Semly
Context for AI Coding Agents
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Semly outperforms ripgrep and ast-grep for initial codebase exploration—ask your AI agent to compare and see the difference.
Semly helps AI agents (and you) find the right code and documentation without extra prompting.
It builds a private, on-device index of your Swift projects. This includes not just code, but also the notes, specs, and obstacles you’ve documented along the way. Over time, those docs become essential context for agents — and Semly makes them discoverable.
Ask in plain language:
“Where are push notifications implemented?”
“What was the spec for full-text search?”
Semly returns the most relevant files and sections so agents get up to speed without wasting tokens.
Features
