Everything KeepGoing does

A quiet companion that watches your momentum across projects, branches, and AI sessions. Infers everything from git. All data stays local.

🔍 Glance Free

Instant context in under 3 seconds. No manual notes, no effort.

keepgoing glance

Run keepgoing glance in any project directory. Returns what you were doing and what comes next in under 50ms.

ContextSnapshot

A structured snapshot of your current state: what you're doing, what's next, where you are, and when you last worked here.

Momentum indicators

Every project is rated hot, warm, or cold based on recent activity. Glance at the desktop tray to know where your attention was last focused.

Passive inference

No manual checkpoints required. KeepGoing reads git activity, branch names, and file patterns to build context automatically.


📷 Context Capture Free

Automatic context snapshots, zero effort required.

Auto-checkpoints

Saves your context automatically on inactivity, commits, and branch switches. No manual work needed.

File tracking

Records which files you were working on so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

Quick checkpoint shortcut

Save a manual checkpoint with a summary at any time from the command palette or sidebar.

CLI checkpoints

Save checkpoints from the terminal with keepgoing save. Works alongside the VS Code extension for terminal-first workflows.

Claude Code status line

Shows your current task and live AI activity (editing, running, researching) in the Claude Code status bar. Set up automatically with per-project scope.


⚖️ Decision Detection Free + Add-on

Always-on detection surfaces the decisions that matter. Detection is free for everyone. The add-on unlocks full details, rationale notes, and LLM refinement.

Always-on via git hook

Decisions are detected after every commit via a global git post-commit hook. No editor needs to be open. Install once with keepgoing hook install and every repo is covered.

Summary-text heuristic

Scores your checkpoint summary text for decision signals like architectural choices, migrations, and pivots. Git-diff patterns serve as an optional confidence boost.

LLM refinement (Pro)

Run keepgoing refine to improve classification with AI. Confirms, rejects, or discovers decisions the heuristic missed. Works with your own Anthropic API key or Claude CLI.

Auto-refinement (Pro)

Enable with keepgoing refine --enable to automatically refine every detected decision in the background. No manual step needed.

Decision cards in sidebar

Browse detected decisions in a dedicated VS Code panel with category badges and timestamps.

Rationale annotation

Add "why" notes to any detected decision. When you come back in three weeks, the reasoning is right there.

Category badges

Each decision is tagged with its category: infra, auth, migration, dependency, architecture, and more.


📡 Session Awareness Add-on

One calm view of everything running across your project.

Live task panel

A dedicated VS Code sidebar panel shows each session's current task, last file edited, and next planned step.

Multi-session tracking

Track multiple concurrent AI sessions at once. See active, idle, and finished sessions in a single view.

Conflict detection

Automatically warns when multiple agents are editing the same file or working on the same branch.

MCP tool access

AI assistants can query live session data via the get_current_task MCP tool.

Desktop tray support

See per-project session counts in the macOS menubar for free. Licensed users see full session rows with branches and timestamps.
