How it works

How Notchlog tracks career wins

Most brag docs fail because they live in a note you never open. Notchlog comes to you: Slack, Discord, a CLI, or a desktop hotkey. Capture stays under five seconds. The career journal — timeline, digest, interview prep — waits until you want it.

Capture without leaving work

Type a win, lesson, idea, or note in the surface you already have open. Tagging is optional. Offline entries queue and sync when you reconnect.

• Desktop hotkey — popup, log, return to the current window.
• Slack and Discord — slash commands or a DM treated as a quick capture.
• CLI — notchlog win "…" from the terminal that shipped the work.

One timeline for every surface

Entries land in a single searchable work journal. Filter by type, date, or keyword. Storage stays yours — Google Drive or OneDrive — not a closed silo.

Interview prep and CV bullets from the same log

Rule-based weekly digest first. Later, on the web only: CV bullets from tagged wins, STAR-style interview stories, and semantic search across work history. Capture stays fast. The slower work happens when you sit down to use it.
