This is a thoughtful take on status reporting because it focuses on reconstructing why the day changed, not just counting time. The tradeoff is that anyone considering screen and window capture will care a lot about attribution details and review controls.

I found Meridian especially interesting because I haven't seen another product that focuses on individual productivity tracking without being surveillance-based. That's what impressed me the most about it.

end of busy day? did you get done what needed doing? no? what else did you get done or did you just get distracted on YouTube? meridian shows you your work day. I love the feeling of productivity!

Meridiona has been really useful for self-reflection. It gives me accurate data on how I actually spend my time and helps me understand where I’m being productive and where I can improve.

Neat use case - curious who the optimal end users are - devs running into these issues? Or could it even be less capable no code folks who are trying to build with a Claude / whatever other bug triage tools?

This is a fascinating product, congratulations! If a lot of my work happens on a remote VM that I SSH into from a local computer, does this support that, or plans to support that?

Meridian seems to absolutely need an account and can't be used without it. What is the account for, and if it is to get product updates, am curious why it's gating usage. The app also requires quite a bit of access such as audio and screen recording, as well as accessibility. Am not sure the claim "privacy first" matches these required permissions especially with llm egress into the mix? Also curious why the app isn't on the app store where there is a third party attestation you're not doing anything weird? I understand the open source claim, but as long as the user doesn't compile the app themselves there is less visibility into what it does, and 2 of your claims from the launch description sadly don't seem to match the actual app :( . (Disclosure: I'm building in an adjacent space and have built developer tools at scale, which is why I care about how privacy claims get made in these categories)

Does it not auto-log the tasks based on what it sees on the browser? I tried it but it didn't log what I am doing inside Chrome.
