The problem is real.

01

"Why did we build it this way?"

New engineers ask this daily. Nobody knows. The context is buried in Slack, PRs, and someone's memory.

02

Confluence ADRs nobody updates

You have templates. You have pages. But nobody fills them in because the friction is too high.

03

Board questions with no answer

"Why PostgreSQL over MongoDB?" You know the answer — but can you find the evidence in 30 seconds?

GitHub-Linked Decisions

Every decision links to the PR, issue, and engineers involved. The evidence is always attached — not just the conclusion.

Semantic Search

Ask "why PostgreSQL?" and get the ADR, the alternatives considered, and the engineer who made the call. Instantly.

Why not just use Confluence?

Confluence pages rot. Declog stays alive because decisions auto-capture from GitHub.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace our Confluence wiki?+

No. Declog focuses specifically on technical decisions (ADRs). It complements your wiki by capturing the "why" that wikis usually miss.

What if we already have ADRs in markdown files?+

Import them on signup. Declog can ingest existing ADR files and make them searchable alongside new auto-captured decisions.

How does AI know what counts as a decision?+

Declog looks for PR descriptions that mention alternatives, trade-offs, or "we chose X because." You can also flag any PR manually.

Is our code visible to Declog?+

No. Declog only reads PR titles, descriptions, and comments — never your source code. All data is encrypted at rest.

From the maker
Every engineering team I've been on had the same problem: nobody remembered why decisions were made. Declog makes "why" searchable.
The Declog Team· Built by engineers tired of re-debating old decisions
Early feedback
A new engineer asked "why PostgreSQL?" on day one. Instead of a 30-minute meeting, I sent them a Declog link.
