Goldfish

What is Goldfish?

Goldfish is a local memory tool for macOS (and Windows) that silently captures what you work on across your apps — emails, docs, tabs, threads — and turns it into searchable, private memory stored on your device. Press ⌥ Option anywhere you type to instantly get contextually accurate replies, summaries, or continuations written in your personal style. It also connects to Claude Desktop via local MCP, auto-generates a browsable wiki of your work life, and identifies repetitive workflows you might want to streamline.

Key Features

• Always-On Contextual Memory

  Continuously captures activity across your Mac apps and stores it in a local SQLite database, building a searchable memory of your work without any manual input or integrations.

• One-Click Writing Anywhere

  Press ⌥ Option in any text field — email, Slack, Notion, browser, code editor — to instantly get replies, summaries, or continuations with full context already loaded.

• Personalized Tone Learning

  Learns your writing style across different apps, scenarios, and contacts so generated responses sound like you, not a generic AI assistant.

• Local MCP Integration with Claude

  Connects natively to Claude Desktop via local MCP, making your full work context available directly inside Claude without any manual setup.

• Auto-Generated Life Wiki

  Automatically builds a browsable wiki from your captured context, giving you a structured overview of your own work, projects, and patterns.

• Privacy-First Architecture

  All memory is stored locally on your Mac. AI requests run through Azure OpenAI with zero data retention — not even Goldfish's own team can access your data.

Use Cases

• Email & Message Replies : Professionals handling high message volumes can reply to emails, Slack threads, and WhatsApp chats in one click, with context-aware responses in their own tone.
• Writing & Document Continuation : Writers and knowledge workers can resume drafts or documents instantly — Goldfish already knows what the document is about and what tone to match.
• Research & Summarization : Users browsing multiple tabs or reference docs can summarize and synthesize content without switching tools or re-explaining what they're researching.
• Workflow Automation Discovery : Goldfish identifies tasks you repeat frequently and surfaces them, helping you recognize and eliminate manual repetition in your daily work.
• Claude Power Users : Users who rely on Claude for thinking and writing can pipe their full Mac context directly into Claude Desktop via the local MCP connection.
