DailyHub

Personal command center

The day, in one place.

A quiet workspace for people who juggle more than one project at a time — founders, consultants, indie builders. Client work, side projects, and a few non-negotiable daily habits.

Not Linear. Not Notion. The morning surface: what is open, what belongs where, what must happen today.

Surfaces

Four pages. The day still fits on one of them.

Desktop uses a left sidebar; smaller screens use a bottom tab bar. Light and dark themes are built in. Check a box and it is done for today — no ceremony.

01 · Today

The morning surface

Greeting, quick add, nudges, snapshot stats, today’s habits, open work by project, inbox.

02 · Projects

What is still open

Progress, due dates, milestones, and a stalled banner when something sits too long.

03 · Habits

The non-negotiables

Weekday schedules, a 14-day consistency trail, and completion without ceremony.

04 · Analytics

What actually shipped

Completions over time, project breakdown, habit rates, weekday patterns.

A day, in motion

The calm between the tasks.

DailyHub is made for the moment before the work begins — when a crowded day becomes a few clear next steps.

What you keep

Projects, tasks, habits, and a log of what actually happened.

Create and edit from dialogs. Completions are written automatically when you check something off, then charted on Analytics.

  1. Projects

    Where work belongs

    Name, icon, optional logo, status, due date, and milestones. Active, paused, or done — nothing more elaborate.

  2. Tasks

    Attached, or inbox

    Title, notes, due date, estimate. Tie a task to a project, or leave it unfiled until it has a home.

  3. Habits

    The weekday loop

    Recurring checklist items with icons and a weekday schedule. Toggle completes for today only.

  4. Completion log

    What you already finished

    Every check writes a log. Analytics reads it — no extra step, no export ritual in v1.

MCP integration

Your workspace, available to your AI tools.

DailyHub includes a local Model Context Protocol server, so an MCP client can work with the same projects, tasks, habits, inbox, and analytics you see in the app.

01 · Local by default

Private connection

The endpoint runs on your machine at /mcp, bound to 127.0.0.1 and protected with a bearer token.

02 · One command

Get the connection details

$ npx @baselhusam/daily-hub mcp

It prints the endpoint and token-ready client configuration. Start with --no-mcp whenever you want it disabled.

03 · Work, not busywork

Manage the day conversationally

List, create, and update projects, tasks, habits, and inbox items; complete tasks and habits; or ask for a concise snapshot of your progress.

Quick start

One command. Your machine.

v1 has no authentication. Keep it on localhost, a private network, or behind a VPN / reverse-proxy.

A · npx

SQLite, no Docker

Requires Node 22+ and a free port (9999 by default). Data lives in ~/.daily-hub/.

$ npx @baselhusam/daily-hub

  • data.db — SQLite database
  • uploads/ — project and habit logos
  • --seed — sample data on first run

B · Docker

SQLite, self-host

Published to Docker Hub and GHCR. Persistent volume for data.db and uploads.

$ docker run -d --name dailyhub -p 9999:9999 -v dailyhub_data:/app/data baselhusam/daily-hub:latest

  • App on :9999
  • Migrations on container start
  • GHCR alternative: ghcr.io/baselhusam/daily-hub:latest
  • Clone and docker compose up --build to compile locally

C · Notes

Keep the files local

SQLite and file sync do not mix. npx, local dev, and Docker all use the same data.db format.

  • Do not put ~/.daily-hub/ in iCloud or Dropbox
  • Backup = copy the whole data folder
  • First npx download is large (~80 MB); later runs are instant
