Welcome to DevDaily AI

DevDaily is your AI-powered developer memory that auto-generates standup notes, PR descriptions, and weekly summaries from your git history.
Developers lose hours every week writing standup notes, crafting PR descriptions, and compiling weekly reports. DevDaily uses GitHub Copilot CLI to generate professional summaries in seconds.

​
What Makes DevDaily Different?

DevDaily builds a persistent local memory of your work. Every standup you run, every PR you generate, every branch you switch — DevDaily silently records a snapshot in ~/.config/devdaily/journal/.

Context Recovery

devdaily context tells you exactly where you left off, even days later

Work Search

devdaily recall auth finds every time you touched authentication code

Weekly Summaries

devdaily week produces accurate summaries from your local journal

Cross-Project

Work summaries across all your repositories with --all-projects
All data stays local. No cloud. No telemetry. Everything is stored in ~/.config/devdaily/journal/

Privacy & Security

Local-First

All data stays on your machine in ~/.config/devdaily/journal/. Nothing is sent to any server.

Secrets Management

Secrets stored separately in .devdaily.secrets.json (auto-added to .gitignore)

Opt-in Hooks

Git hooks are optional and POSIX-compatible. They append to existing hooks instead of overwriting.

GitHub Copilot

AI generation uses GitHub Copilot CLI under your existing Copilot agreement
DevDaily processes your git history locally and sends text prompts to GitHub Copilot CLI. Your source code is not uploaded.
