Contextberg Usage Guide

Record, Understand,
Connect to AI.

Contextberg is more than a simple time tracker. It's a tool that transforms your work context into assets for the AI era.

THE SOURCE · RECORD

See what happened, and where.

Record captures the apps you use, screens you see, browser history, what you type, and conversations with AI agents. Revisit what you were doing. This recorded context becomes the source for Remember, Memory, and Chat.

Choose what to record in Settings → Recording. Each source can be turned off.
