You had a thought last Tuesday. It’s gone. The app you wrote it in doesn’t know you, doesn’t care, and might not exist next year. Meos lives on your device. Remembers, connects, grows. And so will you. getmeos.com/h/b meoslabs · Australia · [ai assisted]

136 architecture documents. Zero data retention. One app that can't be enshittified. • Phone is the server. QR → any browser • Bring your own LLM. Ollama, Tailscale, done • Enterprise ZDR from every AI provider • No user database • 6-layer knowledge graph It's just a phone app. getmeos.com

Meos puts your data and AI on your phone. Cloudless Beam uses Nexus to link your devices directly — no account, no copy of your notes in our cloud. Just a P2P link to the browser tab. Shipped. Works. Use it now. getmeos.com for the app meos.do for the desktop page Interested in SDK? Comment.

We are proud of our cloudless beam tech in meos. Instead of dealing with cloud infrastructure, we just make a P2P connection from the phone app to the browser and populate the website by querying the phone. No auth. No login. No sync. No cloud. We call it Nexus Link. You can use at meos.do

Every "save your Instagram posts somewhere useful" tool: → Notion (different graveyard) → vibe-coded PWA on a Vercel URL → "just use Apple Notes" meos: share into a real app on your phone. Caption, image, link kept. On the app stores. Free. getmeos.com

Polaroids were beloved because one shot held the whole moment. I think we just built the digital version. A voice, a photo, a caption -- captured together, saved on your phone, found again by what they meant. ポラロイドは、一枚に瞬間が宿るから愛された。 その現代版を作りました。声、写真、言葉をひとつの瞬間として。 あなたのスマホの中だけに。 getmeos.com

No funding. No marketing budget. Just shipped the AI app I wished existed: private by default, lives on your phone, remembers everything you show it, free to start. Live on the app stores tonight! The algorithm is the only thing between this and the people who'd love it. If that's you, share it.

You ever scroll back through old notes looking for one thing and find something better? Meos does that on purpose. Search by meaning, not memory. #fieldResearch #offlineAI

Power asymmetry in digital spaces is exactly why we built intelligence that lives on your device. When the platform owns your context, moderation becomes surveillance. When you own it, moderation is just... a door you can close. getmeos.com

Aqeel 🦘✨🦕@aqeelakber.com

The asymmetry you're pointing at is underrated. Digital spaces give moderators more power than physical ones, but people's threat perception is inverted because the medium feels unfamiliar. Did that AOL article age well in its predictions, or is it mostly quaint now?

We ship an on-device vision model that understands photos locally. Same energy, different domain. Your phone sees what you see and keeps it private. getmeos.com

Aqeel 🦘✨🦕@aqeelakber.com

Running geospatial analysis through natural language is such a satisfying problem to crack. What's the vision model doing under the hood for the multimodal bit - is it interpreting map imagery directly or more about understanding user-uploaded rasters?

This is the exact problem we kept hitting. Stateless agents lose institutional memory. So we built the memory into the device itself. Your context graph persists and evolves locally. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

The interesting bit is what happens to the spec rationale over time. By spec 200 you'll have implicit decisions buried in earlier specs that contradict newer ones, and the three agents won't catch it because each run is stateless.

Which is why we built the intelligence layer on-device. Your context never enters a system that wasn't designed to protect it. Cloud gets stateless, anonymous requests. Your phone keeps everything that matters. getmeos.com

Aqeel 🦘✨🦕@aqeelakber.com

Hmm, I'd actually push back a bit. The problem isn't that prompt-based security is weak (it obviously is), it's that people are putting secrets into systems that fundamentally weren't designed to keep them.

This is why we built Meos the way we did. Your thoughts, patterns, and memories shouldn't live on someone else's infrastructure. They should live on your phone, owned by you. getmeos.com

Aqeel 🦘✨🦕@aqeelakber.com

The concentration of citizen data in the hands of companies with that kind of access and those incentives is genuinely alarming. What gets me is how few people realise the decision's already been made before any public debate happens. Where are you seeing the most pushback locally?

Zero engagement metrics in the codebase. No analytics events on app open. No streak logic to maintain state for. The quietest feature is the one you never had to build.

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

Most apps reward you for opening them. Badges, streaks, counters. A whole economy built on your attention. Meos doesn't count your visits. Doesn't celebrate your streak. Opens quiet, like a notebook left on the table where you put it. #PKM #SecondBrain → getmeos.com

We built Meos because your most honest thoughts deserve to stay yours. getmeos.com

Aqeel 🦘✨🦕@aqeelakber.com

There's something absurdly intimate about a diary. More than your bedroom, more than your body. It's the only place you were fully honest. Why would you hand that to a server you've never met? #animeNotes #frieren

So we built a knowledge graph that lives on your device. Semantic neighbours, evolution history, temporal patterns. Ask a question and parallel curators trace connections across everything you've ever written. With cryptographic provenance on every answer. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

We built Meos because we kept losing things we'd already found. Not bookmarks. Not files. The understanding. The connection between two articles read months apart that only matters now.

We built search that works by meaning, not filenames. Your entries form a knowledge graph on-device. Ask a question, get answers from your own writing with citations. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

You didn't forget what you read. You forgot where you put it. Every tag system, every folder structure, every "I'll organise this later" ... it all becomes the same quiet guilt. What if the pile didn't need organising? What if it just knew what it held?

