RMS Memory GUI

RMS Memory MCP works without the GUI. The vault is plain Markdown. The index is local. The MCP server is fully standalone.

The GUI adds a desktop control plane on top of the same data layer. When you want to see what's in the vault, edit a document without touching a text editor, visualize how architectural decisions connect to code entities, or let an AI organizer clean up outdated notes — that's what the GUI is for. Same vault, same index, different surface.

Why a desktop app, not a web interface

The vault lives on your machine. The index lives on your machine. A web interface would require either running a local server you didn't ask for or sending your vault contents to a cloud service. A Tauri desktop app reads the same ~/.rms-memory/ directory the MCP server writes to — no server, no sync service, no round-trip.

What the GUI adds

• Visual and raw Markdown editing in one window
• Full knowledge graph across vault documents, code entities, and semantic relationships
• Git and GitHub sync for the vault without leaving the app
• AI-assisted organizer that proposes changes for review before touching any file
• Spend tracking across all your AI coding tools
• Doctor dashboard with one-click repair

What stays independent

The MCP server does not require the GUI to initialize projects, index content, search, write memory, or serve MCP clients. The vault is plain Markdown — readable, editable, and portable without the GUI. If you cancel the GUI license, your vault and all its contents remain exactly where they were.

Key Features

Dashboard and Doctor — project health at a glance: document count, store status, index health score. Doctor groups findings by severity, shows a preview of affected files, and offers one-click repair for missing IDs and frontmatter issues. Doctor & Setup screen combines init, MCP client installation, indexing, sync, GC, and Wiki generation in one place.

Visual and raw editor — Milkdown visual editor and Monaco raw editor in the same window, switchable without losing state. Create, rename, and delete files and folders from a file tree. Dirty-state protection prevents navigation away from unsaved changes. Selection-aware bubble toolbar in visual mode. Independently scrollable visual canvas.

Full WebGL knowledge graph — the graph renders Markdown document links, code entities (functions, structs, interfaces, modules), semantic relationships derived from Tree-sitter indexing, and ephemeral embedding-similarity edges in a single WebGL view. Force-layout computed in a Web Worker. Independent filters for node types and relationship kinds. Deep zoom with taxonomy labels. No node cap, no sampling. Bloom effect disabled above ~1500 nodes for performance. Coordinates persist from the durable graph topology — filters and search do not move the layout.

Code structure projection — every code reindex derives a deterministic project → folder → file → symbolhierarchy using contains edges. The graph shows your codebase as a navigable structure, not a flat file list.

Git and Vault sync — per-project Git status, diff, and history. Global Vault GitHub sync with safe commit → pull → push flow. Built-in GitHub OAuth Device Flow — no gh CLI required. Dual status-bar Git domains so project and vault sync state are always visible.

Doctor & Setup — init, MCP client installation, indexing, sync, GC, Doctor, and Wiki generation from one screen. One-click repair for the most common vault health issues.

AI organizer and Wiki — bring your own key across 12 AI providers. API credentials stored in the operating-system keyring, never in MCP configuration or any repository. Inventory-driven organizer proposes reorganization of outdated or duplicate notes. Proposal-only workflow: every change is shown with sources and a before/after diff. You review, approve, or reject before anything touches the vault. Wiki pages are written to <vault>/wiki/ and excluded from MCP search — generated content stays separate from canonical memory.

Spend tracking — local token and cost ledger across your AI coding tools. Period filters, tray click-menu with totals, Antigravity collector, per-tool tariffs. Optional cloud sync. Spend is vendored as a library shared with other RMS tools.

Backup and export — backup history with restore, llms.txt export, Graphviz DOT export for the graph. Live log viewer for the MCP server. Light, dark, and system themes. Interface in 7 languages: English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Georgian.

Platforms

macOS (Apple Silicon) · Windows x64 · Linux x64

Available as .dmg, .msi, .exe (NSIS), .AppImage, .deb, .rpm.

SHA256 checksums published with every release. Verify before installing.

Note: macOS builds are currently unsigned pending Apple Developer account. On first launch Gatekeeper may warn that the app is from an unidentified developer — use Open Anyway as documented in the release notes.

What requires a license

AI organizer and Wiki generation · Spend cloud sync · Vault GitHub sync

Everything else — visual editor, knowledge graph, Git source control, Doctor, backup, export, log viewer — is available during the trial and does not require a paid license after the trial if those three features are not used. The MCP server itself never requires a GUI license.
