GoKawiilDeveloper launches Breadcrumb, a Mac activity recorder and AI context manager
A developer posted a Show HN introducing Breadcrumb, a macOS tool that records user activity and organizes it into scoped rule sets to feed context to AI tools. The demo shows folder-based scopes, such as one for a '/acme' project with 28 local rules plus 22 global rules, and a command to list all configured scopes.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By capturing activity and structuring it into scopes and rules, Breadcrumb could make it easier for AI coding assistants to retain project-specific context without manual re-explaining, according to the demo shown. This fits a broader trend of developer tools trying to bridge persistent local context with AI workflows, though the posting does not specify privacy safeguards for continuous activity recording.
- Breadcrumb records Mac activity to build context for AI tools.
- It uses folder-based 'scopes' with both local and global rule sets.
- The tool was introduced via a Show HN post, typically for early community feedback.
