AI Memory Reader — Native macOS & iOS viewer for AI agent memory files (supports ~/.continue/)

[nvwalj]

Sharing a small companion app I built — AI Memory Reader is a free, open-source native macOS & iOS app for browsing AI agent memory & config files, including Continue's ~/.continue/ directory.

What it does

• 🌳 Auto-detects memory/config directories for 8 AI tools: Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Continue, Aider, GitHub Copilot
• 📝 Renders Markdown beautifully (GitHub style, MarkdownUI)
• 🔍 In-page find (⌘F), sidebar tree, right-side TOC
• ✏️ Edit mode (⌘E) with syntax highlighting + auto-save
• 🔌 URL scheme + CLI (aimr) for agent integration

Why this might be useful to Continue users

Your ~/.continue/config.json (or .continue/config.ts) often grows into a meaningful "personal config" that's worth reviewing periodically. AI Memory Reader auto-detects the ~/.continue/ folder and gives you a native viewer for the markdown docs Continue writes there.

Also useful if you're authoring custom rules / system prompts in markdown — much nicer than opening them in a text editor.

Happy to add more Continue-specific integration if there are config patterns the community cares about — open an issue and let me know.
