Show HN: On-Device (Offline) AI SDK for iOS (LLMs, Vision and Stable Diffusion)
Hi HN, I’m building Kuzco, a Swift SDK for running AI models locally on Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro). The goal is to make “offline + private AI” feel like a normal dependency you can drop into a SwiftUI/UIKit app, without standing up servers or paying per-token API fees. What it does - Text generation with token streaming (chat style UX) - Vision AI (analyze images locally) -...

Ask HN: How to Advertise Apps to iOS Users?
I am the founder of an app called Barrier - Social Lock (shameless plug: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/barrier-social-lock/id6448244443), designed to help manage and reduce screen time on social media and other addictive apps.

The deal is simple: apps get locked and then re-locked after 10 blissful minutes of use.Now, when it’s time to...
Note: there is an Apple specific bug that has yet to be fixed which causes notifications to still be read to the user if they are wearing earbuds.

Seeking Feedback and Input for a New AR/VR Presentation Platform
Hey Y'all!I'm thrilled to share with you that I'm building a new AR/VR presentation platform. This platform will allow users to present their ideas using 3D objects viewable with iPhones and the rumored Apple headset. As an engineer and product designer myself, I understand how difficult it can be to convey ideas in a clear and concise way. With this platform, I want to help users present their...
Help I gained 1200 users and want valuable feedback
Hey all,So I have an investing app that gained 1200+ users in the span of the last few weeks due to some TikTok videos. As the creator of the app, I love it and think it is really useful; however, I have been receiving mixed feedback.About 65% of new reviews are 5-stars while the rest are 2-stars or 1-star. I want this app to actually be useful for people. What is the best way to get feedback...
However, it's hard to make money, if you don't already have money. Also I only buy these options when the AI has a confidence above 75% for these stocks which doesn't happen often!
My goal is to make the AI more and more accurate and offer it as a free tool for everyone, but I have to start somewhere!
I think the app is pretty cool, but there is so much I can improve on. I would love if people would check it out and tell me what they think can be improved!
