Your AI's long-term memory.
Never explain yourself twice.

Why Now
The universal protocol for AI just arrived — MCP.
In November 2024, Anthropic quietly released the Model Context Protocol. 12 months later, the ecosystem exploded:

Dedicated to the AI infrastructure layer
MCP is to AI tools what HTTP was to the web.
The infrastructure layer is being built right now. Linux Foundation governance confirms this is a permanent standard.
But one critical piece is missing.
Every major platform has adopted MCP. Every major platform is racing to build on top of it. Yet no one has solved the most fundamental problem: memory. The window is open — and closing fast.
The Problem
150+ hours a year, wasted.

Memory Carried Between Tools
Zero context shared across platforms

Hours Per Year Lost
Re-explaining yourself, every session
Start in ChatGPT
Explain your project, your stack, your goals from scratch.
Switch to Claude
Start over. Re-explain everything. Again.
Open Cursor
Start over. Your context? Gone. Your decisions? Forgotten.
You're not building with AI. You're renting it. And the meter resets every session.
The Solution
Your AI already knows you. Everywhere.
pūrmemo is your AI's long-term memory. Use ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible tool — and it already knows your projects, your preferences, your decisions.
Works Everywhere
One memory across every AI tool. No copy-pasting. No re-explaining. Seamless across the entire MCP ecosystem.
Automatic
Captures context as you work. No manual saving, no tagging. It just works — invisibly, in the background.
You Own It
Your context travels with you. Switch tools without starting over. Your memory belongs to you — not the platform.
Like Dropbox made file sync invisible, pūrmemo makes AI memory invisible. The infrastructure disappears — and the experience becomes magical.
Product
I used pūrmemo to build pūrmemo.
Every decision, every conversation, every architectural choice from 14 months of building — right here. When I open a new Claude session, it already knows what I shipped yesterday.
pūrmemo captures your context silently as you work, so every new AI session picks up exactly where you left off — no setup, no friction, no repetition.

Why a designer-founder wins: The best dev tools — Linear, Vercel, Figma — were built by people who obsess over infrastructure AND interface. Developer experience is the new battleground.
