by Meridiona
Meridian is a desktop app that records your screen activity in the background and turns it into a searchable timeline and a daily work summary. It drafts standup notes and worklog updates for tickets, such as Jira, so you don't have to write them by hand.

Make money with it
A freelancer could use the activity logs to bill hourly clients more accurately and show evidence of the work done.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Freelancers can build accurate time records from real activity to back up client invoices and billing disputes.
- Small teams can cut time spent writing standups and ticket updates, and see where estimates went wrong.
Can you use it commercially?
Not open source (PolyForm licence). Usually free to use for your own business, but you can't resell it or offer it as a hosted service. Read the licence.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Download the installer for macOS (Apple Silicon) or Windows from the project site, or build from source with Rust, Node and bun using the provided install scripts.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Licence is PolyForm Strict: source-available, not open source. Commercial use, including inside a company, needs a separate licence, and modifying or redistributing is not allowed.
- Records your screen continuously and uses about 20 GB of storage a month.
- Needs you to connect an AI provider, which may mean paid API keys, and summary data is sent to it.
- Apple Silicon Macs and Windows only; Intel Macs are not supported.
