I Got Tired of Re-Explaining My Codebase to Claude Every Day - So I Built ContextKeep

The Problem: AI Amnesia

If you use AI coding assistants like Claude, GPT-4, or Cursor, you probably experienced this cycle:

  1. Start a coding session, explain your project context
  2. Make decisions, implement features, everything works
  3. Close the session
  4. Open a new session and explain everything again

Every. Single. Time.

It's not just annoyingโ€”it's a productivity killer. Studies show developers spend 20-30% of their time context-switching. With AI assistants, that number climbs higher.

The Solution: ContextKeep

ContextKeep is a persistent context manager for AI coding sessions. Think of it as a second brain specifically designed for your AI development workflow.

How It Works

  1. Store context snippets - Architecture decisions, API contracts, coding standards
  2. Semantic search - Find relevant context using natural language
  3. AI-powered compression - Get summaries instead of dumping entire documents
  4. Export anywhere - Copy to clipboard or export as markdown for any AI assistant

The Free Tier

  • Unlimited context storage
  • Basic semantic search
  • Markdown export

Pro tiers ($9-29/mo) will add advanced AI compression and team collaboration features.

UPDATE: Thanks @thegm26 for catching the broken repo link! Fixed now. ๐Ÿ™Œ

And thanks @godnick for the TokenBar tip - tracking token costs is key. We're working on similar features at CostPulse.ai.

Stop losing context between sessions. Start keeping it.

Thanks for this comment. I'm working on multiple things (ADHD brain) and learning about getting stuff out there so I kind of jumped the gun on that.

github.com/JeremySmythDigital/cont... is the link.

Any constructive criticism definitely welcome, and thanks again.

Also, as thanks for reaching out on my error, if you'll drop your email, or reach out on github, I'll set you up with Pro Access.

Again, thanks.
