Lore is a lightweight "second brain" that lives in your system tray. Summon it with a keystroke to capture ideas, notes, or tasks instantly. Why Lore? 🛡️ 100% Private: Your data never leaves your machine. No API keys, no tracking. 🧠 Local AI: Powered by Ollama + LanceDB for secure, offline-first RAG. ⚡ Instant Recall: Ask questions in plain language and get answers from your own history. Own your memory. 100% local. Zero cloud.
Would be interesting to see support for sources like local files or browser history. That could make recall even more powerful.
This makes a lot of sense. Most of our computers already function as a personal knowledge base, even if it's completely disorganized. It will take some time for trust to warm up to tools like this, but they seem inevitable. Even if the AI runs locally, having a way to easily wipe the AI's memory (clear cache, like a web browser) should provide peace of mind.
Love the emphasis on speed, as it's the biggest gap between promise and value with these types of projects for me.
My thought on next source probably involves something with the browser history. It's where I have a lot of "quick thoughts" that are worth noting down + gathering context around, but sometimes don't due to some other shiny object.
Great work!
Nice launch. I like the system tray approach — it feels less intrusive than opening a full app every time you want to jot something down.
Overall, this feels like a thoughtful direction. If the local setup stays simple and performance holds up, I can see this becoming part of daily workflows.
I’ve noticed I hesitate before writing certain things in cloud-based tools. That small pause you mentioned is real, and it does affect how freely you think.
It could be useful to have optional lightweight syncing, maybe encrypted, for people who work across multiple devices.
