Most AI tools wake up with amnesia. Athena is an ecosystem of open‑source, local‑first tools that keep durable memory of your work — a desktop command room for coding agents, a terminal agent that recalls past sessions, a mobile companion, and system‑wide voice dictation. Everything runs on your machine. Nothing phones home.

Athena Code freezes one deterministic memory snapshot per session, recalls related facts on every turn, and indexes prior conversations — its own and your local Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and Hermes histories — with SQLite FTS5.
A local command room for AI coding agents. One Electron app embeds native terminals for Codex, OpenCode, Claude Code, and Hermes, resumes sessions already on disk, generates bounded project handoffs, and keeps recall context ready for the next fresh agent. MCP bridge included, so your agent can drive the workspace itself.
A terminal AI coding agent with persistent local memory. It saves stable
facts and decisions, automatically recalls what's relevant each turn, and
searches across every past session — without shipping your context to anyone.
A memory-focused fork of OpenCode with native memory_write,
memory_read, and session_recall tools.
Your workshop, from the couch. A PWA companion that reaches the Athena desktop over Tailscale — binding only to your tailnet address, with a same-origin proxy into Athena's localhost-only backend. Check on agents and sessions from your phone while the work stays on your machine, off every other network.
Talk to any text field on your desktop. A floating always-on-top widget that records, transcribes locally with faster-whisper, cleans up spoken punctuation, and types the result into terminals, coding agents, browsers — whatever has focus. The local-first answer to cloud dictation tools like Wispr Flow.
Memory, recall, transcripts, and audio live in files on your disk. The hot paths need no backend service and no account. The cloud is an option, never a dependency.
An agent that forgets your architecture every morning isn't a colleague, it's an intern on their first day — forever. Every Athena tool reads and writes durable, searchable context.
Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Hermes — bring whichever agent you already pay for. Athena is the workshop around them, not another walled garden.
MIT licensed. Readable code, real install scripts, checksummed releases. If you can't read it, fork it, and run it offline, it isn't yours.
The LuckeySystems Foundation is the permanent steward of the Athena ecosystem. Software you depend on shouldn't vanish behind an acquisition, a pivot, or a maintainer's bad year — so the foundation exists to keep these tools open, local-first, and maintained, independent of any one company, cloud, or person. It holds the projects in trust for the people who run them.
Every Athena project ships under the MIT license, permanently. The foundation holds the repositories and marks so no buyout or rug-pull can ever close the source behind you.
Local-first is constitutional, not a feature flag. Anything that requires a cloud account, a subscription, or telemetry to function does not ship in an Athena core tool.
Contributions go where the work is: maintainer time, CI runners, release infrastructure, and code-signing certificates — published in the open like everything else.
The ecosystem outgrows its founder by design. The foundation mentors new contributors and adopts tools that share the charter, so the workshop keeps getting bigger.
