The free and local app for your AI’s memory.
Linggen indexes your codebases and tribal knowledge so your AI (Cursor, Zed, Claude, etc.) can actually understand your architecture, cross-project dependencies, and long-term decisions.

Traditional AI chat is "blind" to anything you haven't manually copy-pasted. Linggen bridges this "context gap" by providing:
- 🧠 Persistent Memory: Store architectural decisions in
.linggen/memoryas Markdown. AI recalls them via semantic search. - 🌐 Cross-Project Intelligence: Work on Project A while your AI learns design patterns or auth logic from Project B.
- 📊 System Map (Graph): Visualize file dependencies and "blast radius" before you refactor.
- 🔒 Local-First & Private: All indexing and vector search (via LanceDB) happens on your machine. Your code and embeddings never leave your side. No accounts required.
Install the CLI in seconds and start indexing:
curl -sSL https://linggen.dev/install-cli.sh | bash
linggen start
linggen index .Windows & Linux support coming soon.
Once Linggen is running and your project is indexed, simply talk to your MCP-enabled IDE (like Cursor or Zed):
"Call Linggen MCP, find out how project-sender sends out messages, and ingest it."
"Call Linggen MCP, load memory from Project-B, learn its code style and design pattern."
"Load memory from Linggen, find out what is the goal of this piece of code."
