I’m the developer of Pola Browser, a macOS browser designed for people who keep lots of tabs open across different projects.

Problem: Standard browsers are not great at handling projects workflows with lots of tabs, references and multiple profiles. Pola tries to fix that with tab organization based on spaces, project profiles, floating tabs and a visual research mode.

Comparison: Compared with other browsers, the main difference is that Pola is built more like a workspace than a basic tabs bar. It also includes memory saving tab unloading trigger, Apple Keychain integration and project-focused organization.

Pricing: Paid is €19.99/year or €49.99 lifetime, with a 3 day free trial.

Yes! There are all platforms in the roadmap.
Conversation branching released! send a message if you want to share your opinion!
You're right, I have in roadmap to optmize it by using directly the providers APIs. Would you prefer different pricing like lifetime license?
Thank you, usefule feature, just added to the roadmap. If you are intereseted, follow product updates on https://x.com/MatteoRicupero or here https://contextch.at/mailing-list if you prefer emails
You can't start fresh chats with updated context and you still need to create multiple chat in your preferred chat service and copy-paste data. But this is SO good to use with development environment through docs or MCP! Thanks for sharing
Yes could be an alternative if you only need it on a development environment
Thank you, you can follow products updates on https://x.com/MatteoRicupero where I put products updates more frequently, or here https://contextch.at/mailing-list if you prefer emails
I love this, it can be very useful to have ready to use library of context data and at the same time a perfect solution to bring in new users. Thanks so much.
I appreciate the feedback!

Yes I will work on make the context management more productive with a ready to use service and with abilities to switch from other services easily.

For what I can see it doesn't offers the flexibility of importing content from a detailed sitemap or private GitHub repositories in a fast way (and more tools to come).

Then it doesn’t has the possibility to switch to different AI models plus you have to pay a monthly subscription.

Will do thanks again!
Yes actually that it's not a trivial topic.

What I can do is to make it very transparent on how data is managed.

The files content are appended to the context builder, then the context and messages are processed through OpenRouter, which is a provider that offers APIs to all the AI models, and the output generated (and the account data) is stored on a secured database on Mongodb platform.

It’s all defined in the privacy policy here: https://contextch.at/docs/privacy-policy/index.html

Yes this sounds very useful and productive. Having project context updated based on external events. I will share it on socials when ready, thanks for the feedback!
I appreciate it, thanks and keep building
Auto syncing added to the plan!
Exactly, similar plus tools to import and manage projects context fast (like GitHub private repos and sitemaps url), multiple ai model and pay per use like using APIs
Yes the long context it's complementary, in other chat services like Gemini you have to rewrite that base context everytime for each new fresh chat, plus they lack of specific data import tools and projects management
Thank you, this could be a cool feature too add! For example the ability to click a link that redirects to other chat services with your project base context you built and optionally all the messages sent until there
Thanks so much, if you try it out feel free to leave feedback if you want!
New tools for a new kind of work!
Thank you, will take a look at your software, competition is always good
I tried to solve my own problems that I had while copy and pasting the same starting context from chat to chat. Now I can generate the base context and start new chats from there.

Show HN: Released ContextChat – A context centric chat for projects productivity

https://contextch.at

I released ContextChat, an AI chat designed to be context-centric, helping you stay focused and productive by giving you control over the information your AI sees. You can import websites, files, and public/private GitHub repos to give the AI full knowledge of your projects.Unlike other chatbots, ContextChat lets you easily switch between project contexts, so you get relevant answers and avoid...

I just published @tapeo/authme, my starting point for Express + MongoDB apps.

It handles JWT auth, Google OAuth, password reset, email verification

I need your help, try it out and help me spot security issues or bugs!
