Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Erez, the creator of Lore.
I built Lore because I was tired of the "Privacy Tax." In 2026, if you want an AI that actually understands your thoughts, you're usually forced to upload your entire life to a cloud provider. I didn't want my private ideas, snippets, and daily journals sitting on someone else's server.
I wanted a "Cursor for my memory":
⚡ Speed: Summon it with one keystroke (Cmd+Shift+Space).
🛡️ Privacy: 100% local. No API keys, no tracking, no cloud.
🧠 Intelligence: It uses Ollama and LanceDB to actually answer your questions using your own history.
Whether you're a researcher, a dev, or just someone who thinks a lot—Lore is designed to stay out of your way until you need to remember something perfectly.
Lore is 100% Free and Open Source. I believe the tools we use to think should be transparent and owned by the user.
I'd love your feedback on:
What "Source" should I support next? (Local Markdown? Browser history? WhatsApp?)
How does the "Local LLM" setup feel on your machine?
I’ll be here all day to answer questions! Let's take our memory back from the cloud. 🛡️
