●
Auto-artifact log
Every Edit/Write becomes an immutable event in logs/devlog.sqlite. Zero manual log_event calls. Two-hook design ships in 5 minutes.
Your AI coding sessions, remembered.
Codetrail turns Claude Code into a persistent project partner: every file edit logged automatically, every use case & test case tracked, stale-context warnings on resume. No more confident-wrong narratives.
◆
UC / TC tracking, TDD-aligned
Use cases and test cases live in the same SQLite next to every event. RED → GREEN runs are recorded, not implied. Session resume reads from data, not vibes.
▲
Stale-resume warning
SessionStart hook compares devlog last-event with file mtime. If code moved without logging, the warning lands directly in the prompt — impossible to miss.
▣
Multi-project memory
5, 20, 50 projects in one workspace? Codetrail walks up from any file to find the right devlog. One brain across all your codebases.
◉
Browser-native viewer
Drag any devlog.sqlite into the viewer — events, UCs, TCs, test runs render instantly. Pure WASM, your data never leaves the browser.
◈
Local-first, sync optional
SQLite stays on your disk, alongside the code. Cloud dashboard (P2) syncs on your terms. Privacy by default; collab when you want.
Why Codetrail
Honest table. We track what no other AI-coding tool tracks structurally.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Structured project devlog (events / decisions) | ● | — | git only | — |
| UC / TC + test_runs tracked separately | ● | — | — | — |
| Multi-project memory across N codebases | ● | partial (chat memory) | per-repo | per IDE session |
| Auto-log every artifact without code calls | ● | discipline-based | inherent | — |
| Browser-native viewer for any team member | ● | — | terminal log | — |
| Stale-resume warning at session start | ● | — | — | — |
| Local-first; cloud is opt-in | ● | hybrid | ● | cloud-only |

Install
One bash helper:
np my-appscaffolds CLAUDE.md, docs/, memory/, logs/devlog.sqlite, MCP server. Oradoptan existing project in place. -
Work normally
Open Claude Code. Auto-hooks log every artifact. The MCP server tracks UCs/TCs/test runs as you build. Nothing extra to remember.
-
Resume any time
Days, weeks, multiple agents later — Codetrail surfaces the right context. The narrative comes from data, not stale notes.
