Built to forget.
Designed to dream.

CerebraLOS is the layer of subconsciousness for AI agents. Not a database — a cognitive operating system that gives your AI the ability to forget, sleep, and wake up wiser.

Philosophy

Your AI remembers everything.
That's why it doesn't understand you.

Traditional AI memory stores everything forever. CerebraLOS takes a different approach — inspired by how the human brain actually works.

🌙

Active Forgetting

Memories decay over time based on entropy. Only what matters survives. Like your brain, CerebraLOS lets go of noise to surface signal.

💭

Sleep & Dream

Your AI "sleeps" and consolidates fragmented memories into insights. Dreams remain in the subconscious — you only receive the Morning Insight.

⌨️

Zero UI

No dashboard. No web app. Just your terminal. CerebraLOS is designed for developers who live in the command line.

Architecture

Triune Brain Model

Four layers of cognition, modeled after the human brain's evolutionary structure.

core/Brainstem — Immutable constitution. The rules that never change.
────────────────────────────────────────
peripheral/Limbic System — Short-term memory. Raw inputs, fleeting thoughts.
────────────────────────────────────────
dreams/Neocortex — Synthesized insights. What emerges after sleep.
────────────────────────────────────────
archive/Unconscious — Deep storage. Forgotten but not gone.
How it works

Three commands. That's it.

No configuration hell. No setup wizards. CerebraLOS gets out of your way.
