Lossless-memory

A personal AI memory that never summarizes

🧱 LLMs & Infrastructure⚡ ProductivityOpen SourceY▲ 67 on HNLaunched September 25, 2026

lossless-memory is a long-term memory system for a personal AI assistant that never summarizes. It keeps every raw line, timestamps everything, and searches by time first and words second, returning results in chronological order. A small index tells the model which topic the conversation is in, so context survives compaction and new sessions. First shared by its maker on Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49786419

Overview

Who is it for?

Developers building a personal AI assistant that should remember what was actually said.

Problem

Most AI memory systems summarize or embed conversations, losing exactly what was said and when.

Solution

Store full logs on a time axis and retrieve by time phrases like "yesterday evening", then by keywords.

What makes it unique

No summaries ever; the author has run it daily for a single user since July 2026 and documents its failures too.

Lossless-memory FAQ

Does it summarize conversations?

No. Raw logs are kept in full and nothing is summarized.

How does search work?

Time phrases narrow the range and words rank results within it; results come back in chronological order with timestamps.
