Personal dashboard turned into a local, privacy-first open-source wiki
A developer rebuilt their personal dashboard into an open-source wiki tool that runs entirely on a local AI model — no cloud required. It analyzes your own data and uses behavioral science research to suggest concrete next actions.
The project started as a simple personal dashboard for collecting notes, tasks, and other personal data in one place. The developer then connected a local LLM — an AI model that runs on your own computer without sending anything to the internet — to analyze that data and surface actionable insights in a wiki-style interface. The tool draws on 'flourishing research,' a field in psychology and behavioral science focused on helping people thrive, to go beyond plain data organization and recommend practical steps. Because everything runs locally and the code is open-source, your data stays private and you can customize the tool freely.
Key points
- Runs on a local LLM — your data never leaves your computer
- Analyzes personal notes and records to suggest real actions to take
- Applies flourishing research (behavioral science) for more than just data storage
- Fully open-source: free to install, use, and modify
- Works completely offline with no internet connection needed
