AI tools will come and go. Your thinking shouldn't disappear with them.
You ask ChatGPT for quick answers.
You use Claude for deeper thinking.
Then neither of them remembers what happened in the other.
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.
ChatGPT does not know what you discussed in Claude. Claude does not know what happened in ChatGPT. A new chat window starts from zero.
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.
ThreadRecall is a menu-bar app that sits beside your tools and quietly stitches them into one library.
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.
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.
Search your past AI conversations by topic, phrase, tool, or idea — then bring the relevant thread back into your current workflow.
Use a full brief or a single thread. Pull together related context from past conversations, or copy one specific conversation back into Claude, ChatGPT, or wherever you're working.
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.
Your saved AI conversations live locally on your Mac. ThreadRecall does not upload your chat history to our servers.
We do not collect or upload the content of your AI conversations. During beta, you can optionally send feedback from the app.
No login or profile is required to use your local library. Just install and start keeping the context that matters.
ThreadRecall is in private beta on macOS. Drop your email below — we'll send an invite when there's a seat open.
