Description
Contextify is a native macOS application that provides a private, searchable timeline of your AI coding sessions.Video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvrvRGp4C9MI built Contextify after I realized Claude Code automatically deletes your transcripts after 30 days.Contextify is a native macOS HUD - a private, searchable timeline of your AI / agentic coding sessions.* It provides a unified timeline of Claude Code and Codex CLI conversations.* You can search the history across all your projects.* It generates summaries of your exchanges with the AI locally using Apple Intelligence.* It discovers new projects automatically and lets you organize them for easy access. Even has hotkeys to switch (Shift-Command-[ or ])I learned a lot building this application and would be happy to answer any questions about how it works or uh...the journey.
