Questions before you install.
What Standcast costs, what it reads, what it needs and who sees what.
Is it free?
Yes, during the public beta.
How much will it cost after the beta?
Pricing will be announced before the public beta ends.
Does Standcast read our code?
No. The GitHub App reads pull requests, reviews, checks, commit metadata, standcast.yml and CODEOWNERS. It never reads source files.
What do I need?
A GitHub organization or personal account, and a Slack workspace or Google Chat in Google Workspace. Linear is optional. Jira, ClickUp, Asana, GitHub Projects, Microsoft Teams and Discord are coming and are not connected yet.
Which agents can I write my daily with?
Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Claude Desktop and VS Code, through the Claude Code plugin or the local MCP server. The terminal works too.
Can my manager see my suggested blockers?
No. Suggestions are visible only to you, in your own draft. They never reach the digest, the API, webhooks or managers.
Can Standcast send a daily for me?
No. The MCP submit tool needs confirmed: true, which the agent passes only after you approve the text.
Can we self-host?
Yes. Standcast is MIT licensed. The self-hosting section of the README covers the API, the worker and Postgres.
Try it with your team.
We're looking for teams of 3 to 15 people on GitHub and Slack or Google Chat. We'll help you set it up.
