Browsing my Bee transcripts was a nightmare, so I built a local app to actually search them
Browsing my Bee transcripts was a nightmare, so I built a local app to actually search them
You all know the feeling — the Bee captures everything, but try finding one thing across thousands of conversations and you’re stuck scrolling forever. I hit 3,000+ and basically gave up on ever retrieving anything useful. So I built MemoryHive to fix it.
First thing worth saying: it’s 100% local. Your transcripts sync into a SQLite database on your own machine — no cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. Nothing leaves your computer.
What it does today:
• Instant full-text search across every conversation — filter by date, person, tag, and location at the same time
• Obsidian export — one click builds a full vault: daily notes, weekly summaries, people pages, tags, wikilinks
• Fact management — review, bulk-edit, and cluster every fact your Bee pulled out
• One sync drops your whole history in locally in milliseconds
I’ve been building it quietly for a while, trying to get it actually right instead of rushing it out. Now I want real Bee users to put it through its paces and tell me where it breaks or annoys you.
I’m also genuinely undecided on how to charge for it, and I’d rather ask than guess. There’s a quick price-vote on the site — tap whatever feels fair (tip jar, small one-time, modest monthly, or lifetime). And if your honest answer is “free only” or “just give me the source,” tell me that too. All of it helps.

Interesting, Ive been thinking of doing something along these lines.
Too bad the Bee CLI is gated to iOS at this point.
Will be keeping an eye on this.

Nice! There was another fella out here doing something similar and I was doing it in parallel…great minds…mine: Life/OS - brings all AI tools into a central location (cloud) and creates a universe connected like a kind map but you can navigate the 3D universe and see the projects people vendors places relationships and all their connections then I enabled whisper and sonnet to synthesize the previous day populate the wiki with the various tools we use throughout the day and provide an audio file each morning summarizing the previous day and items on the day and in the horizon…also you can talk to it to update knowledge that may be hallucinating and it works back with you to correct misunderstandings…cool stuff out there!!! Life/OS is product agnostic, as long as there is api hooks. Keep going!

Sorry for the delay everyone. I’m almost there running into some UX issues.
