Your projects, on autopilot.

A free, self-hosted project tracker and changelog monitor — snapshots websites, follows GitHub releases and milestones, watches RSS/Atom feeds, flags what matters with priority keyword rules, and summarizes what happened with local AI (Ollama). No cloud, no API bills, your machine.

Run it with Docker View on GitHub Docker Hub
Docker image: pantera87/projectpulse MIT License GitHub stars Built with Next.js 16

Everything you watch, one priority-sorted feed

Website snapshots

Capture project pages for offline reading. Scheduled checks detect changes — every change becomes a snapshot version plus a diff in your updates feed. Feeds are discovered automatically when a site publishes one.

GitHub tracking

New releases, README changes and commits per repo — plus milestones and issue-label watching. Major version bumps and stable releases are escalated automatically; no keywords needed.

RSS & Atom feeds

Feeds are first-class sources — often the most reliable way to track a project's changelog. New entries land in the same feed, with the same rules.

Priority keyword rules

Word-boundary matching with negation and priorities: flag anything mentioning kernel, linux as critical. With AI on, a semantic pass catches related text that never uses the exact words.

Local AI (optional)

Change summaries, importance classification, goal extraction and category assignment — via local Ollama (bundled in Docker), OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic or MCP. Fully functional without any AI.

Dashboard & search

Projects grouped by AI-assigned category, activity sparklines, unread counters, digest windows (1d/7d/30d), full-text search over everything, JSON backup/restore.

Run it in 30 seconds

Any Docker host — x86-64 or arm64. AI (local Ollama) comes bundled; the default model downloads automatically on first boot. All your data stays on your machine.

# Docker Compose (bundled Ollama + one-shot model pull)
git clone https://github.com/Pantera87/ProjectPulse
cd ProjectPulse && docker compose up -d
# open http://localhost:4701

# …or just the app (bring your own Ollama / use a remote provider)
docker run -d --name projectpulse -p 4701:4701 -v pp_data:/data \
  pantera87/projectpulse:latest

Then add your first project: a URL, owner/repo or a feed. Set AUTH_PASSWORD to enable a login screen, WEBHOOK_URL to forward updates to ntfy/Pushover, or leave AI off entirely — the app is fully functional without it. Full configuration →
