ContextPulse is invisible infrastructure that gives AI coding assistants persistent awareness of your screen, your work history, and your project state. Every package runs locally. Nothing leaves your machine.
Install what you need. Each package works standalone. Together, they compound.
Always-on screen capture. Runs in your system tray, captures every 5 seconds with change detection, serves every frame to any MCP-compatible AI agent via 10 built-in tools.
Cross-session persistent memory so your AI agents don't start from zero. Decisions, preferences, and project context that accumulates over time across all your AI tools.
Multi-agent coordination so your AI tools work as a team. Session handoff, shared project state, and conflict detection when agents edit the same files.
Voice-to-text for AI workflows. Dictate to your agents, transcribe meetings, and capture spoken context — all local, all private.
Sight captures your desktop continuously and serves it to Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or any MCP-compatible agent. No manual screenshots. No broken flow.
