# Fractory
**Fractory** is a Rust-based tool that tracks file changes and reconstructs development sessions — built for mosaic thinkers who thrive on context, not checklists.
It helps you preserve flow, capture intent, and navigate your work history as a living, nonlinear timeline. Whether you’re deep in systems design, refactoring, or jumping between ideas, Fractory ensures nothing gets lost in the chaos.
> **⚠️ Warning**: This project is in early development. The current release is a placeholder to claim the crate name.
---
## 💡 Why Fractory?
Fractory exists for developers who think in fragments, not funnels — who build systems nonlinearly, jump between layers, and resist rigid workflows.
It preserves flow, captures context, and lets you reconstruct what you were really doing — even if you couldn’t explain it in a ticket.
