Description
DevIntern is a self-hosted automation tool designed to streamline the software development workflow by transforming project management tickets into actionable pull requests. It operates on your own machines, polling your existing task trackers like Jira, Linear, Trello, Asana, Azure DevOps, GitHub Issues, and even plain markdown files. The system then utilizes your preferred coding agents, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or OpenCode, to generate code and create pull requests.

The core functionality of DevIntern revolves around automating the repetitive aspects of development. It manages the entire lifecycle from ticket intake to pull request creation, including queue management, branch and PR state machines, optional auto-review, handling review comments as new commits, and robust rate-limit recovery. This ensures that your coding agents can work efficiently and autonomously, freeing up human developers to focus on more complex tasks and critical decision-making.
DevIntern emphasizes security and control, as all credentials and sensitive data remain on your local machines. It integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, requiring no changes to your repository, reviewers, CI/CD pipelines, or tracker. Pull requests arrive in the format your team is accustomed to, allowing for a smooth integration into current review processes. The platform also includes a feasibility gate to prevent vague specifications from becoming incorrect pull requests, and an optional self-review loop where the agent critiques and fixes its own code before human review.
For planning, DevIntern PM (a desktop app for macOS and Linux) helps product managers turn rough prompts, error logs, or Figma designs into clear, codebase-grounded tickets. This ensures that engineering teams receive well-defined tasks with clear scope and acceptance criteria, reducing clarification round-trips. The system is built for unattended work, featuring persistent queues, crash recovery, and provider rate-limit detection to ensure continuous operation.
DevIntern offers flexible pricing, including a free interactive use option and a 14-day worker pilot without a credit card. Continued unattended automation requires a Supporter license for solo users or Team/Business subscriptions for larger groups. The software is source-available under the FSL, converting to Apache-2.0 after two years, providing transparency and ensuring long-term usability even if development ceases. This commitment to open access and self-hosting makes DevIntern a robust and reliable solution for automating development tasks.
