Buy back the days Claude forgot.

You're shipping alone. Every Claude Code session starts with a blank mind. Half your week goes into re-explaining the same architecture decisions, then re-doing the same refactors when a future session decides differently. Hydrate puts a stop to that - and the days that were going into re-explanation come back to you as runway against your weekly Claude cap.

What changes

• Sessions resume where the last one ended. Claude Code sees the facts, decisions, and naming conventions from your last week's work, scored for relevance - not pasted wholesale into context.
• Architectural rules survive every session. hydrate canon pins them; hydrate sync writes them into CLAUDE.md. The next session treats them as project instructions, not soft suggestions.
• The dashboard shows your runway. localhost:49849/dashboard tells you how many extra days of coding Hydrate gave you this week, computed from your own ledger - not a marketing estimate.

What it costs you

$0 forever for up to 2 active projects. No account, no telemetry, no network calls on the Free tier. If you register during beta you also lock the $5/mo Pro rate forever - so even if you never need unlimited projects today, the option is sitting there waiting if you change your mind in 2027.

No Anthropic API key required. Hydrate uses your existing Claude Code auth (OAuth subscription or API key) for fact extraction - whatever's already paying for your claude sessions pays for this too. Nothing new to set up. If you want to opt out of the LLM path entirely, set HYDRATE_LLM_PROVIDER=none and the built-in heuristic extractor handles it offline.

Pro features stay free during beta and for 30 days after v1 launches; nobody gets caught out by the switch.
