funes

your machine's memory, queryable.

funes is a local AI memory daemon for the terminal. it indexes your files, notes, and shell history into a local vector database and lets you search everything with natural language — no cloud, no accounts, your data never leaves your machine.

$ funes query "that postgres deadlock fix"

→ src/db/pool.rs [score: 0.94]

$ funes query "nginx config for 502s" --llm

→ you fixed this by setting proxy_read_timeout 300s in infra/nginx.conf

why funes

every developer has had this moment — you fixed something tricky three months ago and now you need that fix again. you remember it vaguely but have no idea which file, which project, or what the solution was.

cloud tools like Rewind and Mem.ai solve this but at the cost of privacy and a monthly subscription. funes is fully local, fully open source, and completely free.

the name

Jorge Luis Borges wrote a short story in 1942 called Funes the Memorious — about a man who forgets nothing, remembers every detail of his life perfectly. that's the goal here. not quite perfect memory, but close enough to be useful.
