sessions. CodeFire fixes that.\n\nIt auto-discovers your projects, tracks tasks and sessions, monitors live coding activity, and exposes project data back to your AI via MCP — creating a persistent memory layer where your agent knows what you were working on, what decisions were made, and what's left to do.\n\nTwo platform implementations share the same SQLite database schema and MCP protocol:\n\n| Platform | Technology | Status |\n|----------|-----------|--------|\n| **macOS (Apple Silicon)** | Swift / SwiftUI | Beta — primary platform |\n| **Windows (x64)** | Electron / React / TypeScript | Early Alpha |\n| **Linux (x64)** | Electron / React / TypeScript | Early Alpha |\n| **macOS (Intel)** | Electron / React / TypeScript | Early Alpha |\n\n### Features\n\n- **Persistent memory** — Tasks, notes, and session context that survive across CLI sessions\n- **Task tracking** — Drag-and-drop Kanban board with priorities, labels, and task notes\n- **Live session monitoring** — Real-time token usage, cost tracking, and tool call stats\n- **Semantic code search** — Vector + keyword hybrid search across your indexed codebase\n- **Built-in terminal** — Tabbed terminal sessions alongside your project views, with show/hide toggle\n- **Browser automation** — 40+ MCP tools for navigating, clicking, typing, screenshotting (Electron)\n- **Git integration** — Commits, staged changes, diffs, and branch management\n- **AI chat** — Ask questions about your codebase with RAG-powered context\n- **Image generation** — Text-to-image via OpenRouter (Gemini, DALL-E, etc.)\n- **Notes \u0026 briefings** — Pin architecture decisions, capture gotchas, get AI-generated daily briefings\n- **Gmail integration** — Sync emails into tasks with whitelist rules\n- **MCP server** — 63 tools exposing project data to any AI coding CLI\n- **Universal compatibility** — Works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and OpenCode\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"assets/screenshot-01.png\" alt=\"CodeFire — Planner view with Kanban board, task tracking, and project intelligence\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## Download\n\n| Platform | Download | Notes |\n|----------|----------|-------|\n| **macOS (Apple Silicon)** | [CodeFire-macOS.zip](https://github.com/websitebutlers/codefire-app/releases/latest/download/CodeFire-macOS.zip) | Native Swift app. Unzip and drag to Applications. |\n| **macOS (Intel)** | [CodeFire Electron DMG](https://github.com/websitebutlers/codefire-app/releases/latest) | Electron app. Also runs on Apple Silicon via Rosetta 2. |\n| **Windows** | [CodeFire Setup exe](https://github.com/websitebutlers/codefire-app/releases/latest) | NSIS installer. Windows 10+ required. |\n| **Linux** | [Latest Release](https://github.com/websitebutlers/codefire-app/releases/latest) | AppImage + .deb available when built on Linux CI. |\n\n\u003e For detailed setup instructions including API key configuration, see the **[Getting Started guide](https://codefire.app/getting-started)**.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### 1. Install \u0026 Open\n\nDownload for your platform above, install, and launch CodeFire.\n\n### 2. Add Your OpenRouter API Key\n\nOpen Settings and go to the **Engine** tab (Electron) or **CodeFire Engine** tab (Swift). Paste your [OpenRouter API key](https://openrouter.ai/keys). This powers AI chat, semantic code search, and image generation.\n\n### 3. Connect Your CLI\n\nThe fastest way is the one-click install — visit [codefire.app/getting-started](https://codefire.app/getting-started) and click the button for your CLI.\n\nOr configure manually:\n\n```bash\n# Claude Code — macOS (Swift)\nclaude mcp add codefire ~/Library/Application\\ Support/CodeFire/bin/CodeFireMCP\n\n# Claude Code — Linux (AppImage, auto-synced on first launch)\nclaude mcp add codefire node ~/.local/share/CodeFire/mcp-server/server.js\n\n# Claude Code — Windows\nclaude mcp add codefire node \"%APPDATA%\\CodeFire\\resources\\mcp-server\\server.js\"\n```\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eOther CLI tools\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n**Gemini CLI** — `~/.gemini/settings.json`:\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"codefire\": {\n      \"command\": \"~/Library/Application Support/CodeFire/bin/CodeFireMCP\",\n      \"args\": []\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n**Codex CLI** — `~/.codex/config.toml`:\n```toml\n[mcp_servers.codefire]\ncommand = \"~/Library/Application Support/CodeFire/bin/CodeFireMCP\"\nargs = []\n```\n\n**OpenCode** — `opencode.json` (project root):\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"codefire\": {\n      \"type\": \"local\",\n      \"command\": [\"~/Library/Application Support/CodeFire/bin/CodeFireMCP\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n\u003e Electron users: the MCP server path differs by platform. See the [setup guides](#4-add-system-instructions) for exact paths. Linux AppImage users: the MCP server is automatically synced to `~/.local/share/CodeFire/mcp-server/` on first launch.\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n### 4. Add System Instructions\n\nFor the best experience, add CodeFire instructions to your CLI's system prompt file. This teaches your AI agent how to use CodeFire's tools effectively — session workflows, task tracking, notes, and more.\n\n| CLI | Setup Guide |\n|-----|-------------|\n| Claude Code | [codefire-claude-md-setup.md](docs/codefire-claude-md-setup.md) |\n| Gemini CLI | [codefire-gemini-setup.md](docs/codefire-gemini-setup.md) |\n| Codex CLI | [codefire-codex-setup.md](docs/codefire-codex-setup.md) |\n| OpenCode | [codefire-opencode-setup.md](docs/codefire-opencode-setup.md) |\n\nEach guide includes platform-specific MCP connection instructions (macOS, Windows, Linux) and copy-pasteable system instructions.\n\n### 5. Start Coding\n\nOpen a project folder in CodeFire, then start a CLI session. Your agent now has access to persistent memory, task tracking, browser automation, and code search — all through MCP.\n\n## MCP Server\n\nCodeFire's MCP server exposes **63 tools** to your AI coding agent:\n\n| Category | Tools | Examples |\n|----------|-------|---------|\n| **Tasks** | 6 | Create, update, list, and annotate tasks with notes |\n| **Notes** | 5 | Create, search, pin, and manage project notes |\n| **Projects** | 2 | List projects, get current project context |\n| **Sessions** | 2 | List and search session history |\n| **Code Search** | 1 | Full-text search across indexed codebase |\n| **Browser** | 40+ | Navigate, click, type, screenshot, eval JS, manage cookies |\n| **Images** | 1 | List generated images |\n| **Clients** | 2 | List and create client groups |\n\n## Build from Source\n\n### macOS (Swift)\n\n```bash\ncd swift\nswift build -c release\n```\n\nSee [`swift/README.md`](swift/) for full build and signing instructions.\n\n### Windows / Linux / macOS Intel (Electron)\n\n```bash\ncd electron\nnpm install          # Install deps + rebuild native modules\nnpm run dev          # Start dev server + Electron\nnpm run build        # TypeScript compile + Vite build\nnpm test             # Run tests (Vitest)\nnpm run dist         #
