Worktale Your Dev Story Told Beautifully – Turn your git history into a record of what you built

Summary: Worktale converts your git history into a local, interactive work journal stored in a SQLite database. It provides a terminal dashboard with streaks, heatmaps, and daily activity breakdowns, analyzing your entire existing git history on first run. Optional AI-generated digests run locally without sending data off your machine.

What it does

Worktale installs via npm and initializes with a simple command to create a local dashboard that visualizes your git commits and work patterns. It supports AI summaries through a local Ollama integration and operates entirely offline.

Who it's for

Developers who want a detailed, private record of their coding activity from existing git repositories, especially those working behind firewalls or in private repos.

Why it matters

It solves the problem of reconstructing past work from sparse commit messages by providing a structured, searchable history of development efforts stored locally.
