Hearth FAQs

Question 1

What is Hearth and what problem does it solve?

Accepted Answer

Hearth is a local-first persistent AI memory system designed to prevent your AI tools (like Claude Desktop or LM Studio) from forgetting past interactions. It enables them to store and recall information across conversations, enhancing their long-term memory.

Question 2

Which AI tools can I connect with Hearth?

Accepted Answer

Hearth is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), making it compatible with any MCP client. Currently, it offers direct integration guides for popular tools like Claude Desktop and LM Studio.

Question 3

How does Hearth store and secure my data?

Accepted Answer

Hearth stores all your memories securely on your local machine within a single SQLite file (`~/hearth/hearth.db`). Your data remains private and never leaves your device, ensuring local-first security.

Question 4

How does Hearth efficiently retrieve memories?

Accepted Answer

Hearth utilizes a powerful hybrid search mechanism. It combines both semantic search (understanding the meaning of your query) and keyword search to efficiently and accurately retrieve the most relevant information from your memory database.

Question 5

Are there any specific requirements to run Hearth?

Accepted Answer

Hearth requires Python 3.11+. While semantic search relies on Ollama for local embedding generation (~300MB disk space for the model), Hearth can still function with keyword search if Ollama isn't installed.
