# Jevmem

6 Hacker News commenters recommended Jevmem and 8 criticized it, November 2025 to November 2026. It was recommended in 2 of 13 months.

**Verdict:** Repo-owned decision log that keeps project memory across Claude Code sessions without manual prompting. Caveat: sends conversation and memory data to TypeSafe AI, a young vendor.
