## FAQ

### Is my data private?

Yes, memory is stored locally in a SQLite database and mirrored as Markdown files on your machine. It does not pass through any Mneme servers.

### Does it require an internet connection for searching?

You can run semantic retrieval completely offline by setting the embedProvider to local, which uses local embeddings and reranking.
