Memory and recall

Ask about anything you saw, said or told Jevie and get it back: your people, your past days, and a profile of you, all kept on this Mac.

Use it

Tell it

• remember that my manager is PriyaKept, used only where it helps
• from now on, invoices go in FinanceA standing preference
• what do you rememberThe list; forget that my manager is Priya takes one away
• how can you help me moreWhat Jevie is missing, each a sentence to say

Your people

• my mom's birthday is May 14Kayla likes pistachioKept in your people
• when is mom's birthdayThe day, the age, and a reminder or gift ideas
• what does mom likewhose birthday is coming upFrom what you told

Your world

• refill my prescriptionYour pharmacy, from its mail, is already known
• email my landlord about the sinkwhen is rent dueThe landlord the rent reminders come from
• book my next dental cleaningThe practice and the visits on your calendar
• plan dinner with Sam on FridayAnd that Sam declines most invitations
• my pharmacy is the Walgreens on 5thSaid once, it outranks anything learned
• open world.md in your Jevie files to read, correct or delete any of it

Every agent knows you

• share what you know about me with my agentsClaude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and the other agents installed here each get a short portrait of you in their own instructions file (your name, the first few things you told Jevie, and what more it knows), kept current every hour; stop sharing with my agents takes it out again
• agents ask for the rest when a task needs it, a few words at a time (mom's birthday, my bank), through Jevie's jevie_me tool, and ChatGPT through Jevie's remote connector, while sharing is on
• import my ChatGPT export ~/Downloads/chatgpt.zipimport my Claude exportYour old conversations become searchable in recall, and what those apps remembered about you comes along
• import my ChatGPT memories: …Paste the list from ChatGPT's Settings → Personalization → Manage memories

Find it again

• where did I parkAnswered from what you told, in a second
• where did I write the wifi passwordAcross notes, files, PDFs and screenshots
• what was I doing at 3pm yesterdayYour timeline, from what was on screen and said
• what did I do todaywhat did we do yesterdayThe timeline at once, then a line on what was done above it once it is read (up to about half a minute)
• find the screenshot with the wifi passwordScreen memory, by what it showed
• what did we decide about the DMGDecisions and conversations, found
• did that dinner booking ever work out?Talk remembers: what you told Jevie, what was said with it before and what your coding agents learned about you
• remember this screenThis moment kept on purpose
• on the phone, Ask's pane (swipe right from the left edge on Ask, or tap its menu button)The memory lane: each month under its name, each day in a line with a strip of that day's screens; tap a day for its moments, a screen to see it whole

How it works

Recall searches everything already on your Mac: conversations with Jevie, screenshots and their text, pages you read, meetings, notes, history, clipboard and files. Each find says how it was found, and when there is nothing, it says so rather than guessing.

Jevie also reads what your coding agents keep about you, without changing it: Claude Code's memories, Codex's and Gemini's notes, Goose's memory, and the rules you wrote for Kiro, Cline, Continue and the rest. That is what lets talk know who it is talking to, answers find what an agent learned, and a session Jevie starts in one agent know what another learned in the same folder.

Jevie also learns your world from your mail and calendar, in code and without a model: the pharmacy, landlord, doctor, dentist, vet, gym, bank, internet, utilities, phone carrier, insurance, taxes and school your mail and appointments come from, and who declines or always accepts your invitations. Each comes with where it was seen and when. A request reaches one by its role (refill my prescription is the pharmacy), so a new agent doesn't have to ask what an old one knew. It is read again once a day.

Each night Jevie reads the day and rewrites a short profile of you: what you work on, the apps and sites you use, the wording that worked. You can read and edit it, and what you tell Jevie always outranks what it inferred.

Limits

• Recall covers what was kept, not your whole day; screen memory skips excluded apps.
• While nobody is at the Mac, screen memory looks every two minutes instead of every changed quarter minute, and recall folds new lines into its memory every quarter hour (every two hours at most while you are there); what was said is found word for word at once either way.
• Forgetting a moment deletes its words and screenshots, but not a coding agent's own transcript.
• An agent's memory is read, never edited: change or delete it in that agent. Cursor's rules (kept in its settings) and Letta's memory (on its server) are not read.
• Sharing is off until you turn it on. The portrait sits between marked lines in each agent's global file (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md and the like); the rest of the file is never touched, and an agent whose folder isn't on this Mac gets nothing. The portrait holds no passwords, keys or card numbers, since Jevie refuses to keep them.
• An import never replaces something you told Jevie on the same subject. Its email and phone number are not copied. Very large exports (over about 500 MB of conversations) can't be read yet.
• Your world is learned from mail and the calendar only: a place that never writes or books is not known until you say it. Two of each kind are kept at most. Delete a section in world.md and it is not learned again.
• Everything stays on this Mac; a request that names someone shows only that person's details to the model answering it.

Where it's kept

Everything under ~/.jevie (what the phone app handed over in phone-memory/, read by recall as a source): the profile as MEMORY.md and your world as world.md in ~/.jevie/self (yours to read and edit, each change a commit), day digests in the memory folder, screen memory in its own store.
