What is catchup?

catchup is a local-first CLI that transfers and resumes coding-agent sessions across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Kimi, Antigravity, OpenCode and Pi Agent, so your context moves with you.

Pros

  • Resume sessions across many coding agents
  • Local-first, your data stays with you
  • Simple CLI workflow

Cons

  • Terminal-based, no GUI
  • Useful only if you switch between agents

Who may not need it
