Greplica

Persistent, searchable memory for AI coding agents

Visit Greplica

What it is

Greplica is an open-source, self-updating wiki that gives coding agents, and their human teammates, a shared, searchable memory of a codebase. It continuously extracts decisions, constraints, gotchas, and failed approaches from coding sessions, then retrieves only what's relevant before an agent starts a new task. The maintainers report roughly 50% fewer tokens and 30% less planning time as a result, measured against their own benchmark suite.

Giving a coding agent context on why a past approach was abandonedCutting planning tokens on large, long-running codebasesSyncing engineering context across a team running multiple coding agentsAvoiding repeated mistakes across agent sessions on the same repo

What you get free vs paid

Verdict

Where it wins and loses

Pros

  • Fully open source and free to self-host in Local Mode, with zero telemetry and SQLite storage
  • Captures negative knowledge too, failed approaches and gotchas, which most agent-memory tools skip in favor of only storing what worked
  • Managed Mode adds shared team memory across repo clones and forks via GitHub OIDC, useful for teams running agents in parallel
  • The reported savings, about 50% tokens and 30% planning time, are specific and testable against your own repo rather than vague marketing numbers

Cons

  • Those savings figures come from the maintainer's own benchmarks, not an independent audit, so treat them as a starting estimate
  • Managed Mode pricing isn't published anywhere in the docs or repository as of this writing
  • Requires Greplica 0.2.0 or later and real setup work to wire into an existing agent harness, this is a CLI tool for teams comfortable with that, not a point-and-click SaaS

A legitimately useful idea, giving agents memory of what already failed and not just what worked, worth trying in the free Local Mode before deciding whether Managed Mode's team sync is worth paying for once pricing is public.

— QuestLoops verdict
