About pensieve

Local search across your files, repositories and AI agent sessions, built to give your agents the best context for the job.

- Find anything: press Control+Shift anywhere on your Mac and search your documents, folders, code and past agent sessions by meaning or by exact words. - Superpowers for your agents: agents connect over MCP and get the few most relevant files and passages instead of grepping your disk, which saves time and tokens. Each agent is scoped to what it's working on (by default, the repo it runs in). - Know who to ask: git blame shows who owns what and who has the most domain knowledge, plus what each teammate has been working on. - Find knowledge gaps: areas where most of the code was written by people no longer active in the repo, how many active people still know it, and who to ask now.

Everything runs on your Mac. Text is embedded with Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B and stored in SQLite (with a trigram full-text index for exact matches) plus turbovec vector indexes. AI-written summaries and insights are optional (built-in Qwen 3.5 9B, LM Studio, Claude Code or Codex).

On an Apple Silicon Mac, the script downloads the latest Pensieve.dmg and copies the app to Applications. Then it installs the pensieve backend with the installer inside the app. You do not need git, the Xcode tools or Python. The app starts when you run the script in a terminal. When an agent runs it, the script installs only.
