memory:
it asks before it keeps.

Tell tonee once that your reverb never goes above 25% wet, and it should hold in every session after this one. That's what memory is for, and every single thing that goes into it is something you said yes to.

02 /What makes a good memory

A memory is one short statement (a few hundred characters at most) that will still be true in three months. tonee is told to propose sparingly, and to leave anything that belongs to this session alone.

worth keeping
not a memory
why
"Reverb wet stays under 25%"
"Set the reverb to 18%"
A rule that holds next week, not a value for one device on one track.
"I mix on Yamaha HS8s in an untreated room"
"I'm working on the drop right now"
A fact about you and your setup, not about where you are in tonight's session.
"Name tracks in caps, three letters"
"Rename VOX LEAD to VX LD"
A convention tonee can apply again, not a single edit it already made.
"Don't add limiters unless I ask"
"Undo that limiter"
A standing boundary, not a correction to the last change.

Memories are yours, not a project's. They travel with your account across every set you open and every device you sign in on.

03 /How memories reach a reply

Not all of them, every time. Before each reply, tonee is handed the handful most relevant to what you just asked, ranked by how closely they match, with a nudge towards recent ones. Roughly eight make the cut.

If it needs something that wasn't in that handful, it can search the rest by topic. That search is read-only and doesn't ask you for anything: reading memories is free, changing them isn't.

Relevance, not recency
A memory from months ago about your monitoring beats one from yesterday about track naming, if you're asking about the low end.
Bounded on purpose
Feeding in every memory on every turn would drown the actual question. The cap keeps replies about what you asked.
Searchable on demand
Ask "what do you remember about my mixing?" and tonee looks through all of them rather than the pre-selected few.
A memory is guidance, not a lock: it shapes what tonee suggests, the way a note from a collaborator would. If you need something enforced on every single turn regardless of topic, that's what custom instructions are for.

04 /Reviewing and deleting

Everything tonee has ever been allowed to remember about you is in one list, in full, as plain text: Settings → Behavior. Each row has a Delete next to it and deleting is immediate: no proposal, no confirmation, it's your list.

Nothing hidden
The list is the whole store. There is no second, summarized copy of you kept somewhere else.
Deleting is deleting
A removed memory stops being loaded into replies from the next message onward.
Or ask in the chat
"Forget that I use HS8s" produces a forget proposal you approve, which does the same thing.
Start clean any time
Clear the list and tonee goes back to knowing nothing about you between sessions.

05 /Memory vs. instructions

Both survive between sessions, and it's easy to reach for the wrong one. The difference is who writes them and when they apply.

Memory
Custom instructions
Written by
tonee proposes, you approve
You, in a text box
Applies
When it's relevant to the question
Every message, always
Grows
Over time, as you work
Only when you edit it
Best for
Preferences you mention in passing
Rules you want followed without exception

A rule you'd be annoyed to see broken belongs in custom instructions. Everything else is better as memory, where it stays out of the way until it matters.
