graphicle

Graphicle gives coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor a code graph and memory in a single Rust program.

Why it matters

Gives coding agents a code graph and a project memory with cited excerpts (exact files and lines). Agents can find relevant code, docs and past decisions without you pasting them in, and everything runs locally.

Highlights

• graphicle setup indexes the repo, builds a code graph, connects detected agents, turns on session capture and installs Git hooks. It backs up every file it changes, and graphicle disconnect undoes it all.
• Answers come as cited excerpts within a token budget you set. The makers say it tied grep on finding code and do not claim it saves tokens.
• One Rust program with one SQLite file: code graph, memory, MCP server, web app and CLI. No Python, Docker or database server.
• No account and no telemetry; the only automatic request is a daily update check (GRAPHICLE_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1 disables it).
• Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Claude Desktop and any MCP client.

Taken from the project's own README, docs or launch page. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.

Worth knowing: Speed comparison with Graphify (3.0-22.7x less time on 13 codebases) is the makers' own benchmark, on a pre-release build.
