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.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Three months ago, I quit my job to build Meridian. My co-founder and I kept running into the same problem many developers face: we would ask claude to write an update, then spend ten minutes reconstructing the context it had missed. It knew what we told it, but not the four unexpected problems we had solved along the way.
That unplanned work is real, and bigger than most people think. I posted about it on Reddit: "We software developers massively underestimate how much unplanned work we do every single sprint" and it went viral, which told us we weren't the only ones feeling this.
Meridian does the remembering for us. It runs quietly in the background, groups the day into a timeline, matches the work to open Jira and GitHub tickets, and drafts the update - so by the end of the day there's a work log, a standup note, and a daily summary ready to paste, not write.
A few things I care about, as a developer myself:
- We care deeply about privacy - nothing leaves your device until you hit approve.
- Open source - you can audit exactly what it's doing.
- Free for individual developers. No seat, no credit card.
- Bring your own AI - runs on the Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex CLI you already have, or Groq for free if you don't.

minimalist phone: reduce your screentime
Is it voice-led right?
Meridian
@busmark_w_nika Not currently. We don’t record voice. We may explore that for meetings in the future, but for now, Meridian gets enough context from on-device activity.

We’re live today! I’d love your honest feedback, especially on the onboarding, activity timeline, and drafted work updates. Every comment helps us improve Meridian.
