Watch how it works

[](https://github.com/Meridiona/meridian#watch-how-it-works) See how Meridian turns a day of screen activity into a timeline, a daily summary, and updated tickets, without anything typed in by hand.

Meridian automatically reconstructs your day

[](https://github.com/Meridiona/meridian#meridian-automatically-reconstructs-your-day) Meridian rebuilds your day from what actually happened on screen, so you can scrub back through it like a recording instead of trying to remember.

At the end of the day, Meridian tells you what you actually got done, what pulled you off plan, and hands you a standup already written and ready to paste into Jira.

Questions Meridian Already Answers

[](https://github.com/Meridiona/meridian#questions-meridian-already-answers) | You ask | What Meridian does | | --- | --- | | "What did I actually do on this ticket?" | Drafts the update from what you actually did, ready to post. | | "What was I even working on three months ago today?" | Saves every day as it happens, so you can pull any of them back up. | | "What did I get done yesterday?" | Writes your standup overnight from what you actually did. | | "Why did this take five days when we estimated two?" | Logs what actually happened, so you can see exactly where the estimate went wrong. | | "Where does my time actually go?" | Tracks where every hour actually went, so you're looking at data, not a guess. |

Privacy

[](https://github.com/Meridiona/meridian#privacy)

Your activity stays in one encrypted database on your machine. Analysis runs through whichever AI provider you connect, and only what a summary needs is sent to it. Diagnostics are opt-out and stripped of anything identifying before they ever leave your device.

System Requirements

[](https://github.com/Meridiona/meridian#system-requirements) | | | | --- | --- | | **Platform** | macOS (Apple Silicon only, Intel is not supported) or Windows 10/11 | | **CPU** | 5 to 10% average, running quietly in the background | | **Memory** | 0.5 to 3 GB | | **Storage** | About 20 GB a month, older capture is pruned automatically after 30 days | | **Database** | Encrypted at rest |

Build from Source

[](https://github.com/Meridiona/meridian#build-from-source) **Requirements:** macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel) or Windows 10/11, Rust 1.93.1 (pinned via `rust-toolchain.toml`, installs automatically), Node 20+, and bun.

git clone https://github.com/Meridiona/meridian cd meridian cp .env.example .env bash install-dev.sh # builds all dependencies bash scripts/setup-hooks.sh # install git hooks, run this before your first commit bash dev-start.sh # starts the daemon and the tray in watch mode

`dev-start.sh` opens two terminal windows, the Rust daemon and the Tauri tray, both of which rebuild automatically when you save a file. Capture runs in-process inside the tray, so nothing else needs to be installed or registered separately.

Full setup details, including how to reset onboarding, re-download the embedder, and the exact checks CI runs before a pull request, are in **CONTRIBUTING.md**.
