Open source tools that help you get promoted
Getting promoted isn't just about doing great work
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jerry, founder of Dayflow. Here's a bitter lesson that everyone learns first-hand: the person who gets promoted isn't the one who did the best work. It's the one who can remember it and come with receipts. You know the feeling. Your manager asks "what did you ship this quarter," and your mind goes blank. You spent three months heads-down, debugging the gnarly thing, unblocking teammates, rewriting the pipeline that was about to fall over, and now you're squinting at a git log trying to reverse-engineer your own life. The work was real. The memory of it just evaporated. So the people who are great at narrating their work get ahead, and the people heads-down doing it get overlooked. That always felt backwards. So we built Dayflow. Dayflow runs quietly on your Mac, and uses your screen data + AI to turn your day into a clean timeline of what you actually worked on. No timers, no tagging. You just work, and at the end of the day there's an honest record of it. Come review season, your brag doc is already written. When you wonder where the week went, there's an answer instead of a shrug. 🔒 Local-first and open source. The recording stays on your machine, and the code's on GitHub. 🧠 A witness, not a manager. It's yours, built to help you see your own work, not score you. ⚡ Zero effort. No categorizing, no Pomodoro guilt. It just runs. 🎁 For Product Hunt: a month of Dayflow Pro free. Or use Dayflow for free forever by bringing your own AI, whether that's a local model or plugging in your ChatGPT/Claude subscription. I'll be around all day. I'd love to know: when someone asks what you got done this week, do you actually have an answer, or do you go blank too? Show more
