Captures OpenAI Codex coding sessions—prompts, tool actions, replies, file changes, and validation results—into a local voyage map with task trees, branches, diffs, snapshots, and searchable history.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@io.github.WBXWHT/wayfinder Show me the interactive map of our current coding session"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
See how your work with AI actually evolved.
Wayfinder is a local-first desktop app that turns work with AI into a visual history of how a project reached its result. Goals, alternative attempts, failures, decisions, validation, and artifacts stay connected instead of disappearing into separate chats.
Wayfinder is designed for AI collaboration across coding, research, writing, design, and other project work. The current early-access collectors support Codex and Claude Code.

No account. No telemetry. No cloud sync.
AI tools are good at producing the next answer. They are less useful at showing why one approach worked, why another failed, or which evidence changed the direction of a project.
Wayfinder keeps that path reviewable:
One project map across AI tools.
Separate voyages for unrelated goals in the same workspace.
Visible branches and failures instead of a cleaned-up success story.
Real file-change replay when the source session contains an edit.
Source-linked details for conversations, tool activity, files, and validation.

Related sessions are grouped locally. Every recorded turn retains its original source, and Wayfinder does not invent missing history or historical diffs.

Wayfinder early access is available for:
Download the latest installers and checksums from GitHub Releases. The current early-access builds are not store-signed; read the install guide before first launch.
Wayfinder stores normalized history, collection cursors, and project maps under
~/.wayfinder. There is no Wayfinder account, analytics service, advertising,
cloud sync, or cloud analysis in the current build.
Read PRIVACY.md before using confidential projects.
Standalone desktop application for macOS and Windows.
AI collaboration model spanning conversations, research, writing, design, coding, and other project work.
Current public early-access collection from Codex and Claude Code.
Project-level voyage grouping, branches, source details, and file-change replay.
Early access: data formats and grouping behavior may continue to evolve.
Historical plugins, MCP bundles, IDE extensions, package-manager taps, and standalone CLI artifacts are not current product surfaces.
