Cachly Brain — IntelliJ Plugin — See your AI assistant's memory at a glance: lessons learned, tokens saved, session history, and brain health — right in your IDE's status bar.
You've set up the cachly MCP server. Your AI assistant is now learning and remembering. But how do you know it's working? How many lessons has it stored? How much money has it saved you?

🧠 Brain: 42 lessons) - Brain Health Dialog — Storage usage, tier, recalls, estimated tokens & cost saved
- Lessons View — All lessons with topic, outcome, recall count, and what worked
- Auto-refresh — Configurable interval (default 5 minutes)
- All JetBrains IDEs — IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, GoLand, Rider, and more
