ByteMemo captures the decisions, snippets and context behind your code — then recalls them in your editor with a single keystroke. Stop asking "why is it like this?" in the team channel.
npm i -g bytememoByteMemo quietly reads the context around your code — commits, PRs, tickets, threads — and turns it into a searchable memory you can ask questions.
Commits, PR descriptions, review comments, linked tickets and design docs are ingested and indexed against the files they touch.
Decisions get attached to the exact lines they explain, so the "why" travels with the code instead of living in someone's head.
Hit ⌘K in your editor and ask in plain English. You get the answer, the source and the person — no tab-switching archaeology.
One keystroke opens a palette you already know the shape of. Ask a question, get a cited answer without leaving the file you're in.
Your code never has to leave your machine. Run the index locally, sync only what you choose, and audit exactly what's stored.
It captures context automatically. No notes to write, no ritual to keep.
Each recall links to the PR, ticket or comment it came from.
When someone leaves, the knowledge stays with the code.

Not by default. ByteMemo runs the index locally and works offline. Team sync is opt-in and scoped — you choose exactly what's shared, and there's a full audit log of what's stored.
VS Code and Cursor first-class, plus a JetBrains plugin and a Neovim extension. All of them use the same ⌘K recall, so muscle memory carries over.
Git history and PR descriptions/reviews, plus linked tickets and threads from Linear, Jira, Slack and Notion if you connect them. It maps all of it to the files and lines it explains.
Every recall cites its source — the PR, ticket or comment — so you can verify in one click. It's designed to show its work, not to bluff.
Yes. The Team plan supports self-hosting the index and sync server inside your own infrastructure, so nothing sensitive ever touches our cloud.