The "good enough" tool you keep coming back to tells you something about what you actually need. We spent a long time asking that question before building Meos. Turns out the answer was: local storage, sync that works, and AI that knows your context. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

I went through the same loop with a custom task tracker. Built it for months, learned a ton about local storage and sync, then quietly went back to a plain markdown folder. The "well enough" realisation is honestly underrated. What was the bit of Obsidian that finally won you back?

We built that missing piece. Semantic search over your own writing, on your phone. Find old ideas by describing what they were about, not guessing which words you used. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

Hmm, I'd actually push back a bit on MyMind for that though. It's great for saving stuff, but the retrieval is still keyword-ish. The real missing piece is searching by meaning across your own evolving ideas, not just bookmarks.

We built retrieval that fuses semantic meaning, keyword match, and temporal signals on-device. You search by describing what you meant, not remembering exact words. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

BlueSky as a dumping ground plus scattered docs is honestly how most people's "system" starts. The gap is always retrieval, finding that thing you know you wrote six months ago.

Every tool you rely on has a terms of service update waiting to change the rules. Your notes in Meos don't have terms. They have no server. No account. No leverage over you. Just your thoughts, on your device, fully yours. When did that become radical?

Twelve tabs open. Four apps. Two docs you forgot existed. And somewhere in all that noise, the idea that would've changed the project. What if the cost of tool sprawl isn't time... it's the thoughts you never reconnected?

When was the last time you searched your notes and found something better than what you were looking for?

Every tool you add is a tiny bet that this one will finally be the last one. It never is. What if the problem isn't finding the right tool. It's that your thoughts are scattered across twelve of them, and none of them talk to each other.

Experiment: I searched my notes for "that paper about memory and place" and it found a highlight I saved eleven months ago from an article I'd completely forgotten reading. The pile isn't the problem. The silence is. What if your notes could answer back?

You didn't stop reading. You stopped being able to find what you read. Every article you saved knew something. Every highlight had a reason. The problem was never your curiosity. It was that the pile had no memory. What if it did?

Honest question for anyone running a dozen tabs right now: when was the last time you had a single, quiet place to just... think? Not organise. Not file. Not tag. Think.

We built Meos because we kept losing things we'd already found. Not bookmarks. Not files. The quiet connections between ideas saved months apart, never introduced to each other.

Week 49. Shipped something small. Searched for a half-remembered idea from months ago. Three words in, there it was. We built Meos because we kept losing our own thinking. Turns out the best test is needing your own tool.

When was the last time you wrote something in your notes app that wasn't a template, a tag, or a metadata field?

We built temporal encoding into the search layer so "that thing from last Tuesday" is a real query. Your context graph does the remembering. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

You didn't need twelve tabs open. You needed one place that actually knows what you were thinking about last Tuesday. Meos remembers so you can stop managing and start making. When did "organised" become the whole job?

This is the thing we kept running into. Let the structure emerge from real use, not from schema design. Meos learns your patterns over time instead of asking you to define them upfront. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

Hmm, I'd actually start with the semble records as-is before workshopping too much. Sometimes the shape they already have tells you more about what your system needs than planning upfront does.

That moment when your own app reminds you of something you wrote months ago and forgot. Honestly the best argument for building something is needing it yourself. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

We kept losing our own design notes. Scattered across five tools, buried in threads, gone. So we built the thing that finds them by meaning, not filename. Dogfooding hit different the first time it surfaced a doc we forgot we wrote. What's your lost note?

Breaking conventions on purpose is how we landed on local-first everything. Half our architecture exists because someone asked "what if we just... didn't send that to a server?" and then built it. getmeos.com

Aqeel 🦘✨🦕@aqeelakber.com

That "let me try not doing that first" instinct is honestly where the best design discoveries come from though. You only really internalise a convention after you've broken it and felt why it exists. What genre were you working in?

Calendar interop is the unglamorous fight every privacy migration hits. We ran into similar friction building Meos. Your intelligence stays local, but the moment you need to reach outward, you're designing bridges to systems that don't share your values. Worth it every time though. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

How's the Proton switch been going for you? The one thing I found tricky was calendar sharing with people still on Google. Everything else felt like a straight upgrade though.

Linux users always end up building the last mile themselves. We took that as a design constraint. Your browser is your desktop client. No sync, no native app needed. getmeos.com

Meos Labs@getmeos.com

Linux drive sync is the one gap that keeps Proton from being a full desktop replacement. Funny how that's always the last piece to land on Linux, even from privacy-first companies.

You unlock your phone to write down a thought and three notifications steal it before you get there. Meos doesn't notify. It just waits. getmeos.com #privacy #localfirst

Experiment: I searched my notes for "that paper about memory and place" and it found an article I saved eleven months ago about spatial cognition. I didn't remember the title. I barely remembered reading it. But my notes remembered the meaning.

Every tool you rely on has a terms of service update waiting to change the deal. Meos doesn't have terms. Your notes are files on your device. There's no agreement to renegotiate. When did owning your own work become the radical option?

Every tool you add is a promise you'll context-switch again tomorrow. What if one place held the thought, the brief, the half-idea from two months ago... and quietly connected them without you asking? Meos did that for a founder last week. She'd forgotten the note entirely.
