mindkeeper helps you save and manage your AI assistant’s memory. It automatically takes snapshots of AI context files, lets you compare changes, and allows you to roll back to earlier versions. You can use it alone or as a plugin with OpenClaw.
mindkeeper acts like a time machine for your AI’s memory. When you use an AI assistant or agent, it keeps track of its thinking and knowledge in context files. mindkeeper stores copies of these files so you can see how they change over time. If a mistake happens, you can roll back to an older, better version.
This tool is useful for anyone using AI agents who want to manage and control their data better. It supports snapshotting, diffing (showing changes), and rollback in a simple way.
- People using AI agents or assistants daily
- Users who want to keep versions of AI context files

- Anyone wanting a plugin for OpenClaw or the standalone command-line tool

Once on the page, look for the latest release or download section. You want the Windows executable or installer file. It will usually have “Windows” or “.exe” in the file name.
Save the file to a place you can find easily, such as your Desktop or Downloads folder.
Locate the downloaded .exe file and double-click it.
- If it is an installer, follow the on-screen steps to install mindkeeper.
- If it is a standalone program, it should run immediately or open a command prompt window.
You might see a security prompt from Windows. Allow the program to run.
If the installation completed, you should see a mindkeeper window or command prompt. It may show version info or commands you can run.
Try running this command in the program or command prompt to see available commands:
mindkeeper --help
You will see a list of commands and options you can use.
mindkeeper lets you work with AI context files through simple commands.
To save the current state of your AI context files, run:
mindkeeper snapshot
This creates a new snapshot labeled with the current date and time.
To see previous snapshots, run:
mindkeeper list
This will show all saved versions with their timestamps.
To compare two snapshots, run:
mindkeeper diff <snapshot1> <snapshot2>
Replace <snapshot1> and <snapshot2> with the IDs or names from the list command. This shows what changed between those versions.
To restore files to a previous state, run:
mindkeeper rollback <snapshot>
Replace <snapshot> with the snapshot name or ID you want to restore.
If you use OpenClaw, mindkeeper can be a plugin to track AI context silently.
- Install mindkeeper as usual.
- In your OpenClaw setup, add mindkeeper as a plugin according to OpenClaw’s instructions.
- mindkeeper will then automatically snapshot your AI agent context files as they change.
Check OpenClaw’s plugin usage guide for details on enabling third-party plugins.
- mindkeeper does not start: Check that your antivirus or Windows Defender is not blocking the program. Try running as administrator.
- Cannot find snapshots: Make sure you are running mindkeeper commands in the folder where your AI context files are stored.
