Star Growth
Overview
LEANN is an innovative vector database that enables fast, accurate, and 100% private RAG applications on personal devices using graph-based selective recomputation. It serves as a semantic search MCP service compatible with Claude Code and can index personal data like emails, browser history, chat histories, and codebases locally.
Deep Analysis
Achieves 97% storage savings over traditional vector databases by computing embeddings on-demand instead of storing them, enabling large-scale RAG on personal laptops.
