Mantra

Mantra is a local-first desktop application that replays AI coding sessions from Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini CLI to restore specific code states.

Mantra functions as a local-first desktop application designed to replay AI coding sessions generated by tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and the Gemini CLI. Users can click on any message within a session to revert the code to the state it existed in at that specific moment in time. The application operates entirely offline to maintain data privacy and security. It includes functionality for detecting sensitive data, managing MCP services, and performing searches across all recorded sessions. The software targets developers who rely on AI coding assistants and require a way to review or restore past development interactions.
