Jarvis Orb
Not a tool. A presence.
It remembers your decisions. It tracks your world. It glows on your desktop, alive.

The Problem
Every session, your AI starts over. Your decisions, your preferences, your project context — gone. You explain yourself again. And again. And again.
- "We decided to use SQLite." → Three days later, it suggests PostgreSQL.
- "This PR was merged yesterday." → It doesn't know. It never remembers state.
- "What was the architecture decision?" → Gone. The session ended.
The Solution
Jarvis Orb gives your AI a persistent brain and shows its thought process as a living orb on your desktop.
| Without Jarvis Orb | With Jarvis Orb | |
|---|---|---|
| Context | Every session starts from zero | Carries over automatically |
| Decisions | Reversed decisions come back | Contradictions detected and filtered |
| State | "What's the status?" → guess | Exact state + transition history |
| Visibility | No idea what it's thinking | Every thought, live on your screen |
Install
macOS (Apple Silicon) / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/whynowlab/jarvis-orb/main/install.sh | bash
Requires Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4). Use the terminal command above for the smoothest install experience.
Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/whynowlab/jarvis-orb/main/install.ps1 | iex
That's it. Brain starts. Orb floats. Claude Code connects.
Brain Lite
Watch it think.
| # | Feature | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | 4-Tier Memory | Episodic, semantic, project, procedural — auto-classified and ranked by recency |
| 02 | Temporal Scoring | 30-day half-life decay. Recent memories surface first. Old context fades naturally |
| 03 | Contradiction Detection | Conflicting memories flagged. Superseded decisions marked stale. Only truth surfaces |
| 04 | Entity Tracking | Projects, PRs, decisions tracked as objects with full state transition history |
| 05 | Relationship Storage | People → projects → decisions connected as a lightweight knowledge graph |
| 06 | FTS5 Search | Full-text search across all memories with observation filtering |
MCP Tools
memory_save Save a memory (auto-classified into 4 tiers)
memory_search Search with temporal scoring + contradiction filtering
memory_verify Mark memories as verified, superseded, or contradicted
entity_create Track a project, person, decision, or tool
entity_update Update entity state (records transition history)
entity_query Query entities by type or name
entity_relate Create relationships between entities
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible tool.
Orb
Every thought, visible.
The orb is not decorative. It shows you what the brain is doing, in real time.
| Brain Event | Orb Response |
|---|---|
| Memory saved | Particles absorb into orb |
| Contradiction detected | Red/orange pulse wave |
| Entity state changed | Cyan flash + scale pulse |
| Search executed | Violet color shift |
| Context compressed | Shrink, brighten, expand |
| Team dispatched | Orb splits into sub-orbs |
3MB desktop app. Always-on-top. Draggable. Click to see logs.
In Practice
Monday morning standup — "What did we work on last week?" Brain searches episodic memories with temporal scoring. Returns a ranked summary. No digging through chat history.
Mid-project contradiction — "We should use Redis for caching." Brain detects this contradicts a previous decision. Flags the conflict. The orb pulses red. You see it happening.
New session, no context loss — "Continue where we left off." Brain loads project state, recent decisions, and your preferences. No re-explaining.

Origin
Jarvis Orb was extracted from a working AI control plane — Jarvis — running 19 modules, a knowledge graph with 100+ entities, 500+ memories, and 22 agent teams. This is the lightweight, open-source version of that brain.
"I built a personal AI operating system. After months of using it, I realized the core — the brain and the visualization — should be available to everyone."
Roadmap
- Orb Customization — Custom orb skins, color themes, animation profiles
- Brain Pro — Advanced memory with full knowledge graph, multi-model routing, autonomous reasoning loop
- Auto-update — Seamless in-app updates
- Plugin System — Extend Brain with custom MCP tools
