Daymon is a free, open-source desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux that adds scheduling, persistent memory, and background automation to Claude. It sits in your menu bar, connects to Claude Desktop or Claude Code, and runs tasks on a schedule — even when the app is closed. No API keys, no cloud servers, no account required.

100% local. No cloud. No account. No tracking.
Your data is a SQLite file on your machine — inspect or delete it anytime.

Features

Scheduled Tasks

"Every weekday at 9am, check HackerNews for AI news"

Just tell your AI. No cron syntax, no config files, no separate UI.

🧠

Persistent Memory

"Remember I'm fundraising Series A"

Say it once — it sticks forever. Knowledge graph with semantic search.

👤

Workers

"Use my Chief of Staff worker for this task"

Named agent personalities with system prompts. Assign different workers to different tasks. Templates included.

🔔

Auto-Nudge

"Show me results when the task finishes"

Background tasks automatically show results in your active Claude Code chat. Per-task control: always, failures only, or never.

🔁

Session Continuity

"Compare today's results to yesterday's"

Tasks can resume where they left off. Each run builds on the last — no context lost.

📁

File Watchers

"When a new file appears in Downloads, organize it"

Tell your AI what to watch. Daymon handles the rest — no rules to configure.

🔒

100% Local

Everything on your machine

No cloud. No account. Your data is a SQLite file you can inspect anytime.

Your tasks get smarter every time they run

The first time a task runs, it figures out the best way to get your answer. By the third run, Daymon remembers what worked — so every run after that is faster and more reliable. You don't configure anything. It just happens.

12s

Run 3
4s

Run 10

Same question. Smarter answer. Every time.

Daymon is a local Model Context Protocol server. It speaks stdio with Claude. Everything stays on your machine.
