Logify (CLI tool)

Logify is a minimal yet smart CLI tool that tracks your terminal sessions — recording every command you run, its output, and the timestamp.
It’s your personal developer diary, built right inside the terminal.
Perfect for journaling your coding days, debugging your workflow, or showing your progress to mentors and teammates.

Features

• Session Logging: Automatically records all commands & outputs during your terminal session.
• Session Replay: Replays past sessions with delays to visualize command history.
• Search & Filter: Find specific commands or patterns across all sessions.
• Export to Markdown: Convert your logs into clean .md files for sharing or documentation.
• AI Summary: Generate concise summaries of what happened in each session using OpenAI’s API.
• Cross-platform Ready: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux terminals.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code
• Node.js (v18+)
• OpenAI API Key (stored securely in .env)
• Internet connection for AI summaries

Tech Stack & Learnings

• Node.js & JavaScript (CLI-based development)
• OpenAI API integration for intelligent summaries
• File system handling (reading/writing logs, exports)
• Prompt design for clear and structured AI responses

Future Ideas

• Integration with Notion, Slack, or GitHub for daily summaries
• Local summary generation using open models (offline mode)

Known Issues

• Occasional lag during summary generation (network-dependent)
• Summaries may vary in tone depending on command density
• No built-in auto-sync yet for cloud storage

💬 FAQ

Q: Do I need internet for summaries?
A: Yes. The summaries use OpenAI’s API, so an internet connection is required.

Q: Can I use another AI model provider?
A: Absolutely! The architecture allows swapping in HuggingFace or local models with minimal changes.

Q: Does it support exporting sessions in multiple formats?
