1In short
Morion is a desktop app where the memory is a notebook you and your agents write, next to a task board. Mo indexes it and answers with the source note and a status; agents claim tickets and get a work packet; Auto-code runs a reviewed workflow.
Supermemory calls itself the default engine for memory and continual learning for agents: an open-source engine, a hosted service, and plugins and an MCP server that capture what your agents do and bring the relevant pieces back.
Pick Morion for a project memory you can read and correct, and a board your agents work from. Pick Supermemory for background recall, or memory inside an app you are building.
2Where they differ
- What becomes memory. Supermemory captures and extracts from agent activity and documents you send it. Morion’s memory is the notes, specs, decisions and tickets that you and your agents write on purpose.
- What an answer carries. Supermemory returns relevant memories. Mo returns an answer where each claim points to its source note and says whether it is decided, provisional or superseded, and it names conflicts and gaps.
- What else is there. Supermemory is memory. Morion adds a board agents claim tickets from, work packets, per-folder and per-note permissions, and Auto-code.
- Who it is for. Supermemory also serves teams building AI products that need memory for their users. Morion is only for developers working with coding agents.

has it, has part of it, — does not. As of September 2026. Supermemory can also run on your own machine; its best pipeline is the hosted service. Morion does not record sessions; agents write notes and ticket comments over MCP. Supermemory is Free, Pro $19, Max $100 and Scale $399 a month; Morion’s plans are on the pricing page. For Morion, 2.0 has a Free plan and is not open source; the earlier 1.5 line, Morion Community, is open source and free but frozen.
4Which one fits you
if you want the project’s decisions in notes you can read and correct, answers you can check against the source, and a board your agents work from.
if you want memory captured in the background with no writing on your side, or you are building an AI app that needs memory for its users.
if you want background recall of past sessions and a written record of the project. Both connect to the same agents over MCP.
Moving over: import the Markdown you keep (CLAUDE.md files, specs, decision notes) into a Morion project and connect your agents in Settings → Integrations → Apps and Agents; turn on AI access for the folders and Mo indexes them into topics.
Comparing memory tools: Mem0 alternative and claude-mem alternative.
5Questions
Yes. Supermemory has a Claude Code plugin, a Cursor plugin and an MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, and plugs into OpenCode and Hermes Agent.
The engine is open source under MIT and, Supermemory local runs on your own machine. Its best pipeline is the hosted service.
Free with $5 of credits, Pro $19 a month, Max $100, Scale $399 and Enterprise, with usage counted in tokens.
Both are memory engines with plugins for coding agents and APIs for your own apps. Mem0 is older, with the larger community and graph memory on its Pro plan; Supermemory is MIT-licensed and has shipped local running and a Cursor plugin this year.
