Never lose a contribution again
The PR you reviewed, the teammate you unblocked, the incident you put out, the design call you made — the work that never lands in a commit, captured in one line.
a work log built for review season
Performance reviews deserve more than a commit graph.
Code is only part of your job — the reviews, the debugging, the mentoring, the incidents, the design calls. dev.log keeps the record GitHub can't see.
30 seconds a day → a complete account of your impact, ready before review season.

"what did I even do today?"
If you've ever stared at that question at 6pm — or blanked when your manager asked what you worked on last quarter — it's not you. It's that your real work is invisible.
Your commit graph only counts code you pushed. It doesn't count the code review that saved a release, the two hours you spent hunting a race condition, the teammate you unblocked, or the incident you quietly put out. The busiest weeks often leave the emptiest graphs.
dev.log counts all of it.
Three steps. About ten seconds a day.
1
Log it — in a few words
Open the app and jot what you did. Type a quick slash-command if you like them, or just type a plain line — whatever's faster:
/win shipped the export button
/ugh fought a flaky test for 2h
/til Postgres has a FILTER clause
/mood fried
Or just type a line — it's a task by default. PRO Lazy day? Tap the 🎙 mic and just talk.
2
See it
Your day lights up a cell. Days become weeks become a wall of green proof that yes, you have in fact been doing the work.
3
Use it when it counts
Review or 1:1 coming up? Read back exactly what you shipped, reviewed, and fixed — by week, month, or quarter. No more "what did I even do?" archaeology through old tickets.
Built for how developers actually work
Walk into your review prepared
When review or promo season hits, read back exactly what you did — by week, month, or quarter. Your notes are already written, not buried in old tickets and Slack scrollback.
Logging that doesn't feel like work
Jot a line and you're done — about 10 seconds. Use quick commands like /win, /til, /ugh if you like them, or just type. No boards, no due dates, nothing to maintain.
PRO ✨ A brag doc that writes itself
Dump a messy paragraph at the end of the day (type or just talk) and the AI splits it into clean, tagged entries — then writes you a weekly recap. By review time, your case is already built.
See the whole quarter at a glance
Your entries roll up into a GitHub-style heatmap — proof of a busy stretch in a single screenshot, and yours to share only if you ever want to.
A normal app — desktop first
It's a regular app you open on your machine while you work (and on your phone when you're away) — nothing to install in your terminal, nothing to configure. The slash-commands just make logging fast.
Private by default
Your log is yours. We don't sell it, we don't show it to your manager, and sharing is always your choice (and just an image).
Built in the open — here's where it's going
The backend's live and v1 is already underway — you're looking at an early version of it at the top of this page. Here's the plan, in order. Get on the list and you'll help shape what ships first.
Early access
Join the list and you're first in when v1 opens — plus a direct line to shape exactly what ships.
The daily log
One screen, fast logging, your heatmap, streaks, and AI logging for Pro. Desktop and mobile. The smallest thing that'll change how you see your quarter.
Connect your tools
Paste a task link from ClickUp, Jira, Linear, Trello, or GitHub and dev.log ties it to your entry. MCP support so your AI tools can log alongside you.
Your career, leveled up
The case builder turns your history into a promotion-ready brag doc, mapped to what review committees actually look for — plus honest, kind insights on where to grow next.

Questions, answered straight
Is this a task manager?
Nope. dev.log is a log, not a to-do list. No boards, no due dates, no time tracking. It's for recording what you did, not planning what you'll do.
How do I log — do I have to pick from menus?
You type quick commands like /win, /task, /til (today I learned), /ugh (the bad days), /mood. Type /help for the cheatsheet. Or just type a line — it's a task by default.
Is it an app or a command-line tool?
A regular app for mobile & desktop — nothing to install in your terminal. The slash-commands just make logging fast; it's a normal app with a tap-friendly UI.
Does it track my work automatically?
No — you jot your own notes, and that's the point: you decide what counts. It takes about 10 seconds. On Pro, the AI can turn a messy brain-dump into clean entries, but nothing is logged without you.
What if I'm too lazy to type?
That's what the 🎙 mic is for (Pro). Tap it and talk — it'll even understand "slash win, shipped the export button." Hands-free logging for the fried days.
Who can see my logs?
Only you. Private by default. We don't sell your data and we'll never show it to your manager. Sharing is opt-in and just exports an image.
Will it integrate with Jira / Linear / GitHub?
That's on the roadmap. v1 is deliberately just the fast manual log — get on the list and connecting your tools is one of the first things we build toward.
Why "dev.log"?
Because every developer has tailed a dev.log. Also: a developer's log. We thought it fit.
