About
AIDE Memory is a local-first memory layer for AI coding agents and teams. It installs via npm, creates a .aide/ directory, configures MCP tools and editor rules, and stores memories as JSON files in the repository with a local SQLite cache. The system scopes memories to code paths such as src/auth/** or packages/api/**, then recalls only the memories relevant to the file or area the agent is working in.
The product is intended for Claude Code and Cursor workflows and does not make its own LLM calls. It captures corrections, decisions, and findings through hooks and periodic reflection, supports Git-synced team sharing, and keeps private preferences gitignored. The page states that it is free to use, local-first, and requires no account, with anonymized usage counts enabled by default and telemetry disableable via AIDE_TELEMETRY=off.

Free Tier Value
The page explicitly labels AIDE Memory as "Free" and says "Free to use. More features or tiers may be added," with no paid plans, credits, trials, or caps shown. Because the listing_type is given as always_free and the page provides no concrete limits, the conservative FTV is null and always_free_unbounded is true. No account is required, and the page also states local-first storage and telemetry can be disabled.
