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.

What I really want is context “check-ins” so I can save and restore state between agents easily. Keeping conversation history gets close
There is definitely value in letting codex take a swing at tasks. I've found multiple times where codex has come up with stronger implementation plans on complex changes.
I actually have a feature of resuming conversations begun on one service on the other. It was working, but I had to prune it for the initial release. If there was strong interest in this I could seek to bring it back.
But maybe you're thinking of more of a /compact and resume on the other service to get the cleanest context to start a convo from?
