Why it matters

Most AI agent power users today have built Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Codex / custom Python agents that forget everything between sessions (or, when they don't forget, they store their context on a hosted memory service with telemetry, account lock-in, and a monthly cost). JSingletonAI/DejaVu inverts both patterns: the canonical Apache-2.0-licensed local-first AI memory layer that ships (1) a

How this item is evaluated

RepoRadar assigned JSingletonAI/DejaVu a composite score of 8.2 out of 10, placing it in the Gold tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 0.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'low' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation

The 602* repo is at active early-production maturity (created 2026-05-18; Apache-2.0 verified on 2026-07-09) but the consumer SHOULD note that DejaVu requires a Venice API key (Venice is the LLM backend for memory extraction + retrieval -- the consumer SHOULD review Venice's privacy policy before adopting for sensitive workflows); the consumer SHOULD restrict SQLite file permissions on the `~/.dejavu/` directory (DejaVu stores everything there -- `chmod 600` is the right default); the consumer SHOULD pin the `dejavu-memory` pip version for reproducibility.
