Daymon — Run your favorite AI while you sleep

# Daymon > Open source autopilot for Claude. Scheduled tasks, persistent memory, background automation. Daymon is a macOS menu bar app that gives Claude persistent memory, scheduled tasks, workers, and file watchers — all running locally on your machine. No API keys. No cloud. Uses your existing Claude subscription. ## How It Works Install Daymon → it auto-configures Claude Desktop and Claude Code → tell Claude what you want scheduled, remembered, or watched → Daymon handles the rest in the background. ## Features - **Scheduled Tasks**: Cron, one-time, or on-demand. "Every weekday at 9am, check HackerNews for AI news." 24 built-in schedule presets. - **Persistent Memory**: Knowledge graph with semantic search. Say it once, it sticks forever. Hybrid FTS + vector search. - **Workers**: Named agent personalities with system prompts. 9 templates (Chief of Staff, Researcher, Code Reviewer, Writer, Email Assistant, Tech Trend Analyst, Competitor Tracker, DevOps, Data Analyst) or create your own. - **Auto-Nudge**: When a background task finishes, results automatically appear in your active Claude Code chat. Per-task control: always, failures only, or never. Quiet hours support. - **Self-Improving Tasks**: Tasks get smarter every run. Memory-aware execution injects past results and cross-task knowledge. - **Session Continuity**: Tasks resume where they left off using `--resume`. Each run builds on the last. - **File Watchers**: Watch folders for changes and act automatically. - **100% Local**: SQLite database on your Mac. No cloud, no account. ## Architecture - **Desktop** menu bar / system tray app (thin UI shell) - **Sidecar** standalone Node.js HTTP server (cron scheduler, file watchers, task execution, embeddings) - **MCP Server** (stdio transport) for Claude Desktop and Claude Code integration - **Shared modules** used by both sidecar and MCP server ## MCP Tools ### Memory - `daymon_remember` — Store a fact, preference, or project detail - `daymon_r
