How NORDON Works

Think of NORDON as a notebook for your AI coding assistant. It writes down the important stuff from every coding session, so next time your AI already knows what happened.

The Pipeline

Like a really good assistant taking notes

Imagine you had a human assistant who sat next to you while you coded, wrote down everything important, and briefed your AI before every new session. That's NORDON.

01

Watch & Capture

While you code with your AI assistant, NORDON quietly watches what happens. It notices decisions, errors, patterns, and important context — and writes them down.

02

Organize & Score

Not everything is worth remembering. NORDON figures out what matters, tags it with the right labels, links it to the right files, and gives it an importance score.

03

Recall & Inject

Next time you start a coding session, NORDON picks the most relevant memories and gives them to your AI assistant. It's like your AI read its own diary before starting work.

Memory Types

Seven kinds of things NORDON remembers

Your project isn't just code. It's decisions, patterns, mistakes, and rules. NORDON understands the difference and stores each type in a way your AI can use.

FACT

Facts

Things that are true about your project — like which database you use, what version of React you're on, or where your API lives.

DECISION

Decisions

Choices your team made and why — like why you picked Postgres instead of MongoDB, or why you went with REST instead of GraphQL.

PROCEDURE

Procedures

Step-by-step instructions for how to do things — like deploying to production, running database migrations, or setting up a new developer's machine.

FAILURE

Failures

Things that went wrong and what you learned — so your AI assistant never makes the same mistake twice.

PATTERN

Patterns

The way your team likes to do things — naming conventions, file structures, coding styles. The unwritten rules of your codebase.

CONSTRAINT

Constraints

Hard rules that can't be broken — security requirements, performance limits, browser compatibility, or regulatory rules.

CONTEXT

Context Snapshots

What's happening right now — the current sprint goal, an ongoing refactor, a migration in progress. The stuff that changes week to week.

Smart Retrieval

It knows what to remember and when

NORDON doesn't dump everything into your AI's context. It picks the right memories based on what you're working on right now.

What's Related

Memories that are about the same topic or files you're currently working on get prioritized.

What's Recent

Things that happened recently are usually more relevant than things from months ago.

What's Proven

Memories that your AI actually used and found helpful in the past get a higher score.

What's In Scope

Memories from the right branch, the right project, and the right part of the codebase.

Privacy

Everything stays on your computer

NORDON runs entirely on your machine. Your code, your decisions, your memories — they never leave your computer unless you choose to share them.

Runs on Your Machine

The entire memory system runs locally. No cloud servers, no API calls to external services.

SQLite Database

All your memories live in a single file on your computer. You can inspect it, back it up, or delete it anytime.

Share When Ready

Want to share memories with your team? You can — with end-to-end encryption. But it's always your choice.

Zero Tracking

No telemetry, no analytics, no usage tracking. We don't know what you're building and we don't want to.

Integrations

Works with the tools you already use

01

Claude Code

Plugs right in via hooks. Memories are automatically captured and injected — no setup needed beyond install.

02

VS Code

See memory hints inline, capture new memories with a command, and browse everything in a side panel.

03

Git

NORDON understands branches. Feature branch context stays separate from main. Memories follow your code.

04

CLI

Full control from your terminal. Search, inspect, add, or delete any memory. Export and import as needed.

Give your AI assistant a memory

Install the CLI and your AI coding assistant will never forget what matters again.
