AI Coding History, Searchable

Only for Mac

Free

Mac

A private, searchable timeline of your Claude Code and Codex sessions. Contextify keeps a searchable record of every Claude Code and Codex conversation you have. Watch sessions unfold in real-time. Each message is summarized so you can skim what happened while you were away, or follow along as your AI works. Search across every conversation you've ever had. Find that one command, that specific fix, or that brilliant solution from weeks ago in seconds. All processing happens locally using Apple Intelligence. Your transcripts never leave your machine. FEATURES • Real-time timeline of Claude Code and Codex sessions • AI-powered summaries generated on-device • Always-on-top window to monitor sessions while you work • Incredibly powerful search - Full-text search directly in the Contextify app - Semantic search from Claude Code or Codex via Total Recall • Companion CLI for macOS and Linux • Automatic project organization • Support for custom database locations (Dropbox, iCloud Drive) TOTAL RECALL - SEMANTIC SEARCH Install via Settings > CLI. Ask your AI to search your conversation history: "Use total recall to figure out why our last release used varying hashes for the same version number across multiple platforms." "Use total recall to find when I was most frustrated and what my greatest insights were over the past quarter." "Use total recall to find where we decided to use Redis instead of Postgres for the session cache." PRIVACY Your conversations stay on your Mac. REQUIREMENTS • macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later • macOS 26+ for AI summaries (Lite Mode on macOS 15) • Claude Code or Codex CLI installed

What's New in v1.3.2 • Search Performance Fix - Fixed a critical issue where CLI searches with multiple terms could hang for over a minute. Searches now complete in under a second. From v1.3.1 • Always-on-Top Window - Keep Contextify floating above other windows while you work. Toggle from the Window menu or use the standard keyboard shortcut. Works across Spaces and full-screen apps. • Unified CLI - The primary command is now just `contextify` (replacing `contextify-query`). Existing installs are migrated automatically via symlink. • Total Recall Skill Improvements - The skill that teaches your AI how to search your history got significantly smarter: - Query expansion and intent classification help your AI construct better searches on your behalf - JSON schema documentation so your AI understands the exact response format - Improved error handling and response envelopes • Companion Linux CLI - Linux users can now install the contextify CLI to search and ingest transcripts. Pair it with a shared database (Dropbox, iCloud Drive) to search your Mac conversations from any Linux machine. From v1.2.0 and before • Tab Persistence - Hidden project tabs now stay hidden after restarting the app. • Total Recall Expanded - Supports Codex CLI and git worktrees. • Tab Groups - Visually group tabs from related projects. • Inline Images - Images render inline with Quick Look preview. • Markdown Tables - Tables in conversation details now render nicely. • Faster Imports - 2.5x faster bulk transcript ingestion.
