple, since the memory lives in a single SQLite file that the agent can query. Users should check the project's documentation and test it on their own setup to see how well search works in practice.
