MemoRay FAQ

MemoRay is a local-first document search and retrieval app for private records. It helps you search and ask questions across selected files with answers grounded in your own documents.

MemoRay is for privacy-conscious professionals, micro-business owners, consultants, founders, and individuals who manage sensitive personal or work records.

MemoRay is useful for receipts, tax records, statements, IDs, forms, invoices, agreements, warranties, policies, letters, scans, screenshots, and notes.

The current early-access build supports PDF, DOCX, PNG, JPG, and JPEG files.

No document content is uploaded for the current core local workflow. Core MemoRay functionality is designed around local import, processing, indexing, search, and evidence-backed retrieval on the user's device.

The current core local workflow is designed around local document processing. Download, licensing, support, recovery, or future sync features may introduce account or license flows later.

The core document workflow is designed to run locally. Some website, download, licensing, update, support, or future optional features may require internet access.

MemoRay processes files you explicitly select from local file paths. If a cloud-sync folder is present locally on your device, MemoRay treats selected files as local files. Cloud-sync behavior is controlled by that provider, not MemoRay.

Ask MemoRay is retrieval-focused. It is designed to answer questions using imported documents and visible source context, not to act as a generic chatbot.

MemoRay should avoid unsupported answers and indicate when it cannot answer reliably from imported files.

OCR quality depends on source quality, scan clarity, image resolution, handwriting legibility, and document layout. Early-access results may vary.

Founder Access is MemoRay's early-access cohort. Early users receive 6 months of free access while MemoRay is refined with feedback from privacy-conscious professionals, micro-business owners, and power users.

Yes. Founder Access is currently planned as 6 months of free access for the early-access cohort. Paid download, licensing, and refund flows are not active yet.

No. Windows is the first early-access platform. Future platform priorities will be shaped by early user demand, including macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and additional desktop/mobile support.

Cloud AI assistants are useful for general reasoning and fluent answers. MemoRay is focused on private document memory where core workflows do not require uploading selected files to a cloud AI tool.

Local AI chat tools focus on running models locally. MemoRay focuses on document ingestion, retrieval, evidence, and user-controlled memory around selected private records.

Users remain responsible for managing their original files and local app data. Data management behavior may evolve during early access, and current product limits should be reviewed in the Privacy Policy.

Optional anonymous usage metrics are off by default. When enabled, they are intended to help improve product reliability and usage understanding without collecting document content, query text, embeddings, or file names.
