A developer who finishes a task in two hours through experience, automation, or better tooling can appear less hardworking than someone who takes the entire day. The reward for being efficient is often more work, while long hours remain the most visible signal of effort.
This creates the wrong incentive. People learn to look busy instead of improving how they work.
We re building Meridian to make the work behind outcomes visible, from commits and pull requests to Jira updates and meetings, without requiring developers to document everything manually. It s fully open source and free for individuals.
We re currently #1 on Product Hunt, which suggests this problem resonates with more people than we expected.

This is really cool. How does it map the work with existing tickets.. lets say in Jira?
Meridian
@chilarai Meridian analyzes your on-device activity, then matches that context against open Jira tickets. It suggests the most relevant ticket and drafts an update for you to review and approve before posting.

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.

@akarsh_hegde This is a really interesting approach! I especially like the idea of taking the “remembering and reporting” part out of the workflow so people can focus on the actual work. And running entirely on-device with no account is a big plus for privacy. Great concept - wishing you a successful launch!
Meridian
@adana Thank you for the support! Really appreciate it. Privacy shaped every decision we made, which is why Meridian works on-device and keeps the user in control
Huge congrats to you and the team launch, Akarsh! I really like the problem you’re tackling, the invisible, unplanned work that happens between tickets and commits is often where the real story of a project lives.
The privacy-first and open-source approach makes the product even more compelling, especially for something that’s essentially building a memory layer around how people work.
Wishing you and the team all the best.
Meridian
@davemadeit Thank you for the thoughtful support! We built Meridian to make that invisible work visible without compromising privacy or control. Your encouragement means a lot to the team.

@davemadeit Thank you for the thoughtful support! It means a lot to our team.
Wait so my devs will actually update the Jira without me asking 14 times a day? Take my non-existent money:D
Meridian
@kostfast That’s the goal 😄 Meridian drafts the Jira updates automatically, and your developers review and approve them before anything is posted. As one of Meridian’s makers, we’re building toward fewer interruptions and more visible work. Would this fit your team’s workflow?
