About CardGo

Save your context once as encrypted cards, then attach the right one in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity or Grok with the CardGo Chrome extension. Free to start. CardGo is context management for AI, small, reusable, encrypted cards you attach only when you choose. A single set of custom instructions has to cover work, health and family at once. A card per part of your life lets you pick what each chat knows. You decide what to attach, and you see exactly what is shared before you send.

About Trace

A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
