Claude is brilliant.But it forgets everythingyou talked about yesterday.Zé doesn't.

A persistent memory stack for your Claude Code. Vault, semantic search and knowledge graph working together so it never asks again what you already answered.

The problem

How many times have you explained this?

0
repetitions this week alone

Every new Claude conversation starts from zero. You re-explain the project. You re-paste the database schema. You re-state what you already decided about the architecture. You re-point the bug it already fixed last week. Time drains into repetition. So does patience. And Claude — who's genius — starts every day as the new intern.

>"Remember we decided not to use Vercel?"
>"We've been through this. Deploy is on Easypanel."
>"Again: the product is called LinkShort, not aiox."
The solution

Memory that survives.

Three components working in sync to turn your Obsidian vault into a persistent brain your Claude can query anytime.

Vault

Your notes are the source of truth

Markdown on your machine, versioned in git, offline, yours. Zé doesn't steal anything — it just organizes what you already have.

RAG

Semantic search over everything

Embeddings of every note via sqlite-vec. Ask in natural language and Zé pulls the right snippet, even if you wrote it with different words.

Graph

Connections only a graph can see

Local Neo4j storing projects, decisions, stories and pending items as connected nodes. Multi-hop questions RAG can't answer, the graph answers in milliseconds.

See it running

Zé has a CLI. And it's got personality.

After installing, you talk to Zé from the terminal. It remembers, pulls, queries the graph, and answers you right back.

Install

Three minutes, one command, parrot in your terminal.

Requires docker, uv, git and the Claude Code CLI. If you have those, Zé handles the rest.

FAQ

The honest questions

Zé is open-source and free. You only pay for OpenAI embeddings — cents per month even with a large vault. If you want zero cost, you can swap for a local model later.
