What is Wife?

Wife is a local-first memory layer for AI coding agents: checkpoints, context packs and auditable receipts keep your projects continuous across sessions, without any telemetry.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Wife does well

  • Local-first with no telemetry
  • Checkpoints and context packs keep projects continuous
  • Auditable receipts for every agent action

Cons: where it falls short

  • Early-stage project
  • Requires comfort with AI coding agents and local tooling

Who Wife is for

Developers who want persistent, privacy-friendly memory for their AI coding agents.

Who can skip it

People who only use hosted chat assistants and don't work with coding agents.
