Hi everyone! I'm the developer behind You, Me & Myself (YMM). YMM started as a simple tool I built for myself. I just needed a way to interact with AI without leaving my IDE. Once I had that working, I quickly realised how much more I needed — conversation history, continuity, organisation, and better context management. What began as a personal convenience gradually grew into a full-featured plugin. The idea is simple: AI should assist you, not take over your development process. You remain in control, making the decisions and growing as a developer along the way. Any feedback is welcome, positive or negative. If you have something to say about YMM, let me know!

YMM is a JetBrains plugin that adds a structured, context-aware AI assistant to your IDE.
- for
- Developers using IntelliJ-based IDEs who want AI help without vendor lock-in.
- pricing
- free
Key features
- Contextual code slice — Collects project elements around the cursor and sends only relevant code to the model.
- Assistant profiles — Define persona, instructions and style per AI provider and switch them anytime.
- Conversation library — All chats are saved locally as searchable files with tags, collections and notes.
- Spending control — Shows token usage, converts to currency and lets you set monthly caps.
- Automatic history summarisation — Condenses older turns to keep long sessions within the model’s context window.
- Capability-adaptive handling — Detects each provider’s features (streaming, caching, tools) and uses them automatically.
- Metrics bar — Displays real-time token and cost consumption for the active chat.
- Multi-model support — Works with any OpenAI-compatible API, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, LM Studio or custom endpoint.
Use cases
- Get precise code explanations by sending only the surrounding classes and methods.
- Create reusable AI prompts for different models via assistant profiles.
- Track and revisit past AI discussions across projects using the searchable library.
- Enforce a budget on AI usage to avoid unexpected costs.
- Summarise long debugging sessions automatically to stay within model limits.

You, Me & Myself (YMM) FAQ
Do I need to pay for YMM itself?+
YMM is free for students and educators. For everyone else, it costs $10 per month, with no long-term commitment. You can cancel anytime, and a free trial is available. AI provider costs are separate and depend on the models you choose to use.
Can I use a local model instead of a cloud service?+
Yes. YMM supports locally hosted AI models through services such as Ollama and LM Studio, allowing you to work without relying on a cloud AI provider.
How does YMM keep my conversation data private?+
YMM stores your conversations, summaries and library data locally on your machine, giving you control over how they're managed and retained. When using cloud AI providers, the information you send is processed according to each provider's privacy policies. With local models, you can keep those interactions on your own machine.
What happens if a model exceeds my spending limit?+
When a model reaches its configured spending limit, YMM marks its profile as capped and prevents further requests through that profile until the limit is reset or adjusted.
Is YMM compatible with the latest IntelliJ releases?+
YMM is actively maintained and updated to support new JetBrains IDE releases. Version 1.5.0 includes compatibility with IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.
Can I customize the amount of context sent to the model?+
### Can I customise the context sent to the model? Yes. YMM lets you enable or disable automatic context gathering, and provides a Force option when you want to explicitly include context in your request. The idea is to give developers control over whether context is included, rather than automatically adding it to every interaction without asking.
