What to know▼
How it works
Turns an Android phone into a self-hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server by installing a Python MCP server inside Termux, with a secure tunnel giving the phone a stable public HTTPS URL that AI clients like Claude, Cursor or Perplexity can connect to for persistent memory.
What's different
Data is stored locally on the user's own phone instead of a vendor's cloud, with no subscription or vendor lock-in.
Pricing
No subscription.
Best for
Developers already using MCP-compatible AI tools who want to own their memory data instead of storing it in the cloud.
Watch out
Relies on a relay tunnel (relay.memplato.com) and requires Termux running on the phone, with a watchdog to restart the server if the phone reboots or Termux closes.
