Murph - local agent for async handoffs in Slack and Discord

Murph, a local-first handoff agent, allows users to maintain async continuity in Slack and Discord by monitoring selected channels, drafting replies, and applying user-defined policies while they are offline. The tool stores runtime state locally via SQLite and local credentials, giving indie developers, founders, and distributed teams control over what gets sent, queued, or skipped with a full review trail. Murph integrates with tools like Notion, GitHub, and Google Calendar, and supports OpenAI and Anthropic LLM providers for grounded, context-aware responses.

Murph is a local-first handoff agent for the hours you are away. Start a session before you log off. Murph watches the channels you choose, pulls context from connected integrations and tools, drafts grounded replies, applies your policy, and leaves a review trail for every decision. | What you need | What Murph does | |---|---| Stay offline without losing momentum | Watches selected messenger channels while you are away | Keep control explicit | Sends safe work, queues risky work, and skips anything it should not answer | Use your real context | Pulls from docs, tickets, email, calendar, meetings, GitHub, and local notes | Review what happened | Shows what was sent, queued, skipped, and why | Run it yourself | Stores runtime state locally with SQLite and local credentials | Murph is built for people who want async continuity without handing over control: indie developers, founders, operators, and distributed teams.
