Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Contrails is a cross-platform desktop app that automatically watches and parses coding agent sessions (VS Code Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) into readable Markdown, saving them to a project's repository. It's interesting because it addresses the 'agent amnesia' problem by preserving the reasoning and iterative process behind code changes, creating a searchable history of AI-assisted development.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, full-stack devs
