Breadcrumb is a free Mac app that gives your coding agents the context from everything you did today

A developer who closes Claude Code at the end of the day has to re-explain their project to it in the morning.

Breadcrumb is a free Mac app from a company called Innerloop that keeps a local, encrypted record of everything on your screen and in your meetings, then feeds it to the coding agents already on your machine when they ask. The product page, launched on Product Hunt this week with 41 points on an accompanying Hacker News thread, lists four supported harnesses: Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, and opencode.

What it does

The pitch is a context store that sits beside your editor and your chat tool and offers each one three things when it asks: what you were doing, what was decided, and what the rules are. Three sample exchanges from the product page:

• "My disk is full. Any ideas?" is answered with "Same thing as last month. Time Machine snapshots are filling up the disk," followed by the exact tmutil commands and the current snapshot size on disk (197 GB).
• "What do I owe from today's standup?" returns the three asks from the 09:32 standup, each with the name of the person who made them.
• "What did I do yesterday?" returns a timed breakdown of the day: 08:40 to 09:35 on email and support, 09:35 to 10:05 on standup, 10:05 to 13:20 on the loyalty dashboard, and so on, with the longest uninterrupted stretch flagged.

Three facts a buyer should check

First, the licence. Innerloop says the free version is free forever: no account, no email, no credit card, no subscription, no telemetry, and the file keeps working whatever happens to the company. The paid layer is a "founding seat" at $299 for a numbered spot (1024 total, 1022 still open at launch) with early builds and a $2,500 credit toward a future team product.

Second, how it handles data. Everything is on the Mac, encrypted with a key that stays in Keychain and recoverable through a 12-word BIP39 phrase. Transcription, speaker naming, and the daily organising all run on local models. Innerloop runs one daily update check with nothing posted, and tells users to watch Little Snitch if they want to verify. Speaker naming comes from what is on screen, not voiceprints.

Third, the hardware floor. Breadcrumb requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later), at least 16 GB of RAM, and macOS 15 or later. Meeting transcription at launch is Zoom only; Google Meet, Teams, and Windows and Linux are listed as "fast follows".

For a working developer, the practical use is not the screen recording. It is a shared memory the four tools in daily rotation can all draw from, so Claude Code remembers the design decision that landed in Cursor the day before. Breadcrumb's scope system (a rule set per project folder) means a rule you teach any one of them (for example "never push main without me saying so") applies to all of them from then on.
