To train user models / personal agents that best understand us, it helps to have access to all of our scattered digital footprint. For my first release in my PhD, I’m open-sourcing **Homecoming**, a desktop app that automatically aggregates all your personal context across all applications that you’ve accessed over your lifetime. It helps auto-request your data packages from over 2000 supported websites, and manages them locally in one place you can query, explore, and use for any downstream application. All your messages, emails, tiktok scrolling activity, goodreads, netflix, strava… even your 6th grade Wattpad account. You can even explore the features companies use to target ads at you. This project was super fun to work on as I realized there is so much data about me that I didn’t even know existed. It’s a nice feeling to gain sovereignty over my data. All data stays local, unless you choose otherwise. Lmk how it is! Blog: Link to download:
