Hi HN! We built Meridian because we kept seeing the same thing: developers get estimates for planned work, and then spend a huge chunk of their time doing everything that wasn't planned. Debugging something weird, helping a teammate, reviewing PRs, jumping on an incident, fixing a flaky test, answering questions, etc. All useful work, but a lot of it never makes it back into the estimate. So when the sprint slips, it can look like the estimate was wrong, when really, a bunch of other work happened in between. Meridian is our attempt to make that work visible and better account for it. We’re building it in the open and open sourcing it because we’d much rather have developers tell us where we're getting this wrong than build another productivity dashboard in a vacuum. We launched last week and ended up #1 on Product Hunt, which was pretty

Meridian is an open-source, local-first work journal for developers. It reconstructs your day from on-screen activity and turns it into daily summaries, standups, time reports, and draft project ticket updates. The goal is to reduce the time spent manually reconstructing unplanned work and writing status updates. Activity is stored in an encrypted database on your machine, and generated updates remain drafts until you review them. Meridian is MIT-licensed and currently supports integrations with Jira, Linear, GitHub, and Azure DevOps.
