Common questions about data, models, platforms and open source.

About 5 min readMarkdownLocal-first

Where is my data stored?

Entirely on your machine under ~/.lume/: memories are plain Markdown files you can read and edit directly; conversations and configs are local plain text too. No cloud account, no silent uploads.

Which models are supported?

Anything behind an OpenAI-compatible API — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, GLM, Qwen, Doubao, Moonshot and more — with per-task model assignment.

Which platforms?

Installers are available for Windows and macOS; Linux builds are on the way. See the download page.

Is it free?

Lume is open source under the MIT license, free to use. Model costs depend on your own API account.

Can I export my memories?

Memories already are Markdown files under ~/.lume/memories/ — copy them, grep them, put them in git or sync them anywhere. No special “export” needed.

How can I contribute?

Issues and PRs are welcome at github.com/CavinHuang/lume. Please read AGENTS.md in the repo first for the working protocol.
