Launched this week
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.
Can non-devs use this product? I would love to!
Meridian
@himani_sah1 Yes, it’s for anyone who works on a computer! We’ve tested Meridian with non-developers, and it works very well for them too.

@himani_sah1 @adityaharish2002 how does this work for non-devs? for example, if my workflow is a combination of email, zoom calls, slack, claude/chatgpt, manus -- does it just take screen shots periodically and from their deduce what tasks i have worked on or is there something else?

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.
Meridian
@adamroot Yes, Meridian can generate a weekly bullet-point summary of completed work, so you don’t have to spend an hour compiling it manually.
Meridian
@adamroot Yes, Meridian can serve as an automatic second brain for work. It continuously captures on-device activity, organizes it into a timeline, and preserves the context Claude would otherwise miss, including investigations, decisions, unexpected fixes, and unplanned work. Unlike Obsidian, it does not require you to manually write and organize every note.
It does not currently pull context from Granola transcripts.

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.
