IncidentScribe

The postmortem drafter for SREs who can’t paste into ChatGPT.

Apple Intelligence, on-device, timeline-first. macOS only.

How it works

  1. Drop in your incident artefacts

    Paste a Slack export, a PagerDuty incident dump, or a raw log file. Multi-thousand lines is fine.

  2. On-device extraction

    IncidentScribe extracts a structured timeline of events from your raw input. Every event is verified against the source text before it lands in the timeline — fabricated participants and timestamps are dropped before you ever see them.

  3. Five-section postmortem draft

    Summary, Timeline, Root Cause, Contributing Factors, Action Items. Drafted from the structured timeline, not the raw text. Every claim cites the timeline events that support it; every event cites its source slice. Two clicks back to the original log line.

  4. Edit, sign off, export

    Markdown or PDF, to a destination you choose. Nothing leaves your Mac — the Mac App Store sandbox is the verifier.

Why on-device

Every cloud incident-management vendor shipped AI postmortem drafting in 2024–2026 — incident.io, Rootly, FireHydrant, PagerDuty/Jeli, Datadog, Squadcast, Better Stack, Grafana OnCall, Atlassian Compass. All require shipping incident data to the vendor’s cloud.

Some buyers can’t do that. Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citi, Goldman, JPMorgan, Samsung post-2023, Apple internal, healthcare under HIPAA posture, defence, pharma. Standing enterprise ChatGPT bans haven’t softened — the 2025 ChatGPT share-indexing incident, the November 2025 OpenAI/Mixpanel breach, and the September 2025 Anthropic three-issues postmortem all hardened them further.

IncidentScribe is a Mac-native postmortem drafter built for the regulated-buyer market. It runs Apple’s on-device Foundation Models with no telemetry, no cloud sync, no third-party SDKs, no remote logging. App Sandbox enforces every claim mechanically.

Built for SREs by SREs

IncidentScribe is built by a team that’s been on call. Every design choice serves the operator who’s writing a postmortem at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday, with their security team’s policies hanging over their shoulder.

The product is Mac-native, indie, and shipped through the Mac App Store. No team tier, no enterprise tier. If your stack is small enough to fit on one operator’s Mac, IncidentScribe is built for you.
