OpenChronicle is a local-first, open-source memory layer for tool-capable LLM agents, running on macOS. It captures structured context from the accessibility tree (with screenshots as a secondary signal) and turns it into persistent Markdown and SQLite memory that any model-agnostic agent, especially MCP clients, can query.

Use cases

• give my AI agent persistent memory of what I'm working on
• open-source alternative to OpenAI Chronicle for agent memory
• store agent context locally as Markdown instead of the cloud
• let an MCP client remember my apps, decisions, and projects
• build a memory layer for tool-using LLM agents with Ollama or LM Studio
• capture working context from my Mac's accessibility tree for an agent

When to choose

• you want local-first, inspectable agent memory on macOS with no cloud dependency
• you need a model-agnostic memory layer that works with any tool-capable agent or MCP client
• you prefer cheap, structured AX-tree context over screenshot-heavy vision pipelines
• you want memory stored in readable Markdown and SQLite you can hack on

When to avoid

• you need Windows or Linux support - it is macOS only
• you need a production-stable system - it is early alpha (v0.1.0)
• you rely primarily on visual/screenshot-based context rather than app and text context
• you need a hosted, multi-device synced memory solution
