Show HN: ChunkHound, a local-first tool for understanding large codebases

NadavBenItzhak Saturday, January 17, 2026

ChunkHound’s goal is simple: local-first codebase intelligence that helps you pull deep, core-dev-level insights on demand, generate always-up-to-date docs, and scale from small repos to enterprise monorepos — while staying free + open source and provider-agnostic (VoyageAI / OpenAI / Qwen3, Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini / Grok, and more).

I’d love your feedback — and if you have, thank you for being part of the journey!

Summary
This project is a command-line tool for splitting large files into smaller chunks and recombining them. It provides a simple and efficient way to manage and transfer large data files.
