Work Tracebook 1.3.0

Renamed the app to Work Tracebook. Updated the app name, GitHub repository and download names.

Existing saved data stays available. The companion command keeps its existing name. In-app update links now use the renamed repository.

Install

Download Work-Tracebook-1.3.0.zip, unzip it, and move Work Tracebook.app to your Applications folder. This universal build supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs, is signed with my Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

You can also build the source locally with the instructions in the README, using free Xcode tools.

Work Tracebook 1.2

Work Tracebook 1.2 is signed with my Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

What's new

• No more security warning. The first time you opened Work Tracebook, macOS used to say it "could not verify Work Tracebook is free of malware", and you had to click Open Anyway in System Settings. Now it opens like other apps you download: macOS asks if you're sure you want to open an app from the internet, and you click Open.
• Nothing else changed. Your event log, the factorylog CLI and the agent instructions stay the same.

The changelog lists what changed in every release.

Install

If you already use Work Tracebook, it offers this update by itself. Click Install and Relaunch, or choose Work Tracebook → Check for Updates… to get it right away.

Otherwise, download Factory-Log-1.2.0.zip, unzip it, and drag Work Tracebook to your Applications folder. It runs on macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

Everything Work Tracebook records stays on your Mac, in a plain JSONL file, and it never reads your code, diffs or terminal.

Work Tracebook 1.1

Work Tracebook 1.1 makes sure your agents can actually reach it: it checks they can find the factorylog command, lets Codex write its reports, and sends a test report on request.

What's new

• PATH check. Agents get their PATH from your login shell, so setup now asks that shell whether it can find factorylog. If you use zsh and it can't, Add to PATH adds ~/.local/bin to ~/.zshenv. Other shells get the steps to fix it.
• Codex can write its reports. Codex's sandbox only lets commands write inside the project. Connect Codex now also adds the Work Tracebook folder to its writable roots in ~/.codex/config.toml. If you connected Codex in 1.0, Settings shows it as not connected until you click Connect Codex again.
• Send a test report. One click runs the command the way an agent does, so you can check the setup without waiting for an agent.
• Clearer setup. The welcome screen says what gets logged: work that changes something, not answers to questions. The README covers other agents and what to check when reports don't show up.

Install

Download Factory-Log-1.1.0.zip, unzip it, and drag Work Tracebook to your Applications folder. It runs on macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. If you have 1.0, Work Tracebook offers the update on its own, or use Work Tracebook → Check for Updates….

Work Tracebook isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarized, so the first time you open it, macOS says it "could not verify Work Tracebook is free of malware". Click Done, then either:

• open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to Work Tracebook, and click Open Anyway.

The README has the details, including what to do on a work laptop.

Work Tracebook 1.0

Work Tracebook shows what your coding agents did for you: a timeline of each day and each week, and where your time went, project by project.

What's in 1.0

• What I did today, and yesterday. Your active time, the projects you touched, the tasks agents finished, and a timeline with one lane per project and a bar for every work session.
• Every task, once. Each task shows its latest report, newest first. Close an open task with a final outcome, or let Work Tracebook mark it Done after 24 hours.
• A recap per project. Finished days get one sentence per project from a local Ollama model, if you run one.
• Your week at a glance. A row per day, sessions colored by project, where the week went, and what shipped. The arrows step back through earlier weeks.
• The long view. Time by project over 7, 30 or 90 days or all time, a 26-week heatmap, and a panel with every task you did in a project.
• Setup in three steps. The welcome screen installs the factorylog command and connects Codex or Cursor. Other agents get instructions to paste.
• Updates. Work Tracebook checks GitHub once a day and installs new versions in place after verifying them.
