Breadcrumb

Your AI knows you now.

Breadcrumb plugs into the AIs you code with.
The more you work with them, the more they know.
Private. Local. On your Mac.

Open private beta

Local, encrypted, private

Your memory stays on your Mac.

Breadcrumb records a lot and it's all yours. Screenshots, transcripts, memories and indexes all stay on your Mac. Encrypted with a key only you hold.

Your history stays local

Screenshots, transcripts, memories and indexes live on your Mac. There's no Breadcrumb cloud.

Nothing goes to us

One daily update check with nothing posted (no identifying details sent). Watch Little Snitch to verify.

No voiceprints

Breadcrumb names speakers from what's on screen. It doesn't build voice profiles of anyone.

Record what you want

You can exclude apps, sites, words and phrases on screen. Incognito sites are never recorded.

Encrypted with your key

Your history is encrypted at rest. Your key stays in Keychain. We never get a copy.

12-word BIP39 recovery phrase. Yours, not ours.

Stop whenever you want

Instant pause from the menu bar. When paused, Breadcrumb records nothing at all.

Free, or back us

This app is yours. No funny business.

Breadcrumb runs entirely on your Mac. We hold and collect nothing.

Install the app

What free means

No account, no email, no credit card, no subscription, no telemetry. Completely local, completely encrypted.

Whatever happens to us, your copy keeps working. Funded or not, successful or not, the free Breadcrumb will never be removed, disabled, or restricted.

Download. Actually free.
