Show HN: Contextify – Searchable History for Claude Code and Codex CLI (contextify.sh)

6 points by bredren 7mo ago ↗ HN

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=FvrvRGp4C9M

I 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.

It’s nice to see this finally launch publicly! The early releases of this is what got me to switch from Claude Code only to try out Codex. I use both now, and Contextify has been helpful to switch between the two.

What I really want is context “check-ins” so I can save and restore state between agents easily. Keeping conversation history gets close
