Memoriq

Memoriq is an open-source, privacy-first tool that lets users save, organize, and search AI conversations from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok in a single encrypted vault. It encrypts data client-side using AES-256 before anything reaches its servers, meaning the service operates on a zero-knowledge model. The project is AGPL-licensed and available on GitHub, with both a hosted option on memoriq.me and a fully self-hostable path.

What It Is

Memoriq is a personal AI memory vault — a tool that captures and archives conversations from major AI chat providers into one searchable, encrypted library. Rather than leaving valuable research, plans, or drafts scattered across provider sidebars or at risk of disappearing when account limits or policies change, Memoriq gives users a portable, private archive they control. It sits in the category of knowledge management and personal AI history tools, with a strong emphasis on privacy architecture over convenience trade-offs.

How the Privacy Architecture Works

The core design principle is that Memoriq cannot read user data. According to the site, AES-256 encryption runs in the browser before any data is uploaded — the server stores only ciphertext, and the encryption keys live only on the user's device. The site explicitly states: "We can't read your archives without your keys." This zero-knowledge approach is positioned as the opposite of leaving conversations on a provider's infrastructure where they could be read, used for model training, or exposed in a breach. Users can verify these claims directly by auditing the client-side crypto code on GitHub.

Capture and Organization Workflow

Memoriq offers two ways to save conversations:

• Chrome extension: A one-click capture tool that works directly on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok pages without leaving the tab.
• Manual import: Users can import conversation exports from supported providers.

Once saved, conversations land in the vault tagged with source, date, projects, and labels. The vault supports search and filtering across all providers in one interface, and users can organize chats into named projects. Full export and deletion are available at any time.

Deployment Model: Hosted vs. Self-Hosted

Memoriq offers two deployment paths. The hosted option on memoriq.me provides a managed vault with no server setup required, subject to a storage limit. The self-hosted path lets users clone the repository and run the full application — including the dashboard, search, projects, export, and Chrome extension — on their own hardware with unlimited storage. The AGPL license allows forking, auditing, or private deployment. The site frames self-hosting as the path for users who want full control and unlimited storage without relying on any third-party infrastructure.

Open-Source Lineage and Transparency

Memoriq is AGPL-licensed open-source software, with the full app and Chrome extension published on GitHub under the memoriqme organization. The site explicitly invites users to audit the encryption path from browser to database rather than taking E2EE claims on trust. This transparency-first stance — "Verify, don't trust" — is a deliberate differentiator from closed-source AI memory or note-taking tools.
