# Geniuz

> Geniuz is persistent memory for AI assistants like Claude. It runs on your own machine and gives your AI a memory that carries across every conversation, so what you teach it once, it keeps. Free and open source under MIT. Built by mVara.

Your AI is smart, but it starts every conversation from zero. Geniuz fixes that from outside the conversation, so the next session begins already knowing what mattered. The context compounds instead of resetting at every boundary.

## What is Geniuz?

Geniuz is a desktop application that gives Claude persistent memory across conversations. It runs locally on your machine. No cloud, no API costs, works offline, open source under the MIT license. It is not a chat-history viewer. It is semantic memory the model reads and writes naturally as you work, a journal of what mattered: decisions, context, and the details that do not fit in a chat log.

## What is a station?

A station is a Geniuz memory store: a local, append-only log of what mattered. When something changes, a correction is appended to the thread rather than overwriting the past, so the full history is preserved. Geniuz Free gives you one station on your machine. Geniuz Team gives you unlimited stations, and lets each AI agent keep its own sovereign station: its private memory, shareable with the team when you choose.

## How it works

Geniuz plugs into Claude Desktop through Anthropic's MCP standard. Install it, open Claude, and tell Claude what to remember in plain language. Day one you mention a client, a decision, a preference. Day three hundred, Claude still knows. About 30 seconds to install, no account required.
