## What is CogniLog?

CogniLog is a work log for anything worth remembering. It captures the story behind your work: the decisions, the dead ends, and the reasoning you would otherwise forget. Whether your days are made of code, meetings, deliverables, chapters, or experiments, you write it down once and get it back whenever you need it.

The work log your AI can read.

CogniLog's macOS version comes with a built-in connection (an MCP server) that lets an AI assistant you already use, like Claude, read your log and answer questions about your own work, even entries authored in the iOS version. Ask what you were doing last week, or why you made a call three months ago. Your assistant can even add entries of its own, so the two of you share one space that you both write to and read from.

Write the way you already write.

Entries are plain text with light Markdown, and they format as you type. Headings become headings, code becomes code. Drop in a #tag and CogniLog files it for you, and channels keep each project or context separate. No forms, no fields, just the log.

See the year, drill to the moment.

Capture is only half the job. The Almanac turns your log into a map. Scan whole months at a glance, hover any day for a summary of what happened, and drill from the year down to a single entry. Come back from a busy week, or a week away, and pick the thread back up.

Built native, and it feels it.

A real Mac app and a real iPhone app, not a website in a wrapper. Log from your Mac while you work, or catch a thought on your phone while you wait in line. Capture meets you where you are, from the menu bar to the lock screen widget, with optional daily and streak reminders.

Yours, and only yours.

No new accounts and no servers of ours. Your log stays on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud when you want it everywhere. Using the macOS version bring your history in from apps like Apple Notes, Day One, Obsidian, and Bear, or any Markdown files, viewing it on your iOS device; and take it all back out as plain Markdown any time. No lock-in, no ads, no tracking.

Currently free.

Everything in the app is free right now. If that ever changes, it won't change for the people already here.

CogniLog is made by Rivet and Rune, a small studio building native tools and experiences.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-06

Background optimizations and some minor bug fixes.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-07-20

Bug fixes and small refinements:

• Fixed: search date-range filters — "Modified" and custom ranges now apply correctly instead of being silently dropped.
• The Density setting is now "Expand entries by default," a clearer per-device control over whether entries open expanded.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-19

The entry composer grew up.

• Live markdown rendering: your entry styles itself as you type, exactly like a rendered note, with syntax revealed only where you're editing
• A formatting toolbar above the keyboard: bold, italic, code, headers, and lists in one tap
• A redesigned entry screen: your channel sits in the title bar as a colored capsule, tags in a chip row below it, and a single actions button gathers Summary, Channel, Entry Time, and Tags
• Fixes for markdown styling near emoji and lists, and the cursor now stays visible while writing long entries

### 1.1 — 2026-07-13

CogniLog 1.1 makes reading and revisiting your log better.

• Tables: markdown tables now render as real grids in your Stream and in entry previews, not raw pipe syntax.
• Edit from Almanac: every entry in the day and week views now carries the full set of actions: edit, tag, delete, or jump to it in the Stream.
• Some Misc Fixes: the Stream reliably lands on a new entry right after you log it, and saving is noticeably snappier on large logs.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-12

No release notes.
