Ranked fact injection matching queries exactly. Keeps token overhead minimal and highly relevant.
Displays categorized memories, reference counters, and relevance breakdown for the current codebase.
Modify, re-categorize, prune, or expand existing facts in local memory maps.
Safely clear memories for specific files, domains, categories, or wipe the entire directory clean.
Dynamically ranks, formats, and aggregates workspace file components under predefined budgets.
Take lightweight structured session snapshots, capturing exact working directories and active paths.
Instantly restore previous checkpoints to bring Claude back to the precise workspace state.
Full file mapping, dependency trees, and architecture layout understanding for codebase navigation.

Free for hobbyists. Paid once for serious developers. No recurring subscriptions.
For professional developers maximizing Claude
Have questions about Clarik? We've got answers.
Claude Desktop and Claude Code by default load entire file contents and history, consuming massive amounts of context tokens. Under billing APIs (like Claude Sonnet 4.6), input tokens cost significantly more. Clarik trims redundant files and extracts concise learning summaries in local memory. Only the highly relevant facts are recalled and injected, reducing input tokens by up to 70%.
No. Clarik is designed as a local-first bridge. All indexes, recall facts, credentials filters, and workspace logs are stored 100% locally on your computer inside the ~/.clarik/ directory. Absolutely zero data is transmitted to external telemetry servers. Your code remains completely private.
Once you complete your purchase on Gumroad, you will receive an instant license key. Copy it, open your terminal, and execute: npx clarik activate YOUR-KEY. The CLI will validate it instantly and unlock access to all 20 tools across both Claude Desktop and Claude Code.
Yes. The installer automatically scans your system for active instances of Claude Desktop and Claude Code. It then writes the appropriate JSON settings directly into Claude Desktop's config.json and automatically invokes the claude mcp add protocols for Claude Code. Setup is completely seamless.
If Clarik does not save you token costs or improve your programming workflows inside Claude within your first 30 days, simply contact support for a full, hassle-free refund. Your satisfaction is our primary metric.
