About relai
relai consolidates AI coding sessions from ten different tools—Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Gemini, Cursor, Kiro, Cline, Pi, Aider, and Qwen—into a single local dashboard. It parses the session files generated by these CLI-based assistants and transforms them into structured data, enabling users to resume or hand off sessions with full context. The tool tracks token usage and cost per session, providing real-time telemetry and historical reports. Users can search sessions by title, preview, or project path, and export data to platforms like Obsidian, Notion, Readwise, or Linear. relai also offers local processing for summaries and study plans via Ollama, with cloud fallback if needed. A live monitor shows active and idle terminals, while encrypted cross-device sync ensures sessions follow users between machines. The app operates locally-first, with no agents to install and no data leaving the user’s machine by default.

Frequently asked questions about relai
Which AI coding tools does relai work with?
relai reads the local session files written by ten AI coding tools: Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Kiro, Cline, Pi, Aider, and Qwen. No plugins or agents are required to install; it parses the transcripts your CLIs already generate and unifies them in one dashboard.
Does relai send my code or sessions to the cloud?
No. relai operates local-first, meaning session transcripts, token counts, cost data, and exports remain on your machine by default. Cross-device sync is end-to-end encrypted and opt-in, and session summaries can run on a local Ollama model to avoid cloud processing entirely.
How do I resume an old Claude Code session or move it to another tool?
Open relai, locate the session by searching titles, previews, or project paths, then choose Resume to reopen it in its original CLI or Hand off to fork it into a different assistant. relai generates a context primer from the transcript, CLAUDE.md, and memory to ensure the new tool continues with full context.
How does relai track token usage and cost?
relai parses real session data to provide per-tool token and cost breakdowns, reflecting actual work. Users can exclude side projects from reports with a single checkbox to maintain accurate telemetry.
Can I export my sessions to other platforms like Obsidian or Notion?
Yes. relai allows exporting sessions as CSV or JSON and pushing session notes and reports to platforms like Obsidian, Notion, Readwise, or Linear. Findings can be filed as Linear issues that close automatically when marked resolved.
Does relai offer local processing for summaries and study plans?
Yes. Users can enable local processing for session summaries, handoff primers, and study reports using Ollama at no cost. If the local model fails, relai automatically falls back to the cloud CLI to ensure continuity.
