What it does

Meridian is a privacy-first Android app that puts a moment of intention between you and your most-used apps. Before you open Instagram or TikTok, Kairos, Meridian's on-device AI asks why you're there. No cloud. No data collection. No subscription. One-time purchase. Built for people who already know they have a phone problem and want a tool that respects their intelligence instead of gamifying their behavior. The AI runs entirely on your device. Your patterns stay yours.

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
