Neural Brain

Neural Brain is a local-first VS Code extension for turning AI coding chats into clean handoff files.

Add a local chat provider, browse imported conversations inside VS Code, and generate a Markdown handoff when you want to continue the work in another agent or future session.

Features

• Add local chat providers with a folder picker.
• Import Codex, Antigravity, Claude-style, and compatible local session folders.
• Browse conversations directly in the VS Code sidebar.
• Open a conversation as a Markdown transcript.
• Generate a handoff as a real .md file.
• Keep conversation data on your machine.

Privacy

Your chats stay local.

Neural Brain does not send prompts, messages, handoffs, repository names, provider paths, or source code to a hosted service.

License activation sends only:

• License key
• Local machine hash
• Extension version

Free And Pro

Free tier:

• 2 providers
• 3 conversations

Pro unlocks higher local limits. Activation is handled through a hosted license endpoint backed by Lemon Squeezy, Cloudflare Worker verification, and signed local entitlements.

Whitelist/dev/tester access is supported by the license backend without shipping private keys or whitelist keys inside the extension.

Usage

1. Open the Neural Brain sidebar.
2. Run Neural Brain: Start Local Brain.
3. Click + in Providers.
4. Pick the provider chat folder.
5. Click a conversation to read it.
6. Right-click a conversation and choose Generate Handoff.

The generated handoff opens as a Markdown file in VS Code.

Local-First Design

The extension starts a local backend bound to 127.0.0.1. The backend stores data locally and performs handoff generation locally.

The hosted service is only for Pro license verification.
