Inventory
About Inventory
Inventory is a macOS desktop application that creates a local, searchable index of conversations from AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Zed, Kiro, and Antigravity. It reads the chat histories these tools already store on disk in their native formats, merges them into a single timeline, and enables full-text and semantic search across all of them. The app operates entirely on-device with no cloud uploads, embedding models, or API calls, and indexes conversations in the background without requiring setup. Users can search by keywords or by meaning, with results ranked by outcome rather than similarity to improve relevance. Inventory also supports quick capture of thoughts, clipboard history, and agent access, allowing AI tools to query the user’s past conversations during active sessions. Sessions can be resumed with full context, and condensed summaries of threads can be copied for reuse elsewhere. The application prioritizes privacy, speed, and local-first operation, with a one-time purchase model and no ongoing costs.

Frequently asked questions about Inventory
What AI coding tools does Inventory support?
Inventory supports local chat histories from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Zed, Kiro, and Antigravity. It reads these tools’ native, on-disk conversation stores and merges them into a single searchable index.
Does Inventory upload my data to the cloud?
No, Inventory operates entirely on-device with no cloud uploads, embedding models, or API calls. All indexing and searching occur locally on the user’s Mac.
How does Inventory handle privacy and data access?
Inventory reads local conversation files in a read-only, snapshotted manner and does not require an account or onboarding. Agent access can be enabled to allow AI tools to query past conversations during active sessions, with all calls logged for transparency.
Can Inventory search conversations by meaning rather than exact keywords?
Yes, Inventory supports semantic search alongside full-text search. It ranks results by outcome (e.g., what worked) rather than similarity, improving relevance for queries like 'container stuck' matching 'pod stuck terminating'.
How do I get started with Inventory?
Install the macOS desktop app, and Inventory automatically locates and indexes the local chat histories of supported AI coding tools. No setup or account is required beyond the initial download.
Does Inventory offer a free trial?
Yes, Inventory provides a free trial period before requiring a one-time purchase for lifetime access.
