Keeping the index local instead of in the cloud is the part that makes this usable at companies with strict source policies. Does it index issue trackers too?
DevRecall creates a private, searchable on-device index of your entire work history for chat, reports and AI agent integration.
- for
- Engineers who want local, citation-backed recall of code, tickets and communications.
- pricing
- open source
- license
- MIT
Key features
- Local searchable index — Indexes Git, GitHub/GitLab, Slack, Calendar, Jira, Linear, Confluence, Notion and Claude Code into a SQLite DB with full-text and vector search.
- Cited chat interface — Ask natural-language questions and receive answers that cite the exact commits, PRs or tickets.
- MCP server for AI agents — Provides an MCP endpoint so Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Continue or Zed can retrieve history inline.
- Automated standups & docs — Generates daily standup notes, weekly roll-ups and quarterly brag documents from real activity.
- Identity merge — Collapses multiple identities (git email, GitHub, Slack, Jira) into a single developer profile across orgs.
- Offline embeddings — Runs ONNX embeddings locally; uses Ollama by default or any OpenAI/Anthropic key you provide.
- Cross-platform CLI & macOS app — Single Go binary works on macOS and Linux; macOS desktop wraps the CLI for menu-bar use.
- MIT-licensed open source — Full source available, no hidden telemetry or proprietary cloud components.
Use cases
- Recall a specific bug fix or feature implementation with exact commit citations.
- Generate daily standup reports automatically from recent activity.
- Provide an AI coding assistant with instant access to project history and decisions.
- Create quarterly performance or brag documents backed by real data.
- Search across tickets, PRs and chat messages to answer compliance or onboarding questions.

- DevRecall vs Smithery: Provides a registry for finding and hosting MCP servers, but does not index personal work history.
- DevRecall vs OpenAI Codex: OpenAI Codex is an AI coding assistant without local work-history indexing.
- DevRecall vs LlamaIndex: LlamaIndex offers data-indexing frameworks for LLM apps, not a ready-made on-device developer memory tool.
- DevRecall vs Claude Code: Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that can consume DevRecall via MCP but does not provide the indexing itself.
DevRecall FAQ
Does DevRecall send any of my data to the cloud?+
No. All activity is stored locally; only OAuth handshakes and optional LLM calls go out.
Can I use DevRecall on Windows?+
Windows is not supported yet; macOS and Linux are supported.
What LLM models can I use with DevRecall?+
It defaults to a local Ollama model, but you can bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key.
How does the MCP server work with my editor?+
Any MCP-compatible tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Continue, Zed) can spawn DevRecall as a stdio subprocess to get cited search results.
Is the source code available for audit?+
Yes, DevRecall is MIT-licensed and the full Go/SQLite/ONNX source is on GitHub.
