Most AI assistants only know what you paste into them. Minimi, a newly launched Mac app, takes the opposite approach: it quietly watches what you do across your computer and feeds that to Claude as live context, so you stop re-explaining yourself every session.

## How Minimi works

Minimi captures the things that make up your work day — every tab, document, call, and Slack thread — and turns them into ambient memory. There is no prompting and no extra step: it runs silently in your tray and continuously builds context as you go. On the BEAM benchmark from ICLR 2026, Minimi reported 54% accuracy versus 36% for the previous state-of-the-art memory system.

## Setup and privacy

Connecting it is a one-time job. You download the app, sign in, copy an MCP link, and paste it into Claude’s custom connector. From there it just works. Retrieval runs on embeddings stored in a local vector database on your Mac, so nothing lives in the cloud; Minimi uses Gemini only to generate embeddings, and even that never sees your raw data.
