Developers lose most of what they do. The fix lives in a terminal scrollback, the decision in a call nobody recorded, the plan in a notes app you stopped opening.DevChrono is a private work journal built for the way engineers actually work. It puts your day in one workspace:<ul><li>Plan and focus - daily and weekly planning, a focus timer, start-of-day and shutdown rituals.</li><li>Tasks and projects - Kanban or list views, milestones, progress updates, due dates.</li><li>Daily logs - what you did, when, with tracked time, AI briefs, and Markdown export.</li><li>Snippets and documents - syntax-highlighted code and rich-text docs attached to the project that needed them.</li><li>Meetings - record in the browser or with the Windows desktop app, get a transcript and summary, turn action items into tasks.</li><li>Search - one query across tasks, snippets, logs, meetings, documents, and files.</li><li>Open by default - a personal REST API and share links with optional password and expiry.</li></ul>These are views of one memory, not separate tools: a meeting becomes a task, a task becomes a log entry, and all of it is findable later.Start with a 7-day trial, no credit card.
