Contextify

Cross-platform application (Linux, macOS, Windows) that files AI chats into a database the AI can read via a skill or MCP. It backs up Claude Code and Codex conversation transcripts (JSONL) into a complete, manageable history, letting users resume unfinished work, recover intent and scope, verify tasks got done, and recall how past problems were fixed through a 'total recall' skill (/total-recall or $total-recall). It can be self-hosted with all data kept local, or synced across desktops, laptops, and machines via the source-available Contextify Cloud server. Upcoming work includes an expanded Windows app and integration for a third-party local LLM.
