Modesto tries to keep coding-agent context intact across tools
The author says switching between tools like Codex and other coding agents keeps fragmenting project context: each agent has its own chats, decisions, and working history, so developers end up re-explaining the project or manually copying notes.
Modesto is being built as a desktop workspace to keep conversations, projects, and coding workflows together while still letting developers switch between agents. The product is centered on continuity: importing supported local conversations, preserving project context in one place, and choosing the best agent for each task without starting from zero each time.
