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. MIT-licensed, free.

We were featured three times in the Product Hunt newsletter! 🎉
We were featured three times in the Product Hunt newsletter, including once before our launch day had even ended.
Meridian finished as the #1 Product of the Day, and we are now aiming for the top of the August monthly leaderboard.
Meridian is an open-source, MIT-licensed, local-first AI work journal built to ensure meaningful work does not go unnoticed. It runs on your device, captures real work activity, organizes it into a clear timeline, connects it with GitHub and Jira, and drafts worklogs and project updates for review and approval.
We want to make work more visible without turning productivity software into surveillance. Meridian keeps the underlying context on the user s device, gives them control over what gets shared, and remains open source so anyone can inspect how it works.
We Got 400 Downloads on Day One. Can Meridian Top the Month?

Meridian finished as the #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt and crossed 400 downloads on its first day.
We built Meridian because meaningful work often disappears between debugging sessions, unexpected fixes, and updates written from memory. It is an open-source, MIT-licensed, local-first AI work journal that runs on your device, organizes your activity into a clear timeline, and drafts worklogs and project updates for you to review and approve.
Now we want to top the August monthly leaderboard, and we need your support. Please upvote Meridian on Product Hunt, download it, and star the GitHub repository.
If you want me to share Meridian s daily download numbers, comment below and I will post them.
I repeatedly watched our projects miss deadlines, cut corners in SDLC, and eventually get rebuilt
I learned that as software gets easier to build, coordination becomes the bottleneck.
At my previous work, I repeatedly watched our projects miss deadlines, cut corners in the SDLC, and eventually get rebuilt - not because engineers couldn t build them, but because teams discovered too late that reality had diverged from the plan.
I also noticed smaller teams consistently moved faster. Not necessarily because they had better engineers, but because context travelled faster: everyone knew what changed, what was blocked, what had been tried, and why.
After years building AI-native systems for enterprises and leading engineers, I ve seen the same pattern repeatedly: engineering slows down when context gets fragmented and feedback arrives late.
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?

Congrats on shipping. Any plans to launch a team plan?
Meridian
@syed_shayanur_rahman Thanks Rahman, we are currently in talks with different B2B orgs and plan to release it soon, would love to connect and work with you!
@adityaharish2002 the AIdrafting keeps timing out after running for 1-2 minutes.
love the concept. will keep trying!
Meridian
@andreas_jablonka Looking into it right now, which os are you using Windows or Macos?
@adityaharish2002 Mac os latest Tahoe build m3 apple silicon binary
Meridian
@andreas_jablonka Is this in the tutorial onboarding step or post that?
@adityaharish2002 that was onboarding yes. seem fine since I switched to Ollama
Meridian
@andreas_jablonka Thanks for confirming. We’ll investigate the onboarding issue on the latest macOS Tahoe build for Apple Silicon. Glad switching to Ollama resolved it for now.
@adityaharish2002 might have been both. the autostart works too. next was the fullscreen default I think
Finally an AI that translates "Fixed some stuff in the backend" into human words so i can actually write a changelog😅
Meridian
@eugene_chernyak exactly 😅 Meridian turns the messy reality of the workday into a clear update you can actually share. As one of Meridian’s makers, I’d love to know what you usually use for changelogs.
This is cool! I’ll be able to focus on the actual work instead of getting stuck in operations.
Meridian
@prarthana_kalal Glad to hear that! As one of Meridian’s makers, that’s the standard we’re building toward: less time spent writing updates, and more time focused on the work itself. What part of your daily workflow would you most want Meridian to handle?
From the positioning standpoint, this can someday also replace those time-tracking apps. Well done!
Meridian
@zerotox Yes, from day one, we’ve focused on helping individuals understand their work without turning Meridian into a monitoring tool. That’s why we’re starting with individual users first. Thanks for your support!
I have been using the product for more than 2 months now and I am one of the beta users, I love the product and how it's shaping up, great going!

@sathvik_sathvik1 Thank you for being one of our early users and supporting us from the start! Really appreciate the feedback and encouragement.
