# LocalAI vs memos

LocalAI and memos share 5 technologies: React, Vite, net/http, Postgres, and MCP. Both are written in Go.

- [mudler/LocalAI](https://seerepo.com/r/mudler/LocalAI): LocalAI is the open-source AI engine. Run any model - LLMs, vision, voice, image, video - on any hardware. No GPU required.
- [usememos/memos](https://seerepo.com/r/usememos/memos): Memos is an open-source, self-hosted note-taking app that brings your everyday thoughts together in a personal timeline. Your data stays yours, and you choose what to keep private or share.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: React, Vite, net/http, Postgres, MCP
- Only in LocalAI: Echo
- Only in memos: OpenAI

## Side by side

| | LocalAI | memos |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 1,000,131 lines written, 1,953 code files | 178,467 lines written, 701 code files |
| Who writes it | 2.2% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor | 3.1% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Jules, and CodeRabbit |
| Activity | Last push October 28, 2026, 8,765 commits, 50,022 stars | Last push October 27, 2026, 4,904 commits, 64,120 stars |
| Tests | 1,783 test files. 56.1% of its code files have a test that imports them | 398 test files. 60.3% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
