About minimi
Overview
minimi is an AI cat for the Mac that captures your personal context and never lets you miss your commitments. It reads what you do across apps, finds high-value action items, and pings you at the right moment. Shram Intelligence, Inc. builds the app and ships it as a direct download for Mac.
The app works with WhatsApp, Gmail and Calendar out of the box and needs no integrations. Your memory stays on your Mac with no cloud database, and the team states it does not retain your data or train on it. A Memory MCP option lets you carry that same context into other AI assistants.
Key Benefits
- Finds high-value action items by capturing your personal context across the apps you already use
- Traces your decisions and resolves closed loops without manual effort
- Pings you at the right moment so frequent context switching does not cost you commitments
- Keeps memory on your Mac with no cloud database and no training on your data
- Reads screen content through Apple's accessibility infrastructure instead of taking screenshots
- Runs right out of the box with no integrations and no setup beyond downloading the app
How It Works
You download minimi for Mac and keep working as usual, because the app requires no setup or integrations. minimi reads on-screen activity through Apple's accessibility infrastructure and builds memories about how you work. It then scans that context for open loops and high-value action items, which land in the Open Loops Inbox, where minimi traces each one and closes the loops it can resolve. Through Memory MCP, you can also plug the stored memory into other AI assistants.
Use Cases
- Founders and operators juggling several projects use the Open Loops Inbox to keep promises made across chat, email and calendar from slipping
- Knowledge workers who context-switch all day rely on minimi's pings to keep the right tasks on their plate
- Developers and AI power users plug their memory into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini through Memory MCP so they stop re-explaining themselves
- Consultants and freelancers track commitments scattered across WhatsApp and Gmail without writing notes by hand
- Privacy-conscious professionals keep their personal context local to the Mac instead of a cloud database
Why Choose This Product
minimi treats privacy as a design constraint rather than a setting: memory lives on your Mac, no cloud database holds it, and the team says it does not retain or train on your data. It also reads your screen through Apple's accessibility layer instead of capturing screenshots. Because the app needs no integrations, it starts working on day one, and Memory MCP keeps that memory portable to other AI tools. The app is built for Mac.

Frequently asked questions about minimi
How can minimi help me?
minimi first creates memories so it knows you well, then uses that context to find and automatically close open loops for you. The site says it can be a life-saver if you context-switch frequently.
What does minimi mean by memory?
Memory is your personal context. Just as your brain relies on senses to create and store memories in the physical world, minimi does this for your digital activity on your Mac.
What is minimi MCP?
minimi MCP works like a digital pendrive that lets you plug all your memories into any AI, including LLMs such as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, plus harnesses like OpenClaw and Hermes.

Your memory is stored on your Mac. The team states it does not store private data on its servers, does not retain your data and does not train on it.
