Welcome to Morgenruf

Open-source async standup bot for Slack. Free, lightweight, and self-hostable.

What is Morgenruf?

Morgenruf is an open-source Slack bot that automates daily async standups for your engineering team. It DMs each team member with your configured standup questions, collects their responses, and posts a clean summary to your designated channel — all at a time you choose.

The name comes from German: Morgenruf means "morning call." Configure everything via the web dashboard, then sit back — the bot handles the rest. It's designed to be simple, respectful of everyone's time, and completely transparent: you can inspect, modify, and host every line of code yourself.

Key Features

• Posts summaries to any channel, at any time, in any timezone
