A developer's personal activity logger — track what you build, spot your patterns, own your progress.
Most developers forget what they worked on last week. DevLog fixes that. It's a lightweight CLI tool that lets you log your daily development activity, tag it by project, and get insightful weekly/monthly summaries — with streaks, productivity scores, and markdown exports.
Built for developers who want a private, terminal-native alternative to scattered notes.
- Log entries with a single command — what you did, which project, what type of work
- Streak tracking — consecutive active days, longest streak, current streak
- Weekly & monthly reports — activity breakdown by project and work type
- Smart insights — detects patterns like "You've been mostly debugging this week"
- Export to Markdown — generate a clean report you can paste anywhere
- Fully offline — your data stays on your machine

devlog list --project <name>I started this as my first real Python project — something I'd actually use every day. It forced me to apply OOP properly, design a real database schema, think about user experience in a terminal, and write clean, testable code. Every feature in here is something I genuinely wanted.
🔨 Actively building — follow for updates.
