Create ~/.config/mnemonai/config.toml:

# Only show conversations from the current project directory
local = false

# Hide projects whose name contains any of these strings
exclude = ["some-project", "another-project"]

[display]
no_tools = false              # Hide tool-use messages
relative_time = true          # "2 hours ago" vs "2026-02-18 14:30"
last = false                  # Show last messages in preview (vs first)
show_thinking = false         # Show thinking blocks
plain = false                 # Plain text output without formatting
pager = false                 # Use pager (less) for output
show_deleted_projects = false # Include conversations from deleted directories

[resume]
default_args = []             # Default args passed to 'claude --resume' for Claude Code sessions

Releasing

1. Bump the version in Cargo.toml
2. Commit and push
3. Tag and push the tag:

git tag v0.x.x
git push origin v0.x.x

The GitHub Actions release workflow triggers on v* tags, builds platform binaries, creates the GitHub release, and updates the Homebrew tap.
