How to Set Up and Use Daymon
Daymon is a desktop application and MCP server that runs your AI assistant around the clock as a persistent background daemon. It provides Claude Desktop and Claude Code with long-term memory, a cron-style task scheduler, and nine built-in worker agent templates — so your AI can proactively research, review code, monitor folders, and send notifications even when you are not actively chatting. It bridges the gap between one-off AI prompts and a genuinely autonomous virtual team.
Prerequisites
- macOS, Windows, or Linux desktop environment
- Claude Desktop or Claude Code installed and configured
- Homebrew (macOS) or access to download the installer from GitHub Releases
- No API keys are required — Daymon auto-configures by detecting your existing Claude installation
Install Daymon
Install the Daymon desktop application using the method that matches your OS. On macOS the easiest path is Homebrew; on Windows and Linux download the installer from GitHub Releases.
# macOS via Homebrew
brew install daymonio/daymon/daymon
# Or download the .dmg / .exe / .deb / .AppImage from:
# https://github.com/daymonio/daymon/releasesLaunch Daymon and let it auto-configure
Open the Daymon app. On first launch it detects your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json) or Claude Code (~/.claude.json) and registers itself as an MCP server automatically. No manual JSON editing is required.
Verify the MCP server is connected
Open a new conversation in Claude Desktop or Claude Code. Ask it to list available tools — you should see Daymon tools for memory, scheduler, workers, and file-watching.
# In Claude Desktop or Claude Code:
What Daymon tools do you have access to?Store a persistent memory
Test the memory capability by asking Claude to remember a fact. Daymon stores it semantically so it can be recalled across sessions.
Schedule a recurring task
Create a cron-style scheduled task. Daymon will wake the AI at the configured time, run the task, and can notify you of results even if Claude Desktop is in the background.
Hire a built-in worker agent
Activate one of the nine built-in agent templates (Chief of Staff, Researcher, Code Reviewer, Writer, Email Assistant, Tech Trend Analyst, Competitor Tracker, DevOps, Data Analyst) from the Daymon UI or via a Claude prompt.
Daymon Examples
Client configuration
Daymon auto-registers itself on first launch, but if you need to add it manually to claude_desktop_config.json, use this block. Adjust the path to match your OS install location.

"mcpServers": {
"daymon": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["daymon"]
}

}Prompts to try
Example prompts that exercise Daymon's memory, scheduler, file-watching, and worker capabilities.
- "Remember that I prefer TypeScript over JavaScript for all new projects"
- "Every weekday at 9am, check HackerNews for AI news and summarize the top 5 stories"
- "Watch my Downloads folder and automatically organize new files into type-based subfolders"
- "List all my scheduled tasks and show their last run status"
- "Create a Code Reviewer worker that reviews every PR I push and posts a summary"Troubleshooting Daymon
Daymon tools do not appear in Claude after installation
Ensure the Daymon desktop application is actually running — it must be open in the background for the MCP server to be active. Restart Claude Desktop after launching Daymon.
Scheduled tasks do not fire at the configured time
Check Daymon's quiet-hours setting in the UI; tasks will not run during configured quiet periods. Also verify your system clock is correct and that the Mac/Windows app has not been force-quit.
Building from source fails with npm errors
Ensure you have Node.js 18+ installed. Run `npm install` inside the cloned repo before `npm run dev`. If Electron native modules fail, run `npm run rebuild` to recompile them for your Node version.
