AI tools will come and go. Your thinking shouldn't disappear with them.

ThreadRecall — threadrecall.ai
the problem

AI memory is fragmented by design.

You research in Perplexity. You build in Codex. You think through decisions in Claude or ChatGPT.

None of them know what happened in the others.

Even inside one app, long conversations get compressed. The exact wording, decisions, and reasoning disappear. ThreadRecall sits outside the apps and keeps the original context locally, before it gets lost.

01 — Siloing

Every AI app is its own island.

Codex does not know what you researched in Perplexity. Claude does not know what you built in Codex. Gemini does not know what you decided in ChatGPT. Every new chat starts from zero.

02 — Compaction

Long conversations get compressed.

That may be good for infrastructure costs, but it means details, decisions, and original wording can disappear from the chat you came to rely on.

how it works

Three quiet acts. Capture, recall, continue.

ThreadRecall quietly keeps the conversations that matter, then brings the right context back into the tool you're using — through search, single-thread recall, or Session Briefs.

  1. 01

    Keep the conversations that matter.

    Install the menu-bar app. No account needed. ThreadRecall helps you keep the AI conversations that matter, so your context stays searchable over time.

    Your AI chat content stays local on your Mac.

  2. 02

    Recall by what you said, or what you almost said.

    Search across supported AI tools with one shortcut. Full-text and semantic indexing run side by side, so you can find a chat by a keyword, a feeling, a half-remembered metaphor, or the date you had it.

    Filter by person, by tool, by month. Pin a thread to keep it close.

  3. 03

    Bring context back when you need it.

    ThreadRecall helps bring relevant context from your past AI conversations into the tool you're using now — whether you're writing in Claude, thinking in ChatGPT, or building in Codex.

    ThreadRecall's Session Brief gives your current conversation the background it needs, pulling together relevant context from past conversations so you don't have to re-explain the work.

private by default

Your AI conversations stay on your Mac.

ThreadRecall is local-first by construction. Your saved AI conversations stay on your Mac — no cloud sync, no account required for the local app, and no chat history uploaded to our servers.

Local-first.

Your saved AI conversations live locally on your Mac. ThreadRecall does not upload your chat history to our servers.

Private by default.

We do not collect or upload the content of your AI conversations. You can optionally send feedback from the app.

No account required.

No login or profile is required to use your local library. Just install and start keeping the context that matters.

Open format. Always yours.

Your conversations are stored locally on your Mac in an open, portable format — readable outside ThreadRecall, exportable any time, and never locked to us.

your second brain

Every AI conversation,
in your knowledge graph.

ThreadRecall doesn't just save your AI sessions — it turns them into structured knowledge. Connect to Obsidian and your conversations become a living part of your personal OS.
