alt Hacker NewsMemory features are useful for the same reason that a human would use a database instead of a large .md file: it's more efficient to query for something and get exactly what you want than it is to read through a large, ultimately less structured document.
That said, Claude now has a native memory feature as of the 2.0 release recently: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/memory so the parent's tool may be too late, unless it offers some kind of advantage over that. I don't know how to make that comparison, personally.

It's had native memory in the form of per-directory CLAUDE.md files for a while though. Not just 2.0
The other point here, I wanted something more in line with LLMs natural language, something that can be queried more effeciently buy just using normal language, almost like the way we think normally, we first have a though and then we go through our memory archive.
Claude’s memory function adds a note to the file(s) that it reads on startup. Whereas this tool pulls from a database of memories on-demand.
