deariary – An automated diary generated from the tools you use

I have never been able to keep a diary. Tried paper notebooks, journaling apps, daily templates. Always the same arc: a week of momentum, then nothing. The busiest days vanished first, because I was too busy living them to write anything down. At some point I noticed that I was already recording my life without trying. My calendar had every meeting. Slack had every conversation. GitHub had every commit. The raw material was there, just scattered across a dozen APIs. So I wrote a set of collectors and a cron job that pulls it all together every morning and has an LLM write a diary entry from…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I have never been able to keep a diary. Tried paper notebooks, journaling apps, daily templates. Always the same arc: a week of momentum, then nothing. The busiest days vanished first, because I was too busy living them to write anything down. At some point I noticed that I was already recording my life without trying. My calendar had every meeting. Slack had every conversation. GitHub had every commit. The raw material was there, just scattered across a dozen APIs. So I wrote a set of collectors and a cron job that pulls it all together every morning and has an LLM write a diary entry from the raw data. Lately my conversations with OpenClaw are ending up in the diary too, and honestly those are some of the best entries. The silly back-and-forth, the questions I asked at 2am. That is the kind of thing I would never write down myself but will love rereading in a year. The prototype worked well enough that I wanted other people to be able to use it too. That meant turning a personal cron job into a pipeline that handles many users, many integrations, and many timezones reliably every morning. That is where the real complexity lives, and what I have been building for the past month. Service website: https://deariary.com Public development diary generated by deariary itself: https://app.deariary.com/u/deariaryapp Happy to talk about the approach or anything else. P.S. I connected my Steam account and my diary casually mentioned I'd been playing Super Jigsaw Puzzle Generations for 60-120 minutes every single day for weeks. I had no idea I was doing that. This app is a snitch.

    I fixed journaling for myself2022 · dailyprompt.org · ▲66

    Journaling is a great practice to learn more about yourself - if done daily. I tried it multiple times and couldn't stick to it. This project is how I finally fixed it for myself. It works by eliminating my excuses. There is only one question a day that I'll answer - no time spent on "finding the perfect topic". I only need to go to the page - not find my notebook or create a new note/paragraph in another app. I only left myself a relatively small input area, less than a page in a small notebook - that way the commitment doesn't feel too big. I really enjoy the process and it has become…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
