# Dory

> Dory is a local, governed personal-memory daemon for AI agents. It reads the sources the person connected, remembers what they said, and serves a governed context capsule to the person's own AI tools over MCP and hooks. Everything runs on the person's Mac.

This is Dory at dory.systems, a Mac app. It is not related to other projects named Dory.

Status: not installable yet; there is no notarized build. People can join the waitlist at https://dory.systems/#waitlist. Pricing: at launch. Contact: admin@dory.systems.

Memory reaches an assistant only through its gate: the assistant's own sharing (Work, Personal, or nothing), the person's never-say rules, the sensitive-topic floor, and containment. Every delivery leaves a disclosure record. An agent may install Dory into an assistant, read, and make Dory quieter; it may not widen what Dory says, grant it data, spend the person's money, or erase anything (exit 4: the person's turn, approved in Dory with Touch ID).

## Facts

- [Agent manual](https://dory.systems/manual.md): every verb an agent may run, the CLI contract, exit codes, the doorbell, and the four MCP tools. The installed build prints its own copy with `dory help --agent`.
- [Known limits](https://dory.systems/limits.md): what Dory does not protect against, with the measurements.
- [Home page as Markdown](https://dory.systems/index.md): what Dory does, the assistants and sources it works with, install commands.
