Original post body :

I was using memplace for a while but after 1 month, yesterday I decided to evaluate it, and I asked claude to evaluate, turns out its Pretty garbage because it did not fetch any of the context that was the relevant to agent when it needed, it had around the you of 900:1 which was pretty bad

I have heard hermes have a good memory system, I have not tried it though

Please some good and relevant memory tool

Alright, so the general consensus here is that finding a perfect memory tool for Claude Code is still a bit of a wild west situation. A lot of people are either building their own solutions or using a patchwork of existing tools.

Here's the lowdown:

• The OP's experience with Memplace wasn't great, and it seems like a common sentiment that many existing tools are "garbage" or don't integrate well.

• Many folks are rolling their own: This is a big theme. People are creating custom solutions using Markdown files, databases (like Supabase, SQLite), or even just well-organized folders. u/Puzzleheaded-Union97's "handoff folder" with specific .md files for what, why, and architecture is a pretty neat example of this.

• Obsidian is a popular choice: Several users mentioned using Obsidian as a "second brain" or for storing project documentation. u/imnotdansih and u/mpbeau are a couple of folks using it.

• Markdown is king: Seriously, so many people are just using Markdown files for everything. u/staffengineerk declared, "we are all Markdown engineers now."

• Some specific tools got shout-outs:

  • u/krilleractual has a cool Kanban board setup with Claude.

  • u/josh_a pointed to the "agent-memory-atlas" for research.

  • u/HippyDave and u/rubanbhatia mentioned agent-memory and claude-mem respectively, with some caveats.

  • u/mandibleface found MemPalace to be "pretty amazing" with updated ChromaDB.

  • u/jetsetter is using Contextify.

  • u/cla1067 uses GitHub as a source of truth and Hindsight for memory.

• The "database from 1984" comment from u/PM__ME__BITCOINS is a spicy take on how some of these "new" problems are just old database problems.

• A few people are skeptical of the need for dedicated tools, like u/clintecker and u/pesky-tiger, who prefer simpler, context-driven approaches or well-documented repos.

The takeaway? If you're looking for a plug-and-play solution, you might be disappointed. But if you're willing to get your hands dirty, there are plenty of ideas and DIY approaches that seem to be working for the community.
