Every great Claude response starts with context. Minimi listens across your Mac - docs, calls, messages, tabs - and gives Claude the full picture. No prompting. All on-device and private.
Minimi enhances Claude's responses by providing contextual information from various sources on your Mac, including documents, calls, and messages. The tool operates on-device to ensure user privacy.
Overall, commenters are excited about Minimi's ability to enhance productivity by retaining context seamlessly.
I've been living inside Claude for most of my workday, and the one thing that always frustrated me was having to re-explain myself every single session. "Here's what I'm working on. Here's what happened in my last meeting. Here's the email thread you need to know about." Minimi fixes that. It sits quietly on my Mac, reading what I read, hearing what I hear - and then feeds all of that to Claude as live context. So when I open a new chat and ask "what should I follow up on from this morning?", Claude already knows. No briefing. No copy-paste. Just the answer. A few things I love about Minimi: 1. On-device memory - your context never leaves your Mac (the vector DB lives locally). We benchmark at 54% on BEAM vs the previous SOTA's 36%. 2. MCP-native - one link, paste it into Claude's custom connector, done. No new app to live in. 3. Granular control - you pick which apps it can see. Pause anytime. If you use Claude and you work on a Mac, this is a no-brainer install. Three steps and it just works.
<p>the context bottleneck is real. most bad AI output i see is a missing-context problem, not a model problem, so this direction makes a lot of sense. the part id be curious about is signal vs noise. passively capturing everything across docs/calls/tabs is powerful, but the risk is feeding Claude confidently-irrelevant context. how you decide what's actually worth surfacing feels like the real moat here. on-device + private is a smart trust call too. nice work.</p>
<p>Nice product! The on-device, you-pick-what-it-sees approach is the part that I think makes this actually look really usable. I spend my time in the Claude ecosystem too (building governance tooling around skills/access), so the granular per-app control especially caught my eye. Quick question: when you pause it or revoke an app, does the context it already captured from that app stay in the local store, or get dropped?</p>
<p>Minimi catches literally everything. Claude basically now has my personal context and knows everything. Helps across the workday. Remembers weeks of conversations and makes work way more productive than earlier. I can ask it "What are the tasks I should handle urgently" and it knows. I can ask it "Who all did I talk to today" and it will tell me the names, platform the conversation happened on and the context. I also use it to remember followups. Really deep use-case. </p>
