## About

I spent 20 years shipping software behind client firewalls. Enterprise consulting, complex systems, heads-down in private repos. The work was real. The record of it wasn't. Every performance review I'd stare at a blank page trying to reconstruct months of effort from commit messages like "fixed a thing."

Most developers build in silence.

Behind firewalls. Inside private repos. Under NDAs. Your best work is invisible — even to you. Six months from now, you won't remember the race condition you debugged at 2 AM, the architecture you redesigned, or the migration that saved the sprint.

With AI restructuring entire teams overnight, the developers who can articulate what they built — and why — are the ones who survive.

Worktale is a fast, local-first CLI and dashboard that turns your git history into a living record of your work. It runs on your machine, stores everything in SQLite, and works with years of existing history — instantly organized.

Three commands: install, init, digest. That's it.

It's open source and free. I built the thing I wished existed for the last two decades. I'd love to know what you'd add.
