Recall past Claude Code conversations from any project. Lists and searches your sessions, then loads one on demand as clean, compact Markdown — with outline, turn-range, and in-session search for large sessions. Read-only over local /.claude transcripts; collapses tool calls to stay under the context cap. npx -y memocall
Local memory layer over the session histories coding agents already write (Claude Code, Codex CLI, opencode): lexical search, recall tools, session-start auto-recall, secret redaction at index time, cross-machine sync over SSH.
