I know most of the projects on this site are about physical and mental tracking. Well, I have that too but it is literally 1/27th of what I track. Check out http://tahl.io, which is my life automation system, on a desktop or mobile. Indeed, one of the 27 “cards” is my physical, mental, and spiritual self current state. It’s been a work-in-progress for years. Comments or questions welcome.

Looks very interesting!
How much is manual and how much is automated tracking?
How many data sources do you have?
Well, very little is manually captured. Very little. Like blood pressure, valuable of my stock account, etc. There is actually dialog near the bottom for setting those values manually. In terms of LifeState (middle section) which is about things currently, it is around 90 values which are continuously calculated. These values are usually assessed a “valence” (green, yellow, red, etc) with non-green things reported proactively. An AI “Beatrice” reports on my life state. Make sure to read the help and/or listen to the 2 AIs talk about my website. It’s fun!
This is fantastic, exactly what I’m just beginning to try and do.
Are you preparing to launch this as a service (I imagine privacy concerns would be pretty difficult to manage), or to release the code to allow others to replicate this?
Is this locally hosted?
Thanks. No not releasing as a service or releasing the code.
The webpage you see has been a work in progress for a few years along with the rest of the “stack”. There is a lot of code for sure. Yes it is locally hosted. Basically:
-Automation PC which runs pretty much everything. 4 software servers.
-Home automation “appliance”
-Two NAS: one for use, one for backup BUT 3rd copy is copied to the cloud
-My desktop computer which runs 3 software servers
This is exactly what I want for myself, and ive just started vibe coding the last 6 months to start this journey. Do you have any resistance to me trying to reverse engineer the project, or using it heavily as inspiration? After reading your docs on there, Im doubting you would mind as its so explanatory? All for my own private use.
Have you used any projects for inspiration or guidance?
In terms of getting inspiration, sure. Some of the terms, however, are trademarked (see notice at bottom of page). Also, I’m sure you’d want to change the colors and font to distinguish it. It is mostly hand-made but I do use the “w3.css” framework (vs. React or Angular), so that it works well on mobile and desktop, and lot of the newer code is AI-generated. The color scheme is actually from Facebook Research. Other than that, it’s all from my head. Once of things you might have noticed is that there are a lot of “three”: three sections, three rows per section, three cards per row, (usually) three sections per card. You can adopt that or not.
Are you sure you won’t consider releasing more information on this so others can replicate?
It’s seriously the perfect life tracker, nothing out there even comes close - even numerous paid services put together don’t capture a fraction of it and they’re also putting your most intimate data at risk while yours is self-contained.
I’m only a relative beginner when it comes to coding but I’d love a more in-depth breakdown of how the stacks are all structured and organised & what systems you use for all of it so I know what to focus on to cobble together a poor imitation. The fact that you’ve got it all locally hosted is the most beautiful part of it.
yes, I have a lot invested in Liam. But to document it would be an enormous task. There are 100s of thousands of lines of code in multiple languages, gigabytes of data, etc. If QS still had conferences, I’d love to present it, including some of the internals, but just for a couple of people (no offense!) not worth it really! With that said, I did write up a “monograph” way back in 2017 about the last version of the system. I’ve attached that. Some of the principles have not changed.
