Never lose track of what your coding agents are building.

Understand what your coding agents build. Switch agents without losing the thread.

BuildGist is a Mac app for people who code with Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. After each meaningful run, it explains in plain English what the agent changed and what to check. When you switch agents, it hands the task to the new chat, so you don't explain it again.

Questions

What is BuildGist?

BuildGist explains each meaningful Claude Code, Cursor and Codex run in plain English, flags concerns, and carries the task over when you switch agents.

Does BuildGist work with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex?

Yes. BuildGist works with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. A project can use any of them, or all three.

Does BuildGist send my code anywhere?

To explain a run, your computer sends BuildGist what that run needs, and BuildGist passes it to Anthropic. BuildGist does not keep this material. It does not send your whole repository, files the run did not change, or files named like secrets, such as .env files and keys. It keeps the explanation and short cited excerpts of changed code, at most 12 lines each. Secret masking is best-effort. Privacy has the full list.
