HONJIN is a desktop app that gathers events from the tools you already use and puts them
into a single time-ordered stream, so you can see what actually moved today without
opening ten dashboards.
It reads the sources you configure yourself, keeps the collected events in a plain
append-only JSONL file on your machine, and can watch sites, folders, APIs, commands,
releases and MCP servers for changes. Notes ("cards") can be written from any event, so
the numbers and failures you run into become reusable material instead of scrolling away.
The extension API is documented and open: a Source (collects events), a Watch (declares
what to monitor in YAML) and a View (a sandboxed HTML panel) are plain files in a folder.
Nothing is uploaded. The app only talks to the endpoints you configure and to GitHub for
update checks. Windows only.
