Show HN: RUOK – Self-hosted personal OKR system with AI-powered analytics

4•lzl1234•1h ago

Hey HN - I built RUOK because I was running my personal OKR system in Obsidian + Dataview and hit its limits. Sync was painful, it got slower over time, and my family couldn't use it. So I built a dedicated app (with Claude).

RUOK is a self-hosted personal OKR system. You plan at four levels - yearly, monthly, weekly, daily - and everything rolls up. Built-in time tracking, custom daily metrics, and Fitbit integration (sleep, HR, steps via OAuth2).

The differentiator is the analytics engine. Write JavaScript in a sandboxed editor (QuickJS/WASM, Monaco, Plotly) against all your data, or describe what you want in English and let AI generate the query. Save queries as dashboard widgets or wire them into automatic key result scoring. Supports Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Ollama, OpenRouter - BYOK.

SQLite, runs on a Raspberry Pi, no cloud, no telemetry, multi-user.

Would love feedback, especially on what data sources you'd want to connect.

Nice project. The fact that you built it because your family could not use the Obsidian setup is interesting. Did you test the app with them before shipping it here? Curious if the people who are not you found the interface intuitive, or if there were spots where they got stuck. That gap between "makes sense to the builder" and "makes sense to a new user" is always wider than expected.

Thanks! For sure there were wrinkles when I first tested with them. For example writing the queries by hand was quite a lot of friction which prompted me to build the AI code generation.

I guess I do have the benefit of imbuing my family with the workflow, but I would imagine the gap to be even bigger with other new users who don't know me already
