How does Makrly generate posts from my commits?

Makrly reads your commit messages, filters out tiny changes, and uses AI to write posts in your voice for each platform. A 2-minute quiz captures your tone so posts sound like you, not generic marketing copy.

How does the changelog work?

Enable auto-mode and every commit or merged PR becomes a changelog entry. Embed the widget on your site with a single script tag. Customize themes, colors, position, and trigger icon. Users can react to entries and subscribe via RSS.

Is my code safe? What permissions do you need?

Yes, your code is safe. We only request read-only access to your repositories. We read commit messages and file names, never your source code. We can't modify your repo or push changes. Revoke access from GitHub settings anytime.

Can I use my own AI API key?

Yes! Bring your own key from OpenAI or OpenRouter. Choose from models including GPT-4o, Claude, Llama, and more. Pay pennies per generation directly to your provider. Makrly does not charge per post.

Will the AI-generated posts sound like me?

Makrly uses a personality quiz and custom prompts to match your writing style closely, avoiding generic AI language.

What does 'bring your own API key' mean?

You can connect your own OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Straico API key to control which AI provider and model generate your posts, paying only for your usage.
