Install the skill once. Claude Code, Codex, and anything else that reads Agent Skills can then query your history — no MCP server, no credentials.

The assistant inside AfterRay is caged.

It reads your vault and answers, and it has no second mode. No HTTP client, because the crate the loop lives in depends on nothing that could make a request. No shell and no filesystem, because a build rule fails if a tool so much as names them.

Three dependencies and one build rule. Both are readable in a minute.

Point it at a local model and none of this leaves the Mac. Point it at a cloud endpoint and the prompt goes there — that is what choosing one means.

$ afterray search "keeping favorites" --limit 1

[ { "source": "transcript", "time": "Wed 11:02 AM",
    "text": "favorites never expire…" } ]

Read-only. The vault key never leaves the daemon.

Pick up where you dropped it

Ask it to finish the migration you left half-done on Tuesday. It can see which files you touched, and when.

Answer from what happened

“What did we decide about retention?” comes back with the moment it came from, not a guess.

Draft from what you did

The standup note, the PR description, the handoff — written from the week, not from memory.

You did a lot today.
Here's what it was.

AfterRay writes your day back to you in half-hour slots. The model runs here, and it is told never to invent a file, a URL, or a task it did not see.

Written as you go, without being asked
Every line opens to the moment behind it

PR #128 — the storage budget applies to unstarred moments only

Or just ask

Anything you star is exempt and never expires. Everything else lives inside the storage budget you set.

Forget the filename and the app. A half-remembered phrase is enough — or just ask.

Captured locally

Screen, system audio, microphone, and Accessibility semantics are written to an encrypted vault on your Mac.

Indexed locally

OCR, speech recognition, and semantic embeddings run on-device. Raw content and vectors never leave it.

Modeled locally

Summaries and answers come from a model running on your machine — a bundled MLX pack or your own Ollama.

Encrypted at rest

SQLCipher + XChaCha20-Poly1305 encrypt every record. The key lives in the macOS Keychain.
