Features

Built for engineers,
not managers

Every feature is designed around how developers actually think and work — async, contextual, and deeply technical.

Auto-generated digests
Every week, Saltus reads your commits, PRs, tickets, and threads to compile a plain-English summary of what you shipped and learned.
✦ AI-powered
Growth over time
Track velocity, complexity, review cycles, and skill breadth across quarters. See where you were, and how far you've come.
↑ Trend analysis
Brag doc builder
Generate a polished brag doc or performance review narrative in seconds. Export to PDF, Notion, or share a public link.
→ Export-ready
Impact quantification
Saltus turns git blame and ticket data into human-readable impact statements. "Reduced P95 latency by 38%" writes itself.
⬡ Data-driven
Shareable portfolio
A public or private engineering portfolio page that updates automatically. Bring it to interviews, link it from your resume.
◎ Public link
Goal tracking
Set quarterly growth goals — "lead 3 code reviews", "own a service end-to-end" — and watch Saltus track progress automatically.
◇ Goal-aware

Stories

Engineers love it

"I used to dread performance reviews. Now I just open Saltus and pull the last quarter. My manager said it was the most detailed self-review she'd ever seen."

"I'm a principal eng and I still had no idea how to articulate my scope. Saltus figured it out from my GitHub and Slack data. Blew my mind."

"Got a competing offer, used Saltus to print my last year of work as a brag doc. Walked into the negotiation with receipts. Counter-offered by 40k."
