A record that compounds

From passing thought to useful evidence.

Not a diary. A working record of what you changed, learned, and made happen.

  1. In the moment

    Capture the useful detail while it is still fresh.

    • Quick capture with no forced tagging

    • Four clear entry types: win, note, idea, lesson

    • Voice notes with transcription

    • Offline capture, synced automatically

  2. When you look back

    Find the thread across weeks, projects, and roles.

    • A searchable, filterable timeline

    • “On this day” resurfacing

    • Your archive in your Google Drive or OneDrive

  3. Turning entries into evidence

    coming soon

    Turn a real record into words you can use.

    • A useful weekly digest

    • Specific CV bullet generation

    • Interview stories built from your work

    • Semantic search across your archive

Made for the command line

Your work happened here. Your log can too.

Use a specific type when you know it. Skip it when you don't. Search the week without leaving the terminal.

Your career already has stories in it. Start keeping them.

Notchlog isn't a finished product yet. Join the waitlist and we'll email you as real pieces ship: desktop app and Slack/Discord capture first, then the web dashboard, then the AI features. No spam — only a short update when something is actually ready.

Early access is free. We'll never charge you without asking first.

Building in the open

Follow the build as it happens.

We're sharing progress as we go — what's shipped, what's next, and what we changed our mind about. Stick around if you want to see how this comes together, not just the finished result.
