I built an app that preserves, encrypts, searches, reuses, and hands off the full work traces people create with Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other AI agents.
It turns Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other agent sessions into private data assets for your future AI employees.
Some technical details:
- AES-256-GCM encrypted local vault for transcripts, attachments, and state
- No DataMoat cloud vault or server-side transcript storage
- Vault keys and transcript data stay on the user’s machine
- Supported sources today include Claude CLI, Codex CLI/app local sessions, Claude Desktop local-agent sessions on macOS, OpenClaw, and Cursor agent transcripts
- Captures locally written thinking/reasoning blocks when the source tool stores them on disk
- Stores both raw source records and normalized searchable records
- Supports encrypted attachment blobs for supported images, PDFs, documents, and other files
- Password-based unlock with an scrypt verifier
- Optional TOTP authenticator support
- 24-word BIP39 recovery phrase and one-time recovery codes
- Secure Enclave-backed unlock path on supported Macs, with Touch ID in the packaged macOS app
- Packaged macOS app is signed and notarized; Linux source install is available; Windows ZIP builds are available but still unsigned
We believe every person and company should have the fundamental right to own their AI data and build their own data moat.
I’ve been looking for something like this. I’m paying around $300/month across Claude and ChatGPT, and I really want a better way to preserve and reuse the work I create there.

Could this data eventually be used to fine-tune a personal model based on my own work?
Even after an employee leaves, their work data stays behind and keeps working for the company.
