Goldfish
ClaimGoldfish is an AI memory app for Mac that helps you reply, write, summarize, and continue with context around you, while keeping your tone and local memory on your Mac.
Overview
Goldfish is an AI memory app for Mac that helps you write with the context already around you. It is designed to live on your machine, capture what happens across apps, and make that context available when you need to reply, summarize, or continue writing.
The product is aimed at reducing repeated explanation. Instead of copying details between tools or rebuilding context for each prompt, Goldfish turns ongoing work into searchable memory and can be used anywhere you can type on macOS.
Features
Local memory from ongoing work
Goldfish captures context as you work and turns it into searchable local memory so you do not need to restate the same background in every prompt.
Tone-aware output
The app learns your writing style across apps, scenarios, and people so generated text is closer to how you already write.
Workflow recognition and reminders
Goldfish can surface repetitive workflows and forgotten follow-ups, helping you notice recurring tasks and pending nudges.
Multiple ways to access context
You can chat with full context from the aquarium in the notch, or use Goldfish inside Claude Desktop through local MCP.
Local-first data storage
Goldfish stores its memory locally in SQLite on your Mac and says it uses Azure OpenAI with zero data retention.
Use cases
Replying in context
Draft a response in a mail client or chat app while keeping the surrounding conversation and prior context in view.
Summarizing scattered context
Summarize notes, tabs, or ongoing work without manually reassembling the background from multiple sources.
Continuing writing
Continue a draft or a thought in your own tone after switching between apps or sessions.
Tracking recurring workflows
Use the app to notice repeated routines and overdue follow-ups that you might otherwise forget.
Working from Claude with local context
Pull the same memory into Claude Desktop when you want to work from a fuller local context in that environment.
