Hey all 
. I’ve been wanting to build this for a little while now, and I finally did! Below is from the readme on GitHub (chrisdothtml/daily-mantra); you can see the full details there.
Would love to get any feedback or to hear people’s thoughts!
daily-mantra
Send yourself daily guiding reminders generated from your own notes
Why?
I tend to take notes during my therapy sessions, usually in a loose, unstructured format, taking note of things I want to remember moving forward or change about my behavior.
The problem is that I don’t often go back and look through all my past notes to remind myself of the insights I gained.
So one day I had a random idea to:
-
Use an LLM to generate self-contained “mantras” from my raw, unstructured notes
-
Send my phone a daily notification with one of the randomly-chosen mantras
That’s it, that’s the whole thing.
How?
Instead of building my own mobile app or PWA to serve these notifications, I wanted to utilize Home Assistant, which I already use, and already has the ability to automate sending custom notifications.
This makes the architecture pretty simple:
Mantra Service
-
Runs inside my network (always accessible by HASS, and stays private)
-
Fetches and aggregates my notes, passes them through an LLM to generate and add any new mantras to the list (if the notes content has changed)
Home Assistant Automation
-
Every day at 9am, hit the
/random-mantraendpoint of the service to get the mantra of the day -
Send it as a push notification to my phone
