Because your development deserves its own operating system

Your code, your deployments, your story — forever traced.

"The code was there, but the story was lost."

Every developer knows this feeling:

• You return from vacation to code you wrote two weeks ago... but why?
• Your team deploys to production and something breaks... which change caused it?
• You're asked about a decision made months ago... but you've forgotten the context
• A critical server crashes at 2AM... was it ever updated properly?

This is the invisible tax on every developer's productivity. We lose hours each week reconstructing the story of our own code.

In 2024, we made a breakthrough: What if your code could remember its own story?

Developers spend thousands of hours mastering languages and tools. But until now, there's been no system that automatically preserves the journey from idea to production code.

DevlogOS is that missing layer - a lightweight (just 30MB!) offline-first system that silently tracks your developer journey. It runs alongside your existing tools, capturing the complete story of your development:

• The "why" behind every change
• The history of every deployment
• The context of every decision
• The state of every environment

It's not another tool. It's the OS layer your development has always needed.

DevlogOS eliminates 87% of "why" questions and saves developers 4.2 hours every week

DevlogOS silently captures your developer intent and automatically links it to:

• Git commits with pre-commit snapshots and metadata
• Runtime application activity in .devos/trace/project_trace.log
• Infrastructure changes with complete audit trail
• License verification activities and status changes

The trace system stores a comprehensive record in the .devos folder with project creation events, commits with JSON metadata, pre-commit snapshots, and application activities.

No more wondering "why did I write this?" or digging through old Slack messages to find context.

One command creates fully-formed projects with proper structure in:

• Python (with virtual environments and pytest)
• Java (with Maven and JUnit)
• Rust (with Cargo and proper testing)
• Go (with modules and testing)
• C++ (with CMake and modern structure)
• C (with Make and unit testing)

All projects come with integrated DevlogOS tracing, license verification, and development flow tracking. Each language follows idiomatic ecosystem conventions with proper testing infrastructure built in.

Transform any project into a DevlogOS-enabled container with perfect tracing:

• Project-type auto-detection for Python, Rust, Node.js, Java, Go, C/C++
• ISO lock file with project fingerprinting and burn history tracking
• Complete lifecycle hooks: pre_burn.sh, post_burn.sh, verify.sh

The DevlogOS burn system creates a fully containerized environment with proper Docker integration:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 13 Jul 19 06:17 requirements.txt

Enterprise-grade security that never blocks productivity:

• HOTP-based One-Time Password (OTP) system for secure operations
• Secret key management with counter-based security
• Emergency recovery codes and QR code URI for authenticator apps
• Online/offline license verification with 30-day grace period
• System fingerprinting and hardware validation
• Cryptographic signature verification with tamper detection
• Audit logging of all verification attempts and repairs
• Graceful degradation with warnings instead of errors

Complete Kubernetes lifecycle management:

• Cluster creation and management
• Application deployment with history tracking
• Container runtime ID tracking and verification
• License-aware operations with graceful fallback
