openclaw-mem

Local-first memory sidecar for OpenClaw.

Turn your agent’s work into a durable, searchable memory trail—without taking over the canonical memory slot.

Why operators use it

  • Always-fresh recall: keep “what just happened?” searchable in minutes (or less).
  • Cheap progressive recall: search → timeline → get keeps most lookups local.
  • Auditability: one SQLite ledger you can grep, backup, diff, and export.
  • Safe boundaries: OpenClaw backends stay canonical; this project stays sidecar.

How it works (one screen)

OpenClaw tool results → JSONL capture → harvest → SQLite (FTS) → progressive recall
                           └────────────── optional: embeddings / compression
