Your tool remembers its own chats. Only its own.
Every AI coding tool keeps a history, and most let you search it. That works right up to the moment you cannot remember which tool you were using — which, once you use three or four, is most of the time.
It is free, it is already installed, and inside a single tool it is genuinely good: your conversations, your projects, in the app where you had them.
| Built-in history | Inventory | |
|---|---|---|
| Conversations it can see | The ones that tool created | Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Zed, Kiro and Antigravity, together |
| Searching when you forget which tool | Check each one in turn | One search box, one result list |
| Finding it without the exact words | Keyword matching | Keyword and meaning, fused into one ranking |
| Reaching it without opening the app | Launch the tool first | A keystroke from anywhere, app closed |
| History from before you started | Whatever that tool kept | Everything already on disk, first time you open it |
The context you want is in the tool you left
You debugged it in Claude Code on Tuesday and you are in Cursor on Friday. Built-in history is per-tool by construction, so the one place you would think to look is the one place it is not.
Searching four tools is really searching none
Checking each app in turn costs enough that you stop bothering, re-ask the question, and pay for the same reasoning twice.
You rarely remember the exact phrase
You remember what the problem was about. Keyword search needs a word you actually typed, which is the one thing you have forgotten.
If you use one tool and only ever look back within the project you are already in, its own history is free and does the job. Inventory earns its price at the second tool, not the first.
Does Inventory replace my tool's chat history?
No, and it never changes it. Inventory only reads the files your tools already write, and keeps its own index alongside. Your history stays exactly where it is.
Can it search conversations from before I installed it?
Yes. The first index reads everything already on your disk, however far back it goes. There is nothing to enable and no waiting period.
Which tools does it read?
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Zed, Kiro and Antigravity, on macOS. It reads whichever of them are installed and ignores the rest.
Get Inventory — $19.99 once, no account, and it indexes everything already on your disk the first time you open it.
