Chat Health Meter
A free tool for monitoring when long AI chats are aging, slowing, or becoming unstable.
Local-first interface tools for serious AI work
AI is moving fast. The interface layer needs to catch up.
AI systems are incredibly powerful, but their interfaces still limit what people can do with them. Betweenware builds the missing layer between people, projects, and the AI tools they rely on.
Founder story
Built from the problem we kept running into.
We were using AI for real long-running work. The chats got long. Context got buried. Important decisions vanished into old sessions. New chats lost the thread. Summaries helped, but they were not enough.
So we built the missing layer: local software between the user and the AI UI. That layer became Betweenware. The first product is Continuity Engine.
Mission
Help people fully leverage the AI systems they already use.
Betweenware starts with problems we hit ourselves as power users: lost context, fragile long chats, scattered workflows, and too little control around tools that are otherwise astonishingly powerful.
One continuity layer
Built for the AI workspaces you already use.
Continuity Engine supports ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini browser workflows through one local engine and extension layer. ChatGPT remains the smoothest full workflow target, while Claude and Gemini support use documented platform-specific handoff steps where their interfaces require them.

What is Betweenware?
Software between you and the AI.
Betweenware is a category of tools that lives between the user and AI interfaces. These tools preserve work, manage context, expose controls, and make advanced AI systems easier to use safely and effectively across the browser AI workspaces they already depend on. Our Chat Continuity Tools include:
Schrodinger's Chat
Is your chat dead, alive, or both? Monitor the status of long chats, use Browser Reset to recover browser-side function when possible, then create a detailed manual summary handoff for a new chat.
Continuity Engine Basic
The core local continuity system that keeps AI work safe and searchable with local, near-identical HTML transcripts, independent HTML Archive backups, highlights, and clean handoffs across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini browser workflows.
PROContinuity Engine PRO
Advanced continuity workflow with local transcript retrieval, prompt-time context injection, multi-session updates, and optional customer-supplied AI API support.
Great ideas shouldn't get lost between the chats.
Betweenware was created by power users who kept running into the same problem: AI systems are incredibly powerful, but the workflows around them still make serious work harder than it should be. Our mission is to build the missing interface layer: practical tools that help people preserve context, protect important work, and fully leverage the AI systems they already use.
