# 🧠 Your AI Brain, Visible Inside IntelliJ
> **Your AI forgets everything when the IDE closes. This plugin makes it remember — and shows you proof.**
> See your AI assistant's memory at a glance: lessons learned, tokens saved, session history, and brain health — right in your IDE's status bar. Works in every JetBrains IDE.
---
## What This Plugin Does
You've set up the cachly MCP server. Your AI assistant is now learning and remembering. But how do you know it's working? How many lessons has it stored? How much money has it saved you?
**This plugin makes your AI's brain visible.** Status bar widget, health dialog, lessons table — inside any JetBrains IDE.
---
## Features
- **Status bar widget** — Live lesson count and brain health (`🧠 Brain: 42 lessons`)
- **Brain Health Dialog** — Storage usage, tier, recalls, estimated tokens & cost saved
- **Lessons View** — All lessons with topic, outcome, recall count, and what worked
- **Auto-refresh** — Configurable interval (default 5 minutes)
- **All JetBrains IDEs** — IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, GoLand, Rider, and more
