Documentation

DevRecall

Your developer activity, aggregated on-device. No cloud sync. No telemetry. Your data never leaves your machine.

DevRecall pulls from Git, Slack, Google Calendar, Jira, Linear, Confluence, GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, Notion, and your Claude Code sessions; stores it in a local SQLite database; and turns it into standups, weekly reports, brag docs, and a chat that actually knows what you worked on.

Also ships an MCP server — any MCP-compatible coding tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Continue, Zed) can spawn it as a stdio subprocess and gain memory of everything you've shipped. /devrecall:recall what auth bug did I fix in February returns cited commits, PRs, and tickets inline.

_{Desktop app — the same memory, native UI} _{devrecall standup — the day's report, written for you} _{devrecall chat — recall with cited commits & PRs}

📚 docs.devrecall.dev — install, configure, integrations, CLI reference.

Why

Local-first. SQLite on your laptop. Tokens in ~/.devrecall/tokens/ (0600). The Cloudflare Worker relay is a pass-through for OAuth callbacks only — it never sees your data.
LLM-optional. Bundled embeddings run offline (ONNX + all-MiniLM-L6-v2). Use local Ollama for chat, or bring your own OpenAI/Anthropic key.
Open source. MIT-licensed. Audit it, fork it, build it from source.

Sources

Source	What gets collected
Git (local)	Commits, branch activity, files changed
GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket	PRs/MRs, reviews, issues, comments
Slack	Your messages, threads you participated in
Google Calendar	Meetings attended, organized, declined
Jira / Linear	Issue transitions, comments, sprint membership
Confluence	Pages, blogposts, and comments you authored
Notion	Pages you created or edited
Claude Code	Coding-agent sessions, linked to repo & branch

Install

macOS — desktop app + CLI:

brew install --cask pavelpilyak/devrecall/devrecall

Installs DevRecall.app and puts the devrecall CLI on your PATH.

Linux / WSL — CLI and MCP server (no desktop app):

brew install pavelpilyak/devrecall/devrecall-cli

Without Homebrew, grab the tarball directly:

curl -L https://github.com/pavelpilyak/devrecall/releases/latest/download/devrecall-linux-x86_64.tar.gz \
  | tar xz && sudo mv devrecall-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/devrecall

Supported on Ubuntu 22.04+ and equivalent (Debian 12+, Fedora 35+).

Windows — no native build. Everything except the desktop app runs under WSL using the Linux instructions above, including the MCP server, which your editor can spawn across the WSL boundary.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/pavelpilyak/devrecall.git
cd devrecall
make build          # → bin/devrecall

Requires Go 1.22+ with CGO enabled (for SQLite FTS5).

Then connect a source and generate your first standup:

devrecall auth github      # or: slack, google, jira, linear, notion, gitlab, bitbucket
devrecall standup

Full install + setup walkthrough at docs.devrecall.dev/install.

Development

make build              # bin/devrecall
make test               # tests with race detector
make lint               # golangci-lint

Build tags: fts5 enables SQLite full-text search; GO enables hugot's pure Go ONNX backend for embeddings.

The desktop app (Tauri + Svelte) lives in desktop/; the OAuth callback relay (Cloudflare Worker) in relay/.
