Every session remembers
where you left off.

Lodestar captures your coding session context — decisions, patterns, rejected approaches — and synthesizes it into a portable file for warm cold-starts that drastically reduces token usage and AI hallucinations.

Free forever. No account required. No email gate.

Every AI coding session starts cold.

You open Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf. The AI has no idea what you decided yesterday. No memory of the patterns you established. No clue about the approach you tried and rejected.

So you spend the first 20 minutes re-explaining your project. Again.

Lodestar fixes this. One command at the end of each session. One command at the start of the next. Your AI picks up exactly where you left off.

Three commands. That's it.

lodestar start

Load context from your last session. Your AI knows what was decided, what patterns are established, and where you left off.

... code ...

Work normally. Commit as you go. Lodestar tracks changes in the background — no interruptions.

lodestar end

Done for the day. Lodestar synthesizes your session into a .lodestar.md — decisions, patterns, rejected approaches, and exactly where to pick up.

See what Lodestar produces.

A project dashboard and a portable context file — synthesized automatically from your coding sessions.

# Lodestar Context

## Decisions

Switched from REST to tRPC

Rationale: Type safety end-to-end. Simpler DX for a solo founder.

Onboarding: email-first, not social auth

Rationale: Devs distrust OAuth popups. Email + magic link converts 2x better.

Ship free tier before Pro

Rationale: Trust and adoption > early revenue.

Drizzle ORM instead of Prisma

Rationale: Prisma cold starts 2-3s on serverless.

## Rejected Approaches

Prisma ORM

Binary dep caused 2-3s cold starts on Vercel.

Multi-step onboarding wizard

40% drop-off at step 2. Replaced with single-screen.

## Open Questions

[BLOCKING] Drizzle push or migrate for prod?

[non-blocking] Show usage analytics to free users?

[non-blocking] Hero: illustration vs terminal screenshot?
