★ Memory & Context★ RAG / Knowledge Base

🍯 Memory layer for on-device AI Agents. Replace complex RAG pipelines with a serverless, single-file memory layer.

Wax provides persistent, searchable, and private on-device memory for iOS and macOS AI agents, eliminating the need for servers or cloud services. It integrates document storage, semantic search (HNSW), full-text search (BM25), and token budgeting into a single, crash-safe .wax file.

    Can this sync back up to a central Cloud database if the user goes online, or is it strictly local-only?

    Implemented this in a Swift project yesterday. Having a single-file DB that supports vector search is genius.

    This makes offline context preservation so much simpler for iOS apps. No need to manage a massive remote Vector DB.
