Show HN: Contextify – Searchable History for Claude Code and Codex CLI
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.
