Made for multimodal work

Old images travel through your conversation again and again. That growing burden is the multimodal tax. FrameKeeper manages them automatically, wherever your AI works with images:

• Image and video creation: character references, storyboards, keyframes, posters and product shots.
• Reading documents: scanned PDFs, page images and visual references.
• Computer and browser use: screenshots from every step of an agent's work.
• Everyday multimodal chats: photos, screenshots, charts and diagrams.

Install

Send this to your agent. It identifies its platform and installs the right setup:

Install FrameKeeper for me, following https://github.com/chipfighter/framekeeper/blob/main/INSTALL.md

Then restart the agent (in Claude Desktop, start a new Code session). See supported agents and installation, updates and uninstall.

The panel, when you want control

• Find an image by a detail or a comment you remember, like "rainy night" or "best face".
• Keep a reference in view: open an image and check Send every turn.
• Choose images yourself: turn off Auto-select and pick what goes with your next message.

Privacy

FrameKeeper runs locally. Your original images and chat history stay on your computer; requests go to the service your agent already uses.

How we tested

We tested image-heavy conversations in Codex and Claude Code, including finding earlier images after long chats and compaction. See the Codex comparison and Claude Code long-task comparison for the results and reproduction steps.
