Show HN: I built a tiny daemon that reminds me what matters

I didn’t want another app, notification, or dashboard. I wanted a subtle daily reminder through something I already look at all the time — my desktop.

So I built a small local-first daemon that updates the wallpaper once a day with a message aligned to my goals.

Would love feedback.

Your site says "Runs locally. No accounts. No tracking. Easy to remove." but the code (in src/providers) has backends to remotely-hosted LLMs. So is it really local?
