Worktale Cloud Is Live
Your local engineering record now has a home on the web. Public profiles, cross-repo timelines, and AI-powered digests—all at worktale.dev.
When we launched the Worktale CLI three weeks ago, the promise was simple: a local-first record of everything you build. No accounts, no telemetry, no data leaving your machine.
That hasn’t changed. The CLI is still free, still open source, still entirely local. But today we’re launching the other half of the vision.
Worktale Cloud is now live in beta at worktale.dev.
The problem Cloud solves
You’ve been shipping for months. The commits are there. The PRs are merged. But when review season comes, or a client asks what you delivered, or you’re updating your portfolio—you’re digging through git logs trying to reconstruct the story.
Worktale Cloud takes the record you’ve been building locally and turns it into something shareable. A profile. A timeline. A packet you can hand to your manager, your client, or your next employer.
What’s in the beta
Public Profile & Heatmap
Your engineering activity at worktale.dev/yourname—a GitHub-style heatmap that includes private repo work. The full picture of your output, not just what’s public.
Cross-Repo Timeline
All your repos in one unified stream. No more switching between projects to piece together what you shipped last quarter.
Weekly AI Digest & Email
AI rolls up your week into a polished summary—published to your profile or delivered to your inbox. No login required to read it.
Standup & Retro Generator
“What did I do yesterday?”—answered instantly. Export for standups, retros, or status updates.
Review & Promotion Packets
One-click export of your quarterly or annual output. Ready to paste into any self-review, promotion doc, or performance review.
Client & Consulting Summaries
Sanitized delivery reports. Prove what you shipped without exposing code or internals.
How it works
If you’re already using the Worktale CLI, Cloud is a one-time setup:
# 1. Sign up at worktale.dev and grab your token
$ worktale config set cloudEnabled true
$ worktale config set cloudToken YOUR_TOKEN
# 2. Publish your record
$ worktale publish
✓ Published to worktale.dev/yourname
That’s it. Your local database syncs to the cloud. Everything you’ve captured—commits, notes, AI annotations, daily summaries—becomes a live, shareable profile.
Still local-first. Cloud is strictly opt-in. If you never enable it, nothing changes. Your data stays on your machine. The CLI works exactly the same way it always has.
Why beta
We’re shipping this as a beta because we want to get it into your hands early and iterate based on real usage. During the beta:
- • It’s free. No credit card, no trial timer. Use everything.
- • Features will evolve. We’re adding capabilities weekly based on feedback.
- • Your input shapes the product. This is the best time to influence what Cloud becomes.
After beta, Cloud will become the paid product. The CLI stays free and open source forever. That’s the deal—always has been.
The bigger picture
Most developer tools ask you to give up privacy for convenience. We think that’s a false choice.
With Worktale, you build a rich local record of your work—automatically, privately, from your git history. When you’re ready to share, Cloud gives you full control over what becomes visible and to whom. Your private repos stay private. Your commits stay yours. You decide what the world sees.
Your proof of work should be portable, private by default, and yours to share on your terms.
Get started
If you don’t have the CLI yet:
$ npm install -g worktale
$ worktale init
✓ 847 commits analyzed in 2.1s
Then head to worktale.dev to create your account and connect your local record to the cloud.
We’ve been building Worktale because we believe developers deserve a real record of their work—not just a GitHub contribution graph. Cloud is the next step: making that record useful beyond your own terminal.
