Most AI assistants are brilliant for five minutes — then forget everything the moment you close the chat.
That's the problem I built litectx to fix. Think of it as long-term memory and focus for an AI:
It remembers across sessions — the decision you made last week, not just what's on screen right now.
It finds the right thing fast — points the AI straight to what matters instead of making it re-read everything.
It flags what might break before the AI changes something — fewer nasty surprises.
It keeps only what matters in view — so the AI doesn't drown in noise or run out of room.
litectx is one of six small, open source tools I've been building. Together they let anyone build their own AI helper — and keep it useful, safe, and on their own machine. The full set:
bareagent — Give an AI a goal and it works out the steps and does them. Build a capable assistant without a bloated, complicated framework.
bareguard — A safety gate that approves or blocks every move an AI makes. Your AI never does something you didn't sign off on.
litectx — Memory and focus for your AI. No more assistants that forget everything and get lost in big projects.
barebrowse — Lets an AI use a real web browser, like a person would. Anything that needs clicking around the web, done for you.
baremobile — Lets an AI tap and swipe real phones (Android and iPhone). Test and control apps on a phone, hands-free.
beeperbox — Lets an AI send and read messages across 50+ chat apps from one place. Reach people on WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram and more — no juggling.
All open-source, local — no accounts, no tracking, nothing locked behind a platform.
