ztratar / openhistory
Your private, searchable work timeline for macOS and local AI agents.
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does

What it does
- An automatic work timeline. Permitted foreground activity is grouped into clear work summaries.
- Hourly and daily recaps. OpenHistory turns work summaries into a history you can scan later.
- Searchable out of the box. Find past work immediately with built-in history search.
- Choose your own inference. Use Apple's experimental on-device model for maximum privacy—or connect OpenAI, Anthropic, or Kimi. Or simply turn off automatic summaries to keep just your logs.
- Controlled agent access. Local AI tools can search a redacted, read-only view through an authenticated MCP server.
