CtxVault keeps your AI's context clean. When you copy a large block of text, it silently saves it to a file in your vault folder. Paste into your terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or any shell) and you get a short file path instead of a wall of text — the model reads the file on demand. Paste anywhere else and nothing changes.
What you get
- Live offload indicator — notch island on Mac (system tray on Windows once it ships), then it gets out of the way
- Smart terminal detection — only intercepts paste in your CLI tools
- History browser — search, preview, and re-copy anything you've offloaded
- Auto-cleanup — old clips vanish on a schedule you set
- Works on any Mac — notch or not (floating pill without a notch)
- Free automatic updates
One license, both platforms
- One-time purchase, no subscription. Lifetime license.
- One active device at a time — move between your Mac and Windows at any time by deactivating in the app. One purchase covers both platforms, no second charge.
Details
- 100% local — no telemetry, no analytics. The only network calls are for licensing (activation, deactivation, and a periodic license check) and an optional update check.
- macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Windows support coming soon — same license, no extra purchase.
