Show HN: Personal Agent Proxy (Open Source)

https://github.com/personalagentproxy/proxy

Every (personal) agent (like Muse, Instinct, Grokbot, Poke) asks you to connect your email, calendar, and tools again. Permissions are intransparent and every provider ends up building the same integrations.We think there needs to be an independent tool that holds all connections to third party companies.That way you can keep auth separate, audit what an agent does, set fine-grained permissions...

Great to hear!
Sounds amazing! Let us know if there are any issues or what we can do better!
Thank you! We have a Discord server https://discord.com/invite/f2fv7YxuR2 - but also there is a feedback modal in app that you can use!
Hey! We pushed a fix for this. Let us know how it goes!
Re:Coding Agents and Use Cases on Friday February 06, 2026 @08:03PM (#46920227)
Wouldn’t it make a lot of sense to have a single subscription that gives access to all coding agents, with the ability to switch between them based on preference or task? Constantly juggling tools and subscriptions is pretty disruptive.

Emdash is inducing CC, Codex, etc. natively. Therefore users are getting the raw version of each agent.

Launching Emdash— an OS UI for running multiple CLI agents in parallel. Powered by Git worktrees.It's possible to pass Linear / Jira / Github Issues directly to coding agents (Emdash supports Codex, Claude Code, Amp, Auggie, Charm, Cursor, Droid, Gemini, CoPilot, Goose, OpenCode, and Qwen.Testing changes (esp. UI changes) is one of the biggest bottlenecks in agentic coding. There's a feature in...

Show HN: OS layer for running multiple Codex agents in parallel

https://github.com/generalaction/emdash

We built an open source layer to orchestrate multiple Codex agents in parallel. Found myself and some friends running Codex agents across multiple terminals. Thats why me and a friend built emdash. Each agent gets its own isolated workspace, making it easy to see who’s working, who’s stuck, and what’s changed.

I would be super interested in what you think about Cronus hq.com I built it for myself because I was tired of rigid rule based time tracking applications.

Show HN: Cronus – Context-aware AI time tracker for macOS

https://cronushq.com/

Hi HN,We built Cronus, a context-aware time tracker for macOS that uses LLMs to differentiate productive tasks from distractions—even on sites like YouTube or LinkedIn.Existing apps frustrated us because they either strictly blocked useful sites or required constant manual tracking. Cronus understands context automatically: - Accurately labels productive vs. distracted time (e.g., coding...

thank you man
Re:Show HN: Apple Notes and Ollama on Wednesday March 05, 2025 @02:15AM (#43263801)
Thank you - would be happy about your feedback once you had the time to test it.

Regarding long term plans: I think there are some interesting opportunities in adding integrations for other apps like Obsidian for example. But also open for suggestions / thoughts you might have.

working on it rn
Re:Show HN: A Local Apple Notes LLM Chat Using Ollama on Monday March 03, 2025 @01:45PM (#43245237)
good point
Re:Show HN: A Local Apple Notes LLM Chat Using Ollama on Monday March 03, 2025 @12:39PM (#43244420)
Notechat is a desktop app that lets you chat with your Apple Notes running an LLM locally on your machine.

Notechat accesses Apple Notes through macOS's native AppleScript automation and uses AppleScript commands to safely read note contents and metadata directly from the Apple Notes app - this requires permission from the user through macOS security prompts.

All processing happens locally using Ollama and the notes never leave the users device.

Also working on a version that interacts with Gemini in cloud mode for better performance (but less privacy).

hahah love it

How often do you write? Do you have something like a routine around it?
thats so cool
Sounds great! Excited to try it out.
Never worked with functions so far, but excited to see where this is going. How does your work relate to OpenAI/Langchain functions then?
This is really cool. Recently found Foundry on Discord, how is this different?
