Build In Public

Tool

An activity monitor that watches you work, writes your daily journal, and tweets your progress.

Build In Public is a system that runs in the background while you work. It captures screenshots and clipboard history at set intervals, then uses AI to analyze what you actually did all day — and turns it into a daily journal and shareable Twitter content. All local, privacy-first.

Features

  • Activity Monitoring — Screenshots and clipboard at configurable intervals
  • AI Analysis — Uses vision models to understand what you worked on
  • Journal Generation — Daily summaries with insights, automatically
  • Twitter Integration — Generates and optionally posts progress updates
  • Web Dashboard — Browse your activity history through a local UI

The Idea

Building in public is one of the best growth strategies for indie builders, but it's also a chore. You finish a 12-hour coding session and the last thing you want to do is write a tweet about it. This tool does that for you — it was already watching.
