I timed how long it took me to remember where I was after getting interrupted while coding.
20 minutes. Every single time.
Phone call. Colleague tap. Lunch break. I'd come back and spend almost half an hour rebuilding what was in my head — which files, what the bug was, what I was about to try, what I'd already ruled out.
VS Code remembers your open files. Git remembers your code. Nothing remembers what you were thinking.
So I built a tool that remembers for me.
It runs in your system tray and silently captures what you were working on — open files, git diff, recent terminal commands. When you come back, you see this:
"You were debugging a race condition in auth.js. You had just added a log on line 47 and were about to check the Redis session expiry."
No manual notes. No copy-pasting. Just open it and continue.
It also has tasks, notes, full-text search, daily AI digest, activity charts, and 7 themes.
Works with Gemini (free), OpenAI, or Ollama fully offline.
Free and open source.
