Squish is a memory runtime for AI agents. It captures durable signal, derives beliefs like decisions and constraints, and restores context across sessions through CLI, MCP, and a local web UI.

How do I install Squish?

Install Squish with: npm i -g squish-memory && squish install

Yes, the self-hosted Squish runtime is free and open-source under MIT. Squish Cloud is the paid managed offering from 4M Labs.

What tools work with Squish?

Squish works with ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, MCP workflows, and local agents.

What makes Squish different from other memory solutions?

Squish is a memory runtime, not just storage. It combines persistent context, belief-based recall, CLI + MCP + web UI surfaces, and forward-only repair for older installs.

Is Squish better than maintaining a CLAUDE.md file?

CLAUDE.md files work for single projects and single tools. Squish provides cross-tool memory, automatic belief derivation, semantic search, and team sharing. Use CLAUDE.md for quick, tool-specific context. Use Squish for persistent memory across sessions, tools, and team members.

Does Squish work offline?

Yes. The local SQLite database works completely offline. Cloud sync requires internet, but all core memory operations (remember, recall, context) work without a connection.

What databases does Squish support?

Squish uses SQLite for local installations (zero-config) and PostgreSQL for shared runtimes and Squish Cloud.

Can I self-host Squish?

Yes. Squish is open-source under MIT. You can run the entire stack locally with SQLite, or use PostgreSQL for shared access. Squish Cloud is the paid managed option for sync, dashboard, and team features.

How does Squish handle sensitive data?

All data is stored locally in SQLite by default. Cloud sync encrypts data in transit (TLS) and at rest. You control what gets synced. Sensitive memories can be pinned to prevent consolidation.

Squish: Persistent Memory Runtime for AI Agents

Name: Squish
Availability: InStock
Author: 4M Labs

One command. Memory everywhere.

Squish gives ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, and every terminal agent one shared memory of your projects, preferences, and decisions.

Free local OSS. Paid Squish Cloud. The free runtime covers local memory; Cloud adds sync, dashboard, and team features.

Install

npm i -g squish-memory && squish install

What is Squish?

Squish is a local-first memory runtime for AI agents. It captures durable signal, derives beliefs (decisions, constraints, preferences), and restores context when sessions restart.

Key Features

Persistent Context - Memory survives session restarts instead of starting every session cold
Belief-Based Recall - Decisions and constraints become inspectable runtime state
CLI + MCP + Web UI - Same memory through multiple surfaces
Local-First - SQLite for zero-config, PostgreSQL for shared runtimes
Open Source - MIT license, self-hosted

How It Works

Capture - Auto-captures durable signal from agent sessions
Derive - Turns remembered events into durable beliefs (decisions, constraints, preferences)
Restore - Restores the right context when the next session starts
Inspect - CLI, MCP, and web UI let you see what was stored and why
