Monitoring my life with Grafana, Prometheus and InfluxDB
I love the idea of quantified self and recently decided to pull all of my data in one place. I pull all of my data from ActivityWatch, Wakatime, and Health Connect APIs :)

What it does
I'm a data nerd and love to collect data and optimize stuff based on that. I have been using tools like ActivityWatch, Wakatime, and Smartwatches to monitor myself. But so far all that data was scattered across different places and it was hard to get a holistic view. And this made it really hard to understand patterns and optimize. Last weekend, I learnt about Grafana and Prometheus out of curiousity. I used to love Metabase + PostgreSQL combination but Grafana + Prometheus + InfluxDB combination is a different beast altogether! It's very powerful and extensible. ActivityWatch stores all the data in a SQLite DB and I tried using it when I started. Grafana has a plugin for SQLite and I could…from kshivendu.dev

Hey HN, after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own. Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway. For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary. So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.

Mochi AnalyticsJul 2026 · mochianalytics.com · ▲17Hey everyone, I wanted to see if I could build something like DataFa.st myself, so I made MochiAnalytics. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. It’s got all the bells and whistles a small team or solo founder would need to track campaigns and to see which channel is driving revenue. It’s a cheaper analytics tool for side projects, indie hackers, and small apps. I honestly wish I could make it free, but it still needs servers, a database, and a backend to keep event ingestion running 24/7, so there are real costs behind it. I’m still working on it and will keep adding more features…
I made an Open Source Personal Data Pipeline2024 · joshcanhelp.com · ▲5Hi there! I've been working with data in one form or another, professionally, for about 5 years. I've been thinking about my own personal data and how it's used for at least twice that long. I've been sort of building something in my head for a while that solves my own problem and, in the beginning of this year, I found the opportunity to spend some time building it out. I'll leave the detailed explanation to the blog post but, in short, I built what amounts to an API crawler combined with a data processor to help you download your personal data from 3rd party services and work with it using…
