Track a keyword, brand, or product across Hacker News, Reddit, Mastodon, Bluesky, Stack Overflow, RSS, X, and YouTube. Get sentiment and themes in a clean local dashboard. No Harken account, telemetry, or per-seat pricing — the database stays on your machine. --- Why Harken Brand-monitoring tools like Brand24 and Mention are capable — and closed, cloud-only, and now priced in the hundreds of dollars per month . They ingest everything you track into their servers. For indie founders, OSS maintainers, and privacy-conscious teams, that's often backwards. Harken does the core job those tools do — \"what are people saying about X, and is it good or bad?\" — as a small open-source program you run yourself: - 🏠 Self-hosted & local-first. One SQLite file on your machine. No Harken telemetry or account required. - 🔓 Open source (MIT). Read it, fork it, extend it. No lock-in. - 🆓 Free, and zero-config. harken demo works on a clean clone with no API key and no signup . - 🧩 LLM-agnostic. Sentiment and themes work with no model at all (transparent local analysis). Want richer theme labels? Plug in Anthropic, OpenAI, or a fully-local Ollama — your choice, swappable in one env var. - 🌐 Free sources first. Hacker News and Bluesky are the no-credential defaults; Stack Overflow is another no-key option, while Reddit, Mastodon, RSS, X, and YouTube are available when configured.
