open-brain-template is a visual dashboard for AI memory systems. It helps you see notes, links, and memory nodes in one place. It works with MCP-compatible AI tools and uses Supabase and Vercel for the backend and hosting setup.
Use it when you want a clean brain map view of your AI memory. It helps you track ideas, store context, and review related items on screen.

On the project page, look for the source files or the latest release files if they are available. Download the project to your Windows PC.
If the download comes as a .zip file, right-click it and choose Extract All. Put the folder in a place you can find, such as your Desktop or Documents folder.
Open the extracted folder and look for the main project files. This app is built for a web-based setup, so you may need to open it through a local development tool or a hosted link after setup.
If the project includes a ready-to-run Windows file, open it with a double-click. If it uses a web setup, follow the setup files in the folder and start the app from your browser.
You will have the best experience if you have:
- A recent version of Windows 10 or Windows 11
- Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or another modern browser
- A stable internet connection
- A free GitHub account if you want to manage the source files
- A Supabase account if you plan to connect your own data
- A Vercel account if you want to host the dashboard online
- See your AI memory in a visual map
- Organize notes into connected nodes
- Track ideas and related context
- Use it with MCP-compatible AI tools
- Build a personal brain map for tasks and research
- Store and view data in a clean dashboard
- Connect the app to Supabase for saved records
- Deploy the app with Vercel for web access
The dashboard gives you a clear view of your memory data. It helps you spot links between items fast.
The app is built for AI memory workflows. It fits well when you want your AI tool to keep useful context.
If your AI tool supports MCP, it can work with this project. That makes it easier to share structured memory data.
Supabase can store app data, user records, and memory entries. It keeps the data side simple.
Vercel can host the app online. This helps you open the dashboard from a web browser on Windows.
- Open the GitHub page
- Read the project files
- Download the repository
- Open the folder on your Windows PC
- Download the project from GitHub
- Extract the files
- Open the project folder
- Follow the setup files in the repo
- Connect Supabase if needed
- Start the app and open it in your browser
- Sign in to Vercel
- Import the GitHub repository
- Add your app settings
- Link your Supabase project
- Deploy the dashboard
- Open the live site in your browser
The project is designed for a web-style workflow. In most cases, you will use a browser and a hosted setup.
If you see setup files in the repository, they may ask for:
- A Supabase project URL
- A Supabase API key
- A Vercel project setup
- Environment values for the app
- Your MCP tool connection details
If you are new to this, start with the GitHub page and look for files named:
- README
- .env.example
- setup notes
- deploy instructions
This project works with MCP-compatible AI tools. That means your AI app can use the same memory data structure when the connection is set up.
Typical steps:
- Open your AI tool
- Add the MCP connection settings
- Point it to the memory data source
- Save the settings
- Test the link with a small memory entry
- Personal AI memory tracker
- Research note map
- Project context dashboard
- Idea graph for writing
- Study memory board
- Assistant memory workspace
- Team knowledge view
After setup, check that the dashboard opens and shows your memory nodes. Then try:
- Adding one note
- Opening one saved item
- Searching for a term
- Checking that linked items appear
- Refreshing the page to confirm data stays saved
The app uses Supabase for stored data. That helps keep your memory items in one place and makes them easier to reuse across sessions.
If you host the app with Vercel, the dashboard can stay online and available from your browser.
- Check that your browser is up to date
- Make sure the app files finished downloading
- Try opening the project again from the extracted folder
- Check your Supabase settings
- Make sure your project keys are correct
- Confirm that the database tables exist
- Refresh the page
- Try a different browser
- Check the Vercel deployment settings
- Confirm that your MCP settings are correct
- Make sure the memory endpoint is reachable
- Check that the tool supports MCP
