What it does
Five things you'll wish you had sooner.
/01
Import everything
CSV phone records, bank statements, Apple connection logs, Nmap scans, XMind mind maps, Reddit threads, SQL DDL, Docker Compose, OpenAPI, Prisma schemas, JSON round-trip. 11+ formats. Point it at your existing data, no re-typing.
/02
See connections
Graph view and outline view on the same data. Switch whenever. 12 layout algorithms tuned per workflow. Smart edge labels auto-generate as you add entities — 75+ relationship rules across eight purpose-built jar types.
/03
Scale that doesn't fall over
Handles graphs up to 20,000+ nodes via an optional WebGL renderer (manual ⚡ toggle). Heavy layouts (ForceAtlas2, community detection) run off the main thread in a Web Worker so the canvas stays interactive while large graphs compute.
/04
Court-ready out of the box
SHA-256 chain of custody on every attachment, auto-computed at attach time. Classification markings through TOP_SECRET. Evidence Package ZIP export with manifest + DOCX + PDF reports. Deterministic output — every report claim traces back to a recorded entity.
/05
Your data stays yours
Local-first architecture. Full air-gap capable on every platform. Optional Team Shelf runs on your LAN — your data never transits our cloud because we don't have one. No phone-home telemetry from the desktop app.
How it works
Three steps. No onboarding call required.
/1
Pick a jar
Eight purpose-built workspace types: Investigation, Case File, Mind Map, Workflow, Systems Architecture, Financial, CRM, Security. Each jar knows the entity types and fields your work needs — ~120 domain-specific attributes total.
/2
Fill it
Import from 11+ formats or build as you go. Rich notes with @mentions, attachments with SHA-256 chain of custody, classification markings, relationship mapping. Graph + outline views on the same data.
/3
Ship it
Generate analytical reports (HTML / DOCX / PDF), export Evidence Packages (ZIP with manifest + exhibits + reports), or share via LAN Team Shelf. Everything signed with SHA-256. Nothing ever touches our cloud.

Built by analysts, for analysts.
22 years CI / pentest / software engineering · M.S. · Privately held · American-made
i2 Analyst's Notebook has been the de-facto analyst tool since 1990. It has passed through IBM, Harris Corporation, and now sits under a Canadian corporate parent (N. Harris Computer / Constellation Software). The product shows its age; the licensing does not.
MemoryJar is the work of one American analyst, started in 2026 — inspired by CherryTree's structured notes and XMind's visual mapping, then extended with court-ready evidence chains, multi-domain jar types, and air-gapped operation.
Every case gets its own Jar. Fill it with data imports, research, records, notes. Your graph, your outline, your notes, your reports — all the same data, all in sync, all exportable. Put your Jars on the Shelf for your team. The data you produce stays in open file formats you control: JSON, JSON-LD, DOCX, PDF, ZIP, CSV.
“I built the tool I wished existed.”
