Freemium

Makes every conversation your team has had with AI coding assistants searchable, and flags secrets leaked into those chats.

Unified Conversation Search: Full-text search across the chats, plans, task lists and notes written by five supported AI coding tools, searchable the moment they arrive.
Local Secret Redaction: Passwords and API keys are stripped on your own computer before anything is uploaded; only the last few characters are ever received.
Leaked Key Reporting: Shows every key found, whether it is still live, and how many conversations it appeared in, with support for custom in-house key formats you register.
MCP Server and Recall Tools: Exposes the history to your assistants through an MCP server so they can query past work directly rather than starting cold.
Ranked Action Plan: Derives code findings and a prioritized list of what to fix next, written out as CODE_TASKS.md.
Self-Closing Bug Tasks: Each detected bug becomes a task with a sketched fix, and closes itself once the problem is actually gone.
Config Distribution: Skills and MCP configuration follow you to every machine and to whichever assistant you pick up next, with a per-machine view of what is missing.
Per-Project Rules: Mark a project as a prototype or a live product once, and every assistant that opens it plays by the matching rules.

Credential Incident Response: Find which keys were pasted into assistant conversations, whether they are still valid, and where they spread.
Recovering Past Decisions: Search months of AI conversations to recover a plan or rationale instead of asking the same question again.
Onboarding a New Machine: Sign in on a new laptop and get the full conversation history and every accumulated skill without copying files by hand.
Switching Assistants: Try a different AI coding tool without losing the add-ons and context built up in the previous one.
Team Knowledge Sharing: Share project history selectively with teammates and assign follow-up work from a shared task board.
Security Review Before Shipping: Run the secret monitor and code findings over accumulated history as a pre-release check.
