origin vs remindb

origin: Origin provides a local memory and knowledge system for AI workflows, enabling agents to recall past context, capture decisions and lessons, and distill them into versioned wiki pages. It uses hybrid retrieval (vector + FTS + graph) and git versioning for auditable, refreshable context.; remindb: remindb stores agentic memory in a single SQLite file. It parses notes into a structured tree with temperature tracking, enables efficient retrieval via FTS5 search, and supports versioning and summarization. This reduces token costs compared to re-reading raw files every session.
