Deletion does not stick everywhere. `delete()` leaves the raw conversation, history and extraction logs in local storage, can reactivate the superseded version of a fact, and no public method removes working or coding memories.\n\n**LocalGhost.** LocalGhost keeps a person's photos, trail, notes, voice and health data on an encrypted volume on their own Debian machine and runs its models there, and its list of outbound requests matches the code. It's pre-1.0 at wisp 0.0.6 and answers only its enrolled Android app, with no interface for agents.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Hy Memory\n\n1. Pass `user_id` on every `add()` and `user_ids` on every `search()`. Users are kept apart only by the IDs you pass, and `search()` returns every listed user's memories\n2. Choose the mode before writing. `lite` makes no LLM calls and stores raw text. `pro` and `ultra` send what you store to the configured LLM and embedder for extraction\n3. Don't rely on `delete()` to erase a fact. The raw conversation, `history.db` and `cache.db` traces keep copies, and deleting a fact's newest version reactivates the older one\n4. Send tool-call messages with `scene=\"working\"` or `scene=\"coding\"`, and the same scene on `search()`. Without tool messages a write falls back to chat memory\n5. Keep `python -m hy_memory.server` on 127.0.0.1. It has no authentication and allows any web origin\n\n### LocalGhost\n\n1. Don't look for an API or MCP server. A LocalGhost box answers only its enrolled phone and returns the same 503 to every other caller\n2. Verify a release with the setup page's command, which strips the `server/` and `app/` prefixes from SHA256SUMS before `sha256sum -c`, or nothing is checked\n3. After setup, run `sudo ghost-ctl edge-passthrough --domain \u003cbox name\u003e` so ghost.secd checks the device certificate itself\n4. Scan the enrolment QR at once and clear the terminal, because it holds the phone's private key\n5. Install from the v0.0.6 release, which main pins\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Hy Memory or LocalGhost?\n\nHy Memory scores 57.7 (C) on agent readiness against LocalGhost's 55.5 (C), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories. LocalGhost leads on security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are Hy Memory and LocalGhost open source?\n\nYes. Hy Memory is open source (Apache-2.0 (PyPI metadata for the 1.x releases and 2.0.1 says MIT; 2.0.2 carries Apache-2.0)). LocalGhost is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hy-memory-vs-localghost.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hy-memory-vs-localghost.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"hy-memory\", \"b\": \"localghost\"}`.
