In plain words
Meridian is an open-source AI work journal that runs locally on your device without requiring cloud storage or account creation. It automatically logs your daily activities and generates plain-language summaries and project management tool updates throughout the day, capturing not just completed tasks but also time spent, delays, and context for why work took as long as it did. The tool is designed for professionals who want documentation of their accomplishments with minimal manual effort.

Meridian is an open-source AI work journal that runs entirely on your device. It writes your work up in plain English as the day goes, so by the end of the day you have a summary of everything you did. Meridian automatically drafts your updates for your project management tools like Jira, ready to post once you approve them. Do the work. Let the remembering take care of itself. No cloud, no account. MIT-licensed, free.
Meridian gives engineering leaders a clear view of delivery health, risks, decisions, and what changed.
Meridian connects the dots between plans, people, and progress - so you can see what is moving, what is at risk, and what needs a decision. Select a project to inspect its health. Then follow the thread from signal to decision. The API contract review slipped by 3 days, leaving the data backfill with only one day of buffer. API contract review moved from Sep 18 to Sep 21 after two open questions from the data team. Backfill, staging validation, and the Oct 04 launch milestone. Choose whether to ship the first backfill with the current contract or move the milestone. ↖ Everything here is live - try selecting a different project or detail. When every team is moving faster, delivery gets…from meridiona.com

Axis OneNov 2025 · axis-one-psi.vercel.app · ▲78I’ve been building a small hardware box that runs local LLMs like Mistral, Qwen and Llama, and exposes an OpenAI compatible API on your local network. There’s no cloud, no login system and no telemetry. I built it because a lot of small firms want ChatGPTbstyle tools but can’t use cloud AI for privacy or compliance reasons, and most don’t want to deal with GPU servers, drivers, Docker or model configs. The aim is to make local AI feel as simple as plugging in a router. Right now the box boots into a very simple web UI where you choose a model and start using it. The API follows the OpenAI…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
