# My Memory
|
|
|
|
A low-friction capture app for thoughts, text, and voice. Lives in your system tray and lets you quickly jot down or dictate ideas, then organize them on a kanban board.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Text capture** — Type a thought and save it with Ctrl+Enter
|
|
- **Voice capture** — Record audio, auto-transcribed via Whisper
|
|
- **Kanban board** — Drag entries through On Docket, In Progress, and Complete
|
|
- **Collapsible Complete column** — Collapsed by default with count badge; expand to filter by 7 days, 30 days, or all time
|
|
- **Cancel entries** — Archive notes you no longer need without deleting the file
|
|
- **System tray** — Stays resident; click the icon to capture, right-click for menu
|
|
- **Single instance** — Running `my-memory --capture` or `--board` signals the existing instance
|
|
- **Plain files** — Entries are markdown with YAML frontmatter, stored in `~/.my-memory/entries/`
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.13+
|
|
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management
|
|
- A working audio input device (for voice capture)
|
|
- CUDA toolkit (optional, for GPU-accelerated transcription; falls back to CPU)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://git.manticorum.com/cal/my-memory.git
|
|
cd my-memory
|
|
uv sync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To pre-download the Whisper model:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv run my-memory --download-model
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv run my-memory # Launch (lives in system tray)
|
|
uv run my-memory --capture # Open capture window
|
|
uv run my-memory --board # Open kanban board
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Autostart
|
|
|
|
Copy or symlink the desktop file to autostart at login:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ln -s /path/to/my-memory/my-memory.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Create `~/.my-memory/config.toml` to override defaults:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[whisper]
|
|
model_size = "base" # tiny, base, small, medium, large-v3
|
|
device = "auto" # auto, cuda, cpu
|
|
compute_type = "float16"
|
|
|
|
[audio]
|
|
sample_rate = 16000
|
|
channels = 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Data Format
|
|
|
|
Entries are stored as `~/.my-memory/entries/YYYY-MM-DD/{uuid}.md`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
id: "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
|
|
timestamp: "2026-02-11T14:30:00"
|
|
source: "voice"
|
|
tags: []
|
|
status: "docket"
|
|
audio_file: "550e8400-...440000.wav"
|
|
duration_seconds: 12.5
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The captured thought content here.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Voice entries have a paired `.wav` file in the same directory.
