How it works · Projects
Projects.
Projects group related threads together and scope your context, files, and memory. Work on different areas of your life without them bleeding into each other.
What projects do
A project is a container for threads. Threads inside a project share context with each other but not with threads in other projects. This means your coding work doesn't bleed into your personal journaling, and your health conversations stay separate from your business planning.
Projects also scope workspace files and project memory, so the model knows what you're working on within a specific area of your life without having to be reminded each time.
Default projects
When you first use Continio, five default projects are created for you:
- Life
- Work
- Health & Wellbeing
- Admin & Errands
- Learning
These are starting points. Rename, recolour, or delete them. Create new ones that match how you actually think.
Automatic project assignment
After the first message in a new thread, Continio suggests a project based on the content. It looks at what you said and matches it against your existing project names. If no match is found, it assigns the thread to your catch-all project (usually Life).
You can change the project for any thread at any time by tapping the project label in the thread header.
Project memory
Continio builds a log of decisions, progress, and context for each project from conversations within it. This project memory is injected into every thread in that project, so the model knows what you've been working on and what decisions have been made — without you having to recap.
For example: if you've made a pricing decision in a thread tagged to your Work project, the next thread in Work will already know about it.
Project files
Files written during a session (by Claude, or uploaded by you) are tagged to the project of the current thread. Any thread in that same project automatically knows those files exist. The model can read them on demand without you having to re-attach them.
This is particularly useful for coding sessions: if you work on llm.py in one thread and start a new thread in the same project, the model already knows llm.py is there.
A heavy coding session that fills up one thread doesn't mean you lose access to your files when you start a fresh thread. As long as both threads are in the same project, the files are available.
The Decisions view
The fourth tab in the sidebar shows all decisions extracted across your conversations in one place. These are things you've committed to — pricing you've locked in, technical choices you've made, directions you've settled on. Searchable, revisable, yours. No more losing conclusions buried in old threads.
