Data & context
Phren
Memory remains in inspectable Markdown files that can be shared and reviewed through Git.
Overview
Research summary
Phren gives coding agents a shared memory store built from Markdown files under version control. Hooks retrieve relevant findings when a prompt starts, while session summaries and checkpoints help preserve work between runs. The repository includes a terminal interface, MCP server, web graph, and VS Code integration. This listing covers the MIT-licensed repository and CLI; the separately distributed iOS companion has its own closed-source scope.
