About this tool
Turn rough bullets for yesterday, today and blockers into a tidy daily-scrum update formatted for Slack, Markdown, Jira or plain text.
The Standup Notes Generator formats a daily scrum update around the three standard questions — what I did, what I will do next, and what is blocking me — and outputs it in Slack mrkdwn, Markdown, Jira wiki markup or plain text. Bullet characters, hyphens and 1. numbering are stripped from whatever you paste, so a messy scratchpad becomes a consistent update in one step. It suits developers, designers and project managers on distributed teams who post a written standup instead of attending a call.
Open Standup Notes Generator on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Provide your input — an image, text, or data.
Let the tool analyze or generate the result.
Review, refine, and reuse the output wherever you need it.
Slack bold uses a single asterisk while Markdown uses two — each format is emitted with the syntax that platform actually parses.
Leading -, *, • and 1. markers are removed automatically, so you can paste straight from notes.
Character count is shown and anything past Slack's 40,000-character message limit is flagged before you paste it.
What did I do since the last standup, what will I do before the next one, and what is blocking my progress. The Scrum Guide does not mandate these exact questions, but they remain the most common structure for the 15-minute Daily Scrum that Scrum does prescribe.
Name the outcome rather than the activity — 'refund API on staging, awaiting QA' beats 'worked on refunds' — and always give a blocker an owner and a next action. Two to four items per section is usually enough; long lists get skimmed.
Slack messages use mrkdwn, not Markdown, and mrkdwn defines *bold*, _italic_ and ~strike~. Typing **bold** in Slack shows the asterisks literally, which is why this tool switches syntax when you change the output format.
A Slack message tops out at 40,000 characters via chat.postMessage, and individual section blocks are limited to 3,000. A normal standup is a few hundred characters, but the tool shows the count and warns if a pasted update would be rejected.
