Sleep. Daymon doesn't. It runs Claude tasks on schedule, remembers context across conversations, watches files for changes, and works in the background — all while you sleep, commute, or focus on other things. No API keys. No token costs. No cloud. Just your existing Claude subscription, finally working 24/7. --- ## Requirements - **macOS 12 (Monterey) or later** (Apple Silicon & Intel), **Windows 10+** (x64), or **Linux x64** (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc.) - **[Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download)** or **[Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)** (you need at least one) - A Claude subscription (Pro, Max, or Team) — Daymon uses your existing subscription, no API keys needed ## Installation ### macOS — Homebrew (recommended) ```bash brew install daymonio/daymon/daymon ``` ### macOS — Download Download the latest `.dmg` from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/daymonio/daymon/releases/latest). ### Windows — Download Download the latest `.exe` installer from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/daymonio/daymon/releases/latest). ### Linux — Download Download the `.deb` or `.AppImage` from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/daymonio/daymon/releases/latest). ```bash # .deb (Ubuntu/Debian) sudo dpkg -i daymon_*.deb # AppImage (any distro) chmod +x Daymon-*.AppImage && ./Daymon-*.AppImage ``` ### Build from Source ```bash git clone https://github.com/daymonio/daymon.git cd daymon npm install npm run dev # Development mode npm run build # Production build ``` ## Quick Start ### Claude Desktop Install Daymon and open it. That's it — Daymon auto-configures Claude Desktop on first launch. Open Claude Desktop and try: > "Remember that I prefer TypeScript over JavaScript" > "Every weekday at 9am, check HackerNews for AI news and summarize the top 5 stories" > "Watch my Downloads folder and organize new files into subfolders by type" ### Claude Code Install Daymon and open it. Daymon auto-configures Claude Code on first launch (if `~/.claude.json` exists). Then try: > "Remember this project uses PostgreSQL 16 and runs on port 5432" > "Schedule a daily code review of this repo every morning at 8am" ## What is Daymon? Daymon is a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux that lives in your menu bar (system tray on Windows). It gives Claude persistent memory, scheduled tasks, workers, and file watchers — all running locally on your machine. Your Claude subscription only works when you do. Daymon puts it to work 24/7. ## Features **Scheduled Tasks** — "Every weekday at 9am, check HackerNews for AI news." Just tell Claude what you want. Daymon handles the scheduling. **Persistent Memory** — "Remember I'm fundraising Series A." Say it once, it sticks forever. Knowledge graph with semantic search, no API keys. **Workers** — Named agent personalities with system prompts. Assign a Researcher, Chief of Staff, or Code Reviewer to any task. 9 templates included. **Self-Improving Tasks** — Tasks get smarter every time they run. Daymon learns what works and skips the guesswork on future runs — faster results, no configuration needed. **Auto-Nudge** — When a background task finishes, Daymon shows results in your active Claude Code chat automatically. Per-task control: always, failures only, or never. Quiet hours keep nudges out of your way. **Session Continuity** — Tasks resume where they left off. "Compare today's results to yesterday's" just works. **File Watchers** — "When a new file appears in Downloads, organize it." Daymon watches folders and acts automatically. **100% Local** — No cloud. No account. Your data is a SQLite file you can inspect anytime. ## Workers Workers are named agent profiles with system prompts. Each worker defines a personality, values, and anti-patterns that shape how tasks execute. | Template | Description | |----------|-------------| | Chief of Staff | Proactive business ops — triages, anticipates needs, proposes actions | | Researcher | Deep research with strong opinions — synthesis over summarization | | Code Reviewer | Catches what linters miss — leads with blockers, no bikeshedding | | Writer | Sharp writing — cuts fluff, clarity over everything | | Email Assistant | 3-tier triage, drafts replies, never sends | | Tech Trend Analyst | Tech-only trends + tweet drafts with real takes | | Competitor Tracker | Reports signal, not noise — silence is a valid report | | DevOps | Reliability over novelty — boring infrastructure that works | | Data Analyst | Analysis that drives decisions, not dashboards | Create workers in the Daymon UI or via Claude: "Create a worker called 'My Analyst' with this system prompt..." ## All Tools <details> <summary>Full tool reference (click to expand)</summary> ### Memory | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `daymon_remember` | Store a fact, preference, or project detail | | `daymon_recall` | Search memories by keyword | | `daymon_forget` | Delete a memory | | `daymon_memory_list` | List all stored memories | ### Scheduler | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `daymon_schedule` | Create a task (recurring, one-time, or on-demand) | | `daymon_list_tasks` | Show all tasks | | `daymon_run_task` | Manually trigger a task | | `daymon_pause_task` | Pause a task | | `daymon_resume_task` | Resume a paused task | | `daymon_delete_task` | Delete a task | | `daymon_task_history` | Show past runs | | `daymon_task_progress` | Check running task progress | | `daymon_reset_session` | Clear session for a task | ### Workers | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `daymon_create_worker` | Create a worker with name and system prompt | | `daymon_list_workers` | List all workers | | `daymon_update_worker` | Update a worker | | `daymon_delete_worker` | Delete a worker | ### File Watching | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `daymon_watch` | Watch a folder for changes | | `daymon_unwatch` | Stop watching | | `daymon_list_watches` | List active watches | ### Settings | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `daymon_get_setting` | Get a setting value | | `daymon_set_setting` | Update a setting (quiet hours, etc.) | </details> ## Development ```bash npm run dev # Start dev mode npm run build # Full build (main + renderer + MCP) npm test # Run test suite npm run typecheck # TypeScript type checking npm run build:mac # Build + package macOS DMG npm run build:linux # Build + package Linux AppImage + deb ``` <details> <summary>Project structure</summary> ``` daymon/ ├── src/ │ ├── main/ # Desktop app (menu bar / tray) │ ├── sidecar/ # Standalone Node.js server (cron, watchers, task execution) │ ├── mcp/ # MCP server (stdio) │ │ └── tools/ # Memory, scheduler, worker, watcher, settings tools │ ├── renderer/ # React + Tailwind UI │ └── shared/ # Shared logic (DB queries, task runner, auto-nudge) ├── docs/ # Landing page (daymon.io) └── resources/ # App icons ``` **Tech stack**: React 18, Tailwind CSS 4, TypeScript, Vite 7, better-sqlite3, node-cron, zod, MCP SDK, HuggingFace Transformers (local embeddings), Vitest </details> ## License MIT License.
