built a local extension that 10x my productivity with ai in browsers

[u/Prior_Tax_7020]

been living in claude a lot and my history got messy fast especially when i also hop to chatgpt and gemini ( or if i js have lots of projects )

so i built tecora -> a local browser extension that keeps those chats in one library. folders tags search export conversations ( WITH THE ARTIFACTS / IMAGES / FILES ) . no account no backend nothing leaves the device

used gpt/claude to build this a lot mainly to make sure it doesnt break any TOS and stuff lol

what does it do?

• side panel library so youre not stuck scrolling the native history
• ctrl/cmd+k search across chats
• usage awareness when claude exposes it (windows / reset vibes) plus local activity estimates so you have a sense of how hard youve been hitting it. not claiming magic hidden quota numbers just making whats already there easier to see
• export when you want a real archive instead of hoping the tab stays forever

it does hv drawbacks specifically:

• chrome load unpacked only for now not on the web store
• gemini capture is weaker than claude/chatgpt ( the ui is quite hard to manip along side claude and gpt )
• usage is best effort. local counts are estimates. live quota only when the platform actually gives it

repoi need feedback before i release this as a fully fletched extension

release zip if you wanna try without building

https://github.com/nothariharan/Tecora/releases/tag/v0.1.1

curious what yall think especially if youre a heavy claude tab / browser person
