nemu

macOS · private by nature

A quieter way to
remember your day.

Nemu gently records which apps held your attention, then turns the day into a warm, readable reflection—without screenshots, keystrokes, URLs, or content.

Try it with your own day

From source to menu bar
in a few small steps.

Nemu is currently a macOS developer preview rather than a signed installer. The hosted dashboard is ready—you only need to build the tiny menu-bar agent locally.

Your browser pairs privately to your Mac. Nemu records app identity, timing, and idle intervals—never screen contents, URLs, or keystrokes.

  1. 01

    Check the two prerequisites

    If either command is missing, install Apple's tools and Go first.

    xcode-select -p
    go version

    Need Go? Run brew install go or use go.dev/dl.

    Clone and build Nemu

    This creates the local macOS menu-bar process.

    git clone https://github.com/ansonnchan/nemu.git
    cd nemu/agent
    go build -o nemu ./cmd/nemu
  3. 03
