Trial, free tier, and feature access
Pro Features: Unlock Full Potential
Duration: 5 minutes | Difficulty: Beginner
Free vs Pro
Every install starts with a 14-day free trial - full Pro access, no credit card required. Decision logging is never blocked, on any tier, during or after the trial. After the trial, premium write/edit features need Pro.
| Feature | Free (after trial) | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Decision Logging | Yes (never blocked) | Yes |
| Search & Read | Yes | Yes |
| Session Notes | Yes | Yes |
| Search (semantic ranking when the local index is built; keyword otherwise) | Yes | Yes |
| Premium write/edit features | No | Yes |
| Code Intelligence | No | Yes |
| Knowledge Graph | No | Yes |
What Pro Unlocks
Pro keeps the full trial experience available after the trial ends. The practical differences are:
- •Premium write/edit features
- •Code intelligence
- •Knowledge graph
- •Expanded memory access profiles (via MCP)
If your client does not mount Continuity natively, use the repo-local fallback files instead of assuming every surface is available in-chat.
Code Intelligence (Pro)
Link decisions directly to code locations:
Link a Decision to Code
link_decision_to_code
decisionId="decision-123"
file="src/auth/jwt-handler.ts"
line=45
symbol="validateToken"
symbolType="Function"
See What Decisions Affect a File
get_code_context
filePath="src/auth/authenticate.ts"
Returns:
- All decisions linked to this file
- Decision questions and answers
- Symbol names linked
Check Before Refactoring
check_refactoring_safety
files=["src/core/database.ts"]
Returns:
- Safety status (safe/warning/danger)
- Linked decisions that might break
- Impact assessment
- Recommended actions
Inline Annotations
With Code Intelligence enabled, you see annotations in the editor gutter showing which lines have linked decisions.
