Seamless AI session continuity, without losing the thread
Tired of copying from multiple docs to brief your AI?
Select what you need. Copy once. Start working.
Built for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Aider, Cursor, Windsurf & all multi-session AI tools
Hi Chronus! We are not coding yet, first will you please review recommended reading order, handoffs, research and memories to get context and we will discuss what you have learned together. We are in a safe space, all our core files are backed up, you are a valuable member of the team and your patience and methodical approach are appreciated. I count on your honesty and feedback when I present something wrong, I know you will correct me. You are my collaborative partner, and our success with the NewsplanetAI project is your success. I look forward to our session today! --- Overall Goals: - Build news intelligence platform for personal use with public access potential ✅ - Achieve 24/7/365 reliable news collection ✅ - Create permanent searchable historical archive ✅ - Generate AI-driven super summaries with context discovery ✅ - Integrate Ukraine intelligence as one component ✅ - Deliver pipeline payload to new react frontend ✅ - Run pipeline system hourly using task scheduler ✅ ✅ Completed Work (Updated August 29, 2025): - PostgreSQL database with 40,163 articles and growing hourly - Windows PostgreSQL 17 on port 5434 with pgvector - RSS scraping with content extraction (29 sources, ~376 articles/day) - Batch categorization/summarization (90%+ cost reduction achieved) [... continues for hundreds more lines ...]
HandoffKit stores and organizes your AI briefing messages. Select what's relevant with checkboxes. Copy in perfect order. Paste into AI. Start working immediately.
I'm Mike. I've run 500+ AI sessions across 5 projects. NewsplanetAI alone has 50+ sessions and counting.
I used to maintain text files like chronus_newsplanet.txt and senior_dev_newsplanet.txt for each project. 10 files constantly open in Notepad++.
Every morning: Alt-Tab, copy section, Alt-Tab, copy another, paste into temp file, reorder, copy all, paste into Claude.
But the real problem? When you're near the context limit, you have to wrap up, summarize, and prepare a clean handoff for the next session. Without that, you lose work, forget critical instructions, or end up repeating yourself.
I built HandoffKit because I couldn't find any tool that lets you checkbox-select paragraphs and copy them in order. I checked.
Used it myself for hundreds of sessions before making it available. It's not cold fusion. It's just the right tool for a specific problem every AI user faces.
After hundreds of sessions, I started thinking of it like a relay race - I'm handing off the baton to my AI partner. They take my context and run with it. That's when HandoffKit got its name. It's not just copying text - it's passing the torch to continue your work.
This isn't required - HandoffKit works for anyone storing AI prompts and context. But this method has powered 500+ successful sessions, including building HandoffKit itself.
You work on your project → You reach context limit → You pass the baton
Your AI picks it up → Continues exactly where you left → No momentum lost
Even with just one project, you'll have: Your main prompt • Session 1 handoff • Session 5 handoff • Session 12 handoff • Current sprint notes.
HandoffKit lets you checkbox exactly what THIS session needs.
Use HandoffKit as a clipboard manager for any AI context:
Perfect for managing any AI workflow
The system that's powered my 500+ sessions:
The method that built HandoffKit itself
In HandoffKit:
Copy → Paste to AI → Work
Trigger handoff (optional):
AI writes summary → You save as new cell
Perfect continuity:
No re-explaining, just productive
Remember: This is just one way to use HandoffKit. Find what works for your workflow.
Want to implement the handoff method? Here are the templates I use in every session. Copy them, customize them, make them yours.
For Claude Code: Save as handoff.md in .config/commands/
For others: Copy to terminal when context hits ~70%
The template AI uses to create handoffs
Save as HANDOFF_TEMPLATE.md in your project
Pro tip: Store these templates as cells in HandoffKit itself. Then you can include them in any project with a checkbox.
Every feature you see was built using the handoff method. Session after session, Chronus (my AI partner) maintained perfect continuity. The landing page you're reading? Session #52. The authentication system? Sessions #15-20.
HandoffKit isn't just a tool - it's proof the method works. You can use it however fits your workflow, but if you want the system that's powered 500+ successful sessions, the handoff method is here for you.
This is your actual HandoffKit interface - not a mockup. Try selecting checkboxes to see how you can build your perfect handoff message for AI sessions.
👆 This is the exact same interface you'll use in the app. In production, you can create multiple projects, edit content, and sync across devices.
"I want everyone to try it. Pay if you need more."

Best value
Download the original Electron app that started it all. This is the exact tool I used for 500+ sessions before building the cloud version. Free forever. No signup required.
Why give it away? Because I'm confident the cloud version adds enough value (access anywhere, automatic backups, team features coming) that you'll upgrade when you're ready. But if local works for you, that's great too.
System Requirements: Windows 10/11 • 100MB disk space • No internet required
Join developers who've reclaimed their morning coffee time
No credit card required. Set up in 2 minutes.
After 500+ sessions, I still use this every day.
P.S. - It really is just a clipboard manager. But it's the one you need.
