The Problem
The context window is finite. Claude won't tell you when you're approaching the edge. One moment everything is working. The next you're rebuilding context, searching old sessions, and trying to recover momentum.
Halfway through a long session, Claude loses track of decisions you made hours ago. You re-explain. You repeat yourself. You lose momentum.
Each new session begins without memory. Every decision, every constraint, every hard-won insight -- gone. You don't continue your work. You restart it.
Claude produced something brilliant in message 18. Then the context filled up and it was gone. Recovering that moment is harder than it should be.
THE DIFFERENCE
Don't wait for the thread to break.
AFTER
Most tools help you recover after context is already gone.
BEFORE
ContextHUD helps you see the warning signs early — so you can search, export, or hand off while the work still makes sense.
ContextHUD is the only Claude tool built around prevention, not recovery.
WHO IT'S FOR
If your work lives in long, complex conversations, ContextHUD gives you the visibility to do it better.
How It Works
Add ContextHUD to Chrome in seconds. It appears automatically every time you open Claude. No setup, no configuration.
The HUD appears at the edge of your Claude window. Context usage, session health, and approaching limits -- all visible at a glance without interrupting your flow.
When ContextHUD signals a threshold, export your full session, save key context, or start a new conversation with everything already in place.
What ContextHUD Does
ContextHUD sits inside Claude and gives you visibility you've never had. Every feature is built around one goal: keeping your work intact.
A persistent HUD surfaces your session health as you work. See exactly where you stand and act before momentum is lost -- no manual tracking required.
Get warned before you hit the wall. ContextHUD alerts you at critical thresholds -- with enough time to export, summarize, or branch your session before things break.
Save the full state of any session as structured text. Resume, share, or archive -- on your terms, not Anthropic's.
WHY WE BUILT THIS
AI conversations are getting longer.
More complex.
More valuable.
Yet the tools for navigating them haven't kept up.
ContextHUD was built for people who use Claude as a serious thinking partner, not just a chatbot.
Because when conversations become part of your workflow, visibility matters.
Start free and see what full context visibility feels like. Upgrade when your workflow demands more.
