LeanCTX
Open source · for developers
Compress it: the open tool that makes everyday context efficient.
Every company's AI is only as good as the context it's given — and today that context is scattered across tools, locked inside a vendor's black box, and impossible to prove. We help you build a context layer you own: efficient, portable, verifiable, and under your control.
01 The shift
Thinkery is the company behind LeanCTX, the open CTXPKG standard and a growing stack for working with AI. We live close to the technology every day, and we keep seeing the same gap: the model is becoming a commodity, but the context around it is the real advantage, and almost nobody owns theirs.
So we build the layer that fixes it, and we guide the teams who get serious about it. Context that is efficient, portable across any model, verifiable, and under human control. That is what we mean by a context layer you own.
The shift
The companies that win the AI era won't rent their context. They'll own it.
02 What we do
We turn the messy, copy-pasted, vendor-locked context most teams live with into something they own and control. What proves itself we turn into a product; the foundation we keep open, because a shared standard lifts everyone; and when a team gets serious, we build alongside them.
03 What you keep
A context layer is only worth building if it stays yours. Three things hold for every product and every engagement.
04 The stack
Five pieces, one roof. Each is a layer of the context stack: compress it, seal it, share it, scale it across your organisation, and make it land.

05 What we stand for
Three principles behind every layer we build.
Every interface open, every layer replaceable. The standard belongs to no one, including us.
What an AI knew can be proven, offline and cryptographically. Trust you can check, not take on faith.
People decide what an AI reads, stores and recalls. Nothing leaves a machine unbidden.
Why Thinkery exists
Working with AI shouldn't mean handing your company's memory to someone else.
