Local-first AI memory bridge between browser chats and IDEs

Glia is a 100% offline, open-source memory bridge. A Chrome extension auto-saves your web-based Claude/ChatGPT chats, while a native MCP server lets Cursor/Claude Code query those decisions locally from your shared SQLite database.

Great work! The 7-platform Chrome extension surface is probably the trickiest bet here? Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini all rework their DOM constantly and each one breaks differently.
@artstavenka1 On point! maintaining and constanly extracting dom is the trickiest part, so i made a Selector staleness checker which runs every week and creates a issue if DOM changes in any of the supported platform.
The hard problem here really is not capture, it's truth. A useful next signal might be a lightweight "was this actually used?" loop that doesn't require full IDE telemetry. For example, let the MCP side observe which retrieved items were cited during an edit, survived into the final task summary, or were explicitly kept vs dismissed by the user.
That still wouldn't prove correctness, but it would give you a practical reinforcement signal for separating real decisions from exploration without turning the product into a heavy observability system.
This is awesome! I built something similar, but took the opposite direction — no local setup, pure clipboard injection within certain LLM's.
@riveradev Thanks Nico. Clipboard injection is honestly such an elegant and lightweight way to solve this without forcing users to run background services or local databases.
We ended up going the heavy local-first route (SQLite vector db + Knowledge Graph) because we wanted cross-platform memory tracking (so a conversation in ChatGPT could automatically provide context to Claude tomorrow) and persistent semantic search. But both approaches definitely tackle different sides of the same friction point! Would love to check out your tool if you have a link.
@eshaannair Of course! Love the tech around your tool.
Appreciate that Eshaan! You can check it out at pryme-site.vercel.app — would love your thoughts on the approach.
@riveradev Solving the 'blank slate' problem in AI chats is a huge need, and the UI looks slick.
A few quick product suggestions you might consider:
Auto-Injection: Instead of relying on clipboard copy/paste, having the extension automatically drop the text into the chat's input box would make the UX feel like magic.
Preventing Stale Context: Since projects evolve, static cards can get outdated quickly. A 'right-click to append' shortcut from within the chat could help users easily keep their cards fresh.
Clarify Privacy: The site says 'data never leaves your device,' but the Pro tier has device sync. Clarifying if that sync is End-to-End Encrypted will build a lot of trust for devs putting sensitive code in their context.
Even without these features the product still works beautifully.
Love the clean approach you're taking with this. Best of luck with the growth!
@eshaannair This is really helpful, Eshaan, thank you! On auto-injection — I actually tried DOM injection first, but switched to clipboard because Claude and ChatGPT update their UI constantly, and it kept breaking. Clipboard is ugly, but bulletproof. The right-click append idea is going straight into my v2; it really makes sense with that! And you're 100% right on the privacy copy — that's a contradiction I need to fix immediately. Really appreciate you taking the time.
Wish you the best in your future endeavors!
ok this does tackle a huge discomfort of mine. Good job & congrats on your launch
@naimz Thank you Naim, that means a lot coming from you! The context-switching pain is real hoping Glia makes that a lot less frustrating. Would love to hear how it holds up in your workflow if you give it a spin.
This looks like an absolute game-changer for developer workflows! Bridging the gap between browser brainstorming and the IDE using an MCP server is brilliant, and keeping it 100% offline with a local SQLite database is a huge win for privacy.
@manal_essalek1 Thank you so much, Manal. That was exactly the goal. As developers, we discuss highly sensitive architecture, API keys, and proprietary code in the browser all day so having that memory sync to a third-party cloud server was a complete non-starter for me.
Keeping it 100% offline with SQLite (and sqlite-vec for vector search) gives you the best of both worlds: a seamless context bridge between your browser and your IDE, but with zero privacy compromises. Really appreciate the support!
