Lighthouse vs Peergos

Lighthouse combines decentralized file storage with a long-term memory service for AI agents. Lighthouse Memory saves project context, preferences, and decisions for retrieval in later sessions, with remember, recall, and forget operations. Its batched engine supports local hybrid retrieval using embeddings alongside keyword or tag matching. Memories are documented as verifiable, content-addressed blobs, and the hosted backend exposes tools through the Model Context Protocol for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other compatible agents. For files, Lighthouse uses IPFS and lists Filecoin and Walrus as storage networks; its web app supports storing, retrieving, and sharing files. Developers can use an SDK and CLI, while documented memory storage options include Lighthouse Walrus, Lighthouse IPFS/Filecoin, AWS S3, R2, MinIO, and a local folder. Plans include a free tier with 5 GB and 10,000 AI memories, Lite at $12 a month for 500 GB and 25,000 memories, and Premium at $49 a month for 2.5 TB and 100,000 memories. Encryption and other features are add-ons. Lighthouse cautions that forgetting a memory may not erase its stored blob, and content identifiers do not establish whether content is true.

Peergos is a storage, sharing, and sync service that describes itself as post-quantum end-to-end encrypted. Files are encrypted on the user's device, and the maker says account keys never leave it. It says the server cannot see file names, sizes, folder structure, modification times, file types, contacts, or sharing relationships. Folder sync works in both directions, uploading changed chunks; users can configure it not to propagate deletions so sync can act as backup. Sharing links can expire, require a password, limit uses, or allow writing back. Built-in tools include calendar, document and spreadsheet editors, PDF viewing and editing, media playback, an image gallery, task board, Markdown browser, and wiki. Desktop apps support WebDAV and CalDAV/CardDAV, and Android syncs calendars and contacts with phone apps. Drive mounting is available on Windows, Linux, and Android, but not macOS. The maker says the software and server are open source and that audits by Radically Open Security and Cure53 are published in full. Self-hosting is free; paid plans list storage from 200 GB to 3000 GB.
