Tree Ring Memory is a framework-agnostic, local-first memory lifecycle layer for AI agents that prevents memory from becoming raw transcript sludge. It enables agents to store, recall, and manage structured information like decisions, lessons, and durable truths using a ring-based aging model.

Recent versions (v0.11-v0.15) added Rust-native terminal onboarding, DOX/Revolve adapters, multi-agent identities, idempotent worker writes, and project-local harness activation with receipt-backed readiness.

As of

  • Local-first SQLite/FTS storage with no required cloud service
  • Ring-based memory lifecycle (cambium, outer, inner, heartwood, scar, seed)
  • Explicit memory audit, redaction, and expiration controls
  • Deterministic, LLM-free memory consolidation
  • Source-linked evidence and DOX/Revolve synchronization adapters
✓ Best For

Developers who need a portable, inspectable, and privacy-focused memory layer that keeps AI agent context clean, organized, and relevant over time.

✗ Not Ideal For

Use cases requiring distributed locking, network-filesystem coordination, or cross-host synchronization, as the tool is limited to concurrent processes on a single host.

Open Source

Open-source, local-first software with no required cloud services or subscriptions.

A robust, highly performant tool for engineering teams seeking a deterministic way to manage agent memory that respects user privacy and avoids the pitfalls of bloated chat transcripts.
