Nice demonstration of Fable and I like the game, can you give more details of how many tokens you consumed and how long it took you?
Thank you

Hi HN,I built a small iOS app that performs text rewriting and summarization entirely on-device using Apple’s Foundation Models (iOS 18+).Most AI writing tools rely on cloud APIs. That introduces API costs, privacy concerns, and infrastructure overhead. I wanted to explore what it looks like to build a useful AI writing utility with:- no backend
- no external APIs
- no server costs
- fully...
Great idea for tracking layoffs, the graphics are simple and clean.
It would be nice to filter by country and create monthly and quarterly reports to see trends.
The metrics section should be expanded.
This is a great idea and a useful one for avoiding having to monitor Claude's consumption.
I've often exceeded the limit mid-process. If I'm not mistaken, something like this already exists, but I like the graphics and how the information is displayed.
Congratulations!
Thanks for the reply, I thought so because I use it in paper form. A to-do list for the selected month, along with notes, is helpful.
I really like your Minimal Monthly Task Planner, is it also responsive?
Great idea, simple, I like the side notes; if possible, I'd add a list above or below.
Thanks, I'll use it and print it at home.

Hi HN,I built a small macOS menu bar utility after running into the same daily annoyance for years: bookmarks are still tied to the browser you're using.As a developer I often switch between Safari, Chrome, Arc, Brave and Edge depending on testing, debugging extensions, or isolating workflows. Every browser keeps its own independent bookmark list, and syncing them (or importing/exporting) never...

Hi HN,I’ve been experimenting with Apple’s new on-device Foundation Models (iOS 18 / macOS Sequoia) and built a small tool around them: AppReview AI, a Mac + iPad app to analyze App Store reviews privately and offline.The motivation was simple: as an indie developer, reading hundreds of reviews from competitor apps was slow, noisy, and hard to extract signal from. Existing tools rely on cloud...
The confusion arises because it displays the timer in minutes but sets it in seconds. Thanks
Hi,
Congratulations on mytimers.app.
The graphics are too basic, but they need some work. Is it possible to create a timer other than 1 minute? I don't understand how.
Otherwise, keep it the same.
Thanks
I tried the app because I'd like to improve my German.
The UI is well-designed, but it would be nice to have prompts like Duolingo, as this is a bit too difficult.
I'll test it more, congratulations.
Thank you so much for this tool, it was just what was missing for Blazor development.
I can finally avoid having to include Console.WriteLine everywhere.
Do you have any other features in mind?
Thanks

Hi HN,TimeCalc is a small utility I’ve been maintaining for years. I originally built it to help pilots log and calculate flight hours without the hassle of spreadsheets or clunky online tools.Over time, it evolved into a simple and accurate time calculator that lets you add, subtract, and compare hours, minutes, and seconds — or even calculate the exact difference between two dates.This new...
Hi, the website is well-designed. What makes it different/special from other existing ones?
You've really had a great idea, and maybe you can save lives with this. Do you process the images yourself? Do you pass them to some AI? How does it work for privacy? Do you delete them afterwards? Thanks and congratulations.

Hi HN!I'm a developer who got tired of jumping between tabs just to run everyday tasks — decoding Base64, converting timestamps, generating UUIDs, etc.So I built a small macOS menu bar app called CodeSwissKnife Bar. It gives you quick access to essential dev tools, all running 100% offline.No accounts, no cloud, no tracking — just useful utilities where you need them.Right now it includes:

Hi, I'm interested in the tool but I get this error, 502 Bad Gateway.
Is this really necessary? It makes no sense.
Thanks for the comment, I built the app because I needed it myself. My wife and I often forgot what we had at home, bought duplicates, or let food expire. We still use it today mainly as a shared shopping list and to track key items it’s simple but works for us.

Hi HN,iPantry is a simple app I built to solve a recurring problem in my home: forgetting what we already had in the pantry or fridge, buying duplicates, and letting food expire.With a busy schedule and a shared household, it became easy to lose track of what was available, especially when grocery shopping was split among family members. We'd end up with multiple milk cartons or expired pasta...
Congrats for Petrichor, really impressive work! I love the clean, modern UI. I’m currently using Swinsian (still solid in many ways), but Petrichor feels like a breath of fresh air, especially for those of us who still care about local libraries.
I truly hope you’ll bring this to iOS.
Thanks
If I go ahead and create a post I get "Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Applications/PRSS Site Creator.app/Contents/Resources/static_themes/slate/manifest.json'"
Kudos to PRSS Site Creator, I like the idea and I installed it on my mac. As soon as the app starts I get this error, Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/Applications/PRSS Site Creator.app/Contents/Resources/static_themes' how can I fix it? thanks
hello compliments for moocup, your screenshot generator is convenient, fast and really easy to use for example for X o bsky. Some tips, currently there are only a few colors for the borders, I would also like to have the possibility of a movement or transaction and export to gif. what do you think would be possible? thanks
Hi, congrats for Just Send Record!
I love the idea of turning voice recordings into shareable visual content.
it’s really creative. It would be nice to see a few examples right on the homepage, just to better understand what the final result looks like.
Before I buy it I would like to try it, do you have a trial version?
Excited to see where this goes!
Hi, congrats for workout.cool I really like that it lets you build workout plans and track progress, super useful for my projects.
It would be great if it also had a way to sync with wearables or import data from fitness trackers in the future. Keep it up!
Thanks
hello, congratulations for clipjs, it's a nice idea but the performances are not good. there is no loading indicator and for a 10 mega file you have to wait a long time. Can I export the projects but also import? thanks
Congratulations for your SVG editor, I really like the idea. Clean graphics, easy to use. Would it be possible to export the created files also in PDF format? It would be really useful as an editor. Thanks and keep it up
Thank you for breezepdf, it is a beautiful idea. I am using it to create simple documents, do you foresee any new features? Like a table? That would be perfect.
