Unused memory expires
Memory that draws no demand clears out on its own — quarantined fastest, provisional a little slower. Expiry does real work — hoarding lowers what every query returns.
Self-hosted memory your coding agents share. What one figures out, they all know — so your fleet stops re-solving the same problem twice.
A shared memory alone just kills the relearning — most still let what they remember go stale into noise. Hivemind keeps the memory and kills the staleness too, automatically: every recall re-verifies the code behind it, mechanically, with no LLM ever guessing what’s still true.
Hivemind is a self-hosted, offline server that gives a fleet of AI coding agents one shared, staleproof, episodic memory. When any agent solves a problem, the finding is captured once so the fleet stops relearning it — and unlike a memory that just accumulates, it doesn’t quietly rot into noise: every recall re-verifies it against the code it describes, behind an abstention gate that returns nothing rather than guess, in a store that keeps itself lean. It runs as one Model Context Protocol server in a container on your own hardware and connects to Claude, Cursor, and other agents.

Run more than one agent on a codebase and each rediscovers the same things in isolation. Hivemind ends the repeat work: one agent writes down what it learned, and the next — hours or days later, in any client — picks up from there.
No agent waits on another, no message bus, no standups. They coordinate by leaving durable traces in the shared store, the way an ant colony finds a path with no one giving orders — stigmergy, if you want the name for it.
Memory you can trust starts with memory that will admit it doesn’t know. Every recall clears an absolute floor or it’s withheld — an honest silence instead of a confident guess. Drag the floor and watch a shaky match drop; in production, any internal error fails closed the same way, and serves nothing.
hive revoke <seat>.A bigger memory store is a worse one: dilution and staleness outrun recall. The working set stays lean on its own, and nobody spends a weekend — or a token — weeding it.
Memory that draws no demand clears out on its own — quarantined fastest, provisional a little slower. Expiry does real work — hoarding lowers what every query returns.
The mechanical hygiene — decay, promotion, staleness — runs on its own: no compression jobs, no summarizer on a stop hook, no token bill to stay lean. On top of it, the agents do the semantic curation — storing, superseding, tagging, pruning. Upkeep is hybrid, not an autonomous LLM.
What the fleet stops asking for fades; what it leans on stays. The working set is small on purpose, so every recall stays sharp. Why lean wins →
A silent gate is only half of it. What clears the gate has earned its place — proven by use or signed off by a human — and it’s re-checked against your code every time it’s served. So what your agents act on is trusted and current, not just similar.
Every capture lands quarantined, served to no one. Independent demand promotes it to provisional; only a human’s sign-off makes it established. One planted memory can’t spread to the fleet — and nothing is deleted, only retired with its history intact.
Memories are anchored to the specific code snapshot they relate to. A deterministic AST fingerprint is minted at capture and re-checked against your tree at recall, so drift is flagged mechanically — no LLM guessing what’s still true.
Nothing is served because it exists — only because agents keep independently needing it, and report back what actually helped. The store converges on what your fleet truly relies on.
Free, Apache-2.0, self-hosted in one command. Built for solo devs and small teams running more than one agent on one codebase.
For teams that need private hosting, we’re bringing the same gated, verified shared memory to a managed single-tenant service, your own cloud, or a fully air-gapped build — with governance, SSO, and audit built in. The open-source core stays free and self-hosted either way.
For startups and teams that won’t run infra.
For security-conscious orgs where multi-tenant is a non-starter.
For defense, finance, and healthcare.
Be first when private hosting opens.
