Pieces is an AI memory layer that captures your work across apps in an on-device timeline, letting you search past context and carry it into MCP-ready AI tools.
About
Pieces for Developers is an AI-powered memory layer that records what happens across a person's daily work — research, chats, emails, notes, and meetings — into a searchable, chronological timeline. The problem it addresses is context loss: people spend time retracing steps, hunting for a page they read days ago, or re-explaining background to an AI assistant that has no memory of prior work.
The desktop application runs in the background on macOS, Windows, or Linux and forms new memories from the apps a person already uses, capturing what is on screen and what is copied to the clipboard by default, with audio capture available only on an opt-in basis. Users can ask questions about their own history, scoped by time, source, or topic, and generate summaries such as standup updates or day recaps. Pieces also ships an MCP server that carries this remembered context into AI tools including Claude, Cursor, and VS Code. The product is developed by Mesh Intelligent Technologies, Inc.

Who It's For
Pieces for Developers is aimed at people whose work spans many applications and who regularly need to recover past context. That includes software developers tracing debugging sessions across VS Code, JetBrains, or Xcode; researchers pulling together threads from dozens of browser tabs; writers and planners compiling notes, drafts, and documents; and teams that want individual context to become shared knowledge under enterprise governance. It suits anyone who uses AI assistants and wants those assistants to draw on a real memory of prior work.
