Ofrenda turns those memories into a personal remembrance card and a digital Día de los Muertos ofrenda.\n\nTry the live app:\n\n[https://ofrenda-3cwxygxg.manus.space](https://ofrenda-3cwxygxg.manus.space)\n\nOfrenda stores memories locally in the browser.\n\nNo account.\n\nNo database.\n\nNo hidden cloud storage.\n\nThe remembrance composer uses a replaceable local-model adapter that can connect to WebLLM, llama.cpp, browser-cached open-weight models, or a local inference server.\n\nThe memories we most want help with are often the memories we least want to upload.\n\nOpen AI makes it possible to keep memories on the user’s device, swap models, work offline, and avoid vendor lock-in.\n\n**The machine can help tell the story.
