Run MLX models directly on Apple Silicon. Use local inference as your first choice or keep a local route for private work.
Run a local modelContext beyond one provider.
Keep useful facts and connections in a lightweight graph on your Mac. Make selected context available across your tools and models.
How memory worksPrivate memory, shared by choice

Keep the useful context.
Your project context should not belong to one provider. ppmlx keeps facts, relationships, and their sources in a lightweight local graph.
Apps can read selected context with an explicit grant. You control which tools can read it and which project they can read.
