Notedigit and Basic Memory
Basic Memory gives AI assistants a persistent memory they write themselves, stored as Markdown files with a linked knowledge graph on your computer or in its cloud. Notedigit goes the other way: people write the notes in Git, and assistants only read them.

When Basic Memory is the better choice
- You want the assistant to keep its own notes and build up memory as you talk to it.
- It is for you alone, on your own computer.
When Notedigit fits
- The notes are a reviewed source of truth that assistants must quote, not rewrite.
- A team shares the knowledge, with different people allowed to read different repositories.
- You need to see exactly which assistant read which note, and when.
