OpenMemory MCP
ContextForge is persistent, searchable memory for AI coding agents โ built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Your AI assistant forgets everything when the session ends. ContextForge fixes that: save architectural decisions, naming conventions, and debugging context once, and any MCP client recalls it later with semantic search โ across sessions and across projects.
Works with: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Windsurf.
tint2 ContextForge.devContextForge.dev's answer:
ContextForge is memory that lives at the MCP layer, so it works across every AI coding agent at once โ Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Windsurf โ not just one. Save a decision once and any client recalls it later with semantic search. It goes beyond a note store: automatic git sync turns your commits and PRs into searchable knowledge, plus task tracking, snapshots, and team sharing โ all through a single MCP server you add with one command.
ContextForge.dev's answer:
Most memory tools are tied to a single agent or are just a key-value store. ContextForge is MCP-native, so it's portable across all your AI tools; it adds git sync so your codebase history becomes searchable context automatically; and it includes team features (shared spaces, collaborators) that solo-memory tools lack. Setup is one command, there's a genuine free-forever tier with no credit card, and paid plans start at just $9/month.
ContextForge.dev's answer:
Software developers and engineering teams who use AI coding assistants โ Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Windsurf โ and are tired of re-explaining their project, architecture, and conventions every session. It fits solo developers working across multiple projects as well as small teams that need shared, persistent context.
ContextForge.dev's answer:
ContextForge was born from a simple frustration: AI coding agents forget everything the moment a session ends. Every new conversation meant re-explaining the same architecture, naming conventions, and past decisions. ContextForge was built to give AI agents a permanent, searchable memory through the Model Context Protocol โ so knowledge is captured once and reused forever, across sessions and projects. It even dogfoods its own memory to help build itself.
ContextForge.dev's answer:
Next.js 16 (App Router), React and Tailwind CSS for the dashboard, hosted on Vercel. Supabase (PostgreSQL) with pgvector powers the semantic vector search, and Deno edge functions serve the API. Embeddings use OpenAI text-embedding-3-small. The MCP client is a Node.js package (contextforge-mcp) on npm, implementing the Model Context Protocol.
Based on our record, tint2 seems to be more popular. It has been mentiond 7 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
At its Arch wiki article you can find that tint2 is described as a simple, unobtrusive and light panel for Xorg. It can be configured to include a system tray, a task list, a battery monitor and more. Its look is configurable and it only has few dependencies, making it ideal for window managers like Openbox that donโt come with panels to show action icons and/or tasks. It is open source as well and you can find... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
From what I understand u'r not rly looking for polybar , it just doesn't suit u (as a person who switched from KDE recently) , I think u'r looking for something like `tint2` , it looks horrible but u can customize it , check this and this. Source: almost 4 years ago
Generally the icon of an application is defined by its desktop-entry. The patch Desktopentry serves this purpose. Unfortunately, some programs like tint2 or Alttab can't make use of the desktop-entry and Rely instead on a hardcoded icon which has to be defined by the application Itself with the window-propery _NET_WM_ICON. Since st doesn't define _NET_WM_ICON this programs can't display the correct icon for st... Source: about 4 years ago
The intersection of people using both StumpWM and the tint2 panel/taskbar is probably pretty small, so I've not a lot of hope, but here's the issue: for whatever reason tint2 will run fine the first time it's started on StumpWM, but restarting it or quitting and running it again doesn't work. If I run it from the commandline I can see that it seems to be starting normally, but it won't actually appear. Any ideas... Source: almost 5 years ago
I know about candybar, lemonbar and tint2, I don't know if they have features like this. But can't you just not launch it on the bspwmrc, and then launch it, and kill it when you want with a keybind? Source: about 5 years ago
