ForgetMeNot

A Twitch chat bot that remembers your regulars — names, inside jokes, the callback from three weeks ago.

Version v0.1.91Released Sep 30, 2026From the last release we recorded

What it does

ForgetMeNot runs on your streaming PC, reads your Twitch chat, and replies as its own bot account. Everything it learns about your community lives in a SQLite file on your machine. Replies come from Gemini with your own key, or from a local model (Qwen, Gemma) through Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible server — nothing passes through a shared backend.

  • Remembers chatters across streams: names, running jokes, callbacks, channel lore
  • Reply modes: mentions-only (default), shadow (drafts replies for review without posting), or live
  • Restraint by design — chat velocity, mention detection and cooldowns decide when it speaks; dead chat gets silence, not filler
  • Persona, tone and reply policy set from the Streamer Online Chat Bot page; safe mode for stricter filtering
  • Moderation: timeout proposals behind allow-lists and a shadow mode, so nothing fires without explicit opt-in
  • Gemini in the cloud with your key, or Qwen / Gemma locally via Ollama — the setup check proves whichever you pick before the bot goes live

Install

  1. Download forgetmenot.exe and run it. It lives in the system tray; nothing to install. Keep it running while you stream.
  2. Pair it on the Chat Bot page. Open Streamer Online → Chat Bot. Pairing is one click — it finds the local runtime and links it to your account — then connect the bot's Twitch account on the same page.
  3. Pick the AI on the local setup page. Open http://127.0.0.1:7331/setup, choose Gemini (paste your key) or a local model, and press Check. The key stays in ForgetMeNot's local config — it is never entered on the website.
  4. Say its name in chat. Mentions-only is the default. Switch to shadow or live mode from the Chat Bot page when you trust it.

Planned, not in this release

  • Sign in to Twitch from ForgetMeNot itself (device code), with no Streamer Online account or pairing step
  • One local settings page for sign-ins, AI, personality, safety and review — replacing the split between the local wizard and the Chat Bot page
  • The Chat Bot page on Streamer Online retires once that version ships; this page stays as the download
