Seev — Your worklog, without the work

Seev turns your real work—commits, PRs, and AI conversations—into a clean daily worklog. No copy‑pasting. No end‑of‑day scramble. Privacy‑first and local by default.

Why Seev

• Automatically captures commits, PRs, and AI assistant conversations
• Generates structured, readable worklog entries (goals, work, metrics, decisions, impact, todo, learnings)
• MCP‑native: works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Junie, Cline, and other MCP clients
• Local‑first: you control what’s logged and where it’s stored

---

Quick Start

Copy this into your terminal to set up Seev and a local workspace:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://bcosynot.github.io/seev/init.sh)"

Then restart your MCP client so it can load the Seev server.

Add your first entry from your AI assistant by sending:

/worklog_entry today

More examples and details are in Guides → Quick Start: docs/guides/quick-start.md

Works with your AI assistant

Seev is an MCP server and runs alongside your editor/assistant. For client‑specific setup (Cursor, Claude Code, Junie, VS Code, etc.), see:

• Guides → MCP clients: docs/guides/mcp-clients.md

---

Configuration (essentials)

The init script creates a workspace and a config file you can edit later:

• Worklog file: WORKLOG.md
• Database: db.sqlite3
• Config file: ~/.config/seev/seev.toml

Track which commits are yours by listing your emails in the config:

# ~/.config/seev/seev.toml
track_emails = ["[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"]

Environment variables can override paths and email tracking at runtime. See Guides → Workspace & Configuration: docs/guides/workspace-and-configuration.md

What a worklog entry looks like

## 2025-10-22

### 🎯 Goals & Context
- Refactor authentication module to support OAuth2 providers

### 💻 Technical Work
- abc1234: Extract OAuth2 provider interface

### 📊 Metrics
- Total commits: 3; Files changed: 8

### 🔍 Key Decisions
- Interface‑based design for new providers

### 🚧 Open Items
- Add integration tests for Google & GitHub

### 📚 Learnings
- ABCs fit this use case better than Protocols

Your assistant generates and saves this under the date heading in WORKLOG.md using Seev’s MCP tools.

---

Privacy & Data

• Everything stays local: files and database on your machine
• Only repositories you configure are read
• Conversations are logged only when your assistant calls the recording tools

See docs/privacy-and-data.md for details.

---

Requirements

• Python 3.13+
• Git
• An MCP‑compatible client (Claude Code, Cursor, Junie, Cline, …)
