I built a daily work log for Claude Code, and it never leaves my machines

A developer released worklog-for-claude-code, an MIT-licensed Linux tool that reads Claude Code session transcripts via hooks and an hourly systemd timer to produce a daily Markdown work log. Each session is stored as a small JSON record in a user-owned git repo, with per-device file paths to avoid merge conflicts across machines, and a loopback-only web UI protected by Host/Origin checks, CSRF tokens and a strict Content-Security-Policy. The tool is at version 0.1.0 and can be tried with a fake-data demo via pipx.

I use Claude Code for most of my day, on a laptop and a desktop, with a work account and a personal one. At 6 pm I often couldn't answer two simple questions: what did I actually get done today, and how much did it use? Token counters answer the second question. I wanted an answer to the first, so I built worklog-for-claude-code , a small open-source tool for Linux. Once a day you get a simple page with: After setup it runs in the background. You don't have to remember anything. Claude Code writes a local transcript for every session. The tool reads those transcripts in two ways: through Claude Code hooks that fire when a session starts and ends, and through an hourly systemd timer that catches anything the hooks missed. For each session it writes one small JSON record into a git repo you own. Every file path is written by exactly one device, so several machines can push to the same repo without merge conflicts. A nightly job turns the records into a Markdown report, and a local web UI shows it. Transcripts contain everything you typed, so the tool is built to keep as little as possible: claude -p . Turn them off to keep everything fully local. The web UI listens on loopback only, and checks the Host and Origin headers, uses CSRF tokens and sends a strict Content-Security-Policy. This runs the UI on fake data and doesn't touch your files: pipx run --spec worklog-for-claude-code claude-worklog demo Then open http://localhost:8766 http://localhost:8766 . To install it for real: pipx install worklog-for-claude-code git init ~/claude-worklog-data claude-worklog install-service Open http://worklog.localhost:8765 http://worklog.localhost:8765 , fill in the short setup form and click Install hook . For several machines, put the data folder in a private GitHub or GitLab repo. It's MIT licensed and version 0.1.0. If you try it, I'd love to hear what's missing.
