Retrace
Retrace remembers what you've seen across your SaaS tools so you can find it, ask about it, and reopen it later. Unlike most "browser AI" tools, it runs entirely on your machine — your browsing, your queries, and the model itself never leave your device.
Its UI is the rail (a thin strip on the left edge of the page, hosting your Spaces, Tools, Find, and Ask) plus an in-page overlay that opens Find and Ask over the active tab. There is no Chrome side panel.

What it does today
- Find — instant, model-free recall. Hybrid keyword + semantic search over your captured pages returns source cards; describe what you remember and Retrace finds the page. Works even with the local model disabled.
- Ask — grounded Q&A. The on-device model answers questions about what you've seen — "what was that article about local LLMs from last week?" — citing the pages it drew from.
- Spaces & Tools — group the SaaS apps for a project into a Space and launch them from the rail.
What's coming
- Navigate — reopen the exact encounter, not just the page. The differentiator, in progress.
- Per-tool capture — structured capture tuned to Jira, Linear, Docs, and the other tools you live in.
