What is memi?

memi is a macOS workbench where Claude, Codex, and Hermes run on your specs, research, and Figma files. It's a signed native app that brings design-aware agent runs, project memory, and Figma/FigJam handoff into one desktop environment. Instead of scattering prompts across terminals and browser tabs, memi keeps the runtime, agent sessions, design artifacts, and run history local and inspectable.

Who it's for

• Product designers who want to run AI agents with full project context, not isolated chat windows.
• Design engineers who need to audit Figma files for token adoption, accessibility, and Code Connect coverage before handoff.
• Design system leads who maintain readable, editable project memory in Markdown and YAML that agents can diff and reuse.

Key features

Design memory

Research, specs, tokens, decisions, and reviews live in one readable layer. Project memory is editable project state — not hidden prompt soup — so agents can read, diff, and reuse it across runs.

Codex + Claude with receipts

Start Codex or Claude Code with the right auth, permissions, and model settings. Every run produces a compact spine with prompts, plans, tools, files, and cost — expandable into a raw log when you need the details.

Figma bridge

Pull tokens, components, trees, and screenshots from Figma when needed. The bridge runs as a local WebSocket server on port 9224, and you can export Mermaid and FigJam-ready planning source before any external sync.

Skill files

memi carries taste as executable practice. Skills like UX_TENETS_TRAPS capture the screen, score tenets, catch traps, and turn critique into the next tweak. The default SUPERPOWER.md defines an autonomous design loop: OBSERVE → PLAN → EXECUTE → VALIDATE → ITERATE.

What stands out

"AI design tools forget. memi keeps the product system readable."

Most AI tools treat context as disposable prompt filler. memi makes design memory a first-class artifact — plain Markdown and YAML that agents can read, diff, and reuse. The Figma bridge, skill files, and run receipts all feed back into that readable layer, so nothing gets lost between iterations.

Worth checking out if…

You're a product designer or design engineer who wants AI agents to work with your design system, not around it. If you're tired of pasting Figma tokens into chat windows or losing context between Claude sessions, memi gives you a local, signed macOS app where the runtime, memory, and Figma handoff stay under your control.
