A VS Code extension that watches what you build and writes your daily work log for you. Automatic coding summaries — no timers, no forms, no log sheets.
I write code for a living, and every morning at standup, I freeze.
I know I worked. I was there. I was tired by the end of it.
But ask me what I actually did and I’ll either tell you the one big thing I’m proud of, or completely blank.
For a while, my fix was waking up early and spending 30 minutes digging through my memory and Git commits before standup.
It worked.
It was also 30 minutes of trying to remember something I had literally just done.
And I’d still miss things.
Then agentic tools made it worse.
I started shipping more in a day, so the gap got wider.
I’d remember the one crazy feature that needed some ridiculous scoring engine for computing x, y and z, but forget the small delete button, the tiny patch, or the three fixes Claude made while I was away from my desk.
Those are still my work.
They still count.
But by the next morning, I couldn’t remember them.
At some point, I stopped trying to remember better and realized I didn’t need better memory.
I needed a witness.
So I built one.
WriteLogs is a VS Code extension that quietly watches what I work on, including the work my AI agents do, and turns it into a clear summary of what actually happened during the day.
Big changes. Small fixes. Every file touched.
It sees the AI’s work before anything is committed, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re using Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or something else.
It’s now on the VS Code Marketplace.
I’m giving the first 20 people who sign up 6 months of Pro for free.
All I want in return is for you to tell me what annoys you about it.
