Context Brief – Capture and compile high-signal context for agents

Summary: Context Brief is a macOS menu bar app that captures relevant context from multiple apps using keyboard shortcuts, then pastes a clean, combined brief ready for agents. It extracts beyond visible content, condenses noisy text, and stores context locally for efficient retrieval.

What it does

It captures context from apps like GitHub, Jira, Slack, and Notion with ⌃⌘C, then pastes a densified, agent-ready summary using ⌃⌘V, combining multiple snapshots into one task context.

Who it's for

Developers and knowledge workers who need to consolidate information from various sources before coding-agent sessions.

Why it matters

It reduces time lost to context switching by automating the capture and compilation of relevant information for agents.
