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. Initially created as a personal solution to combat my own social media addiction, the app uses Apple's Screen Time API to regulate usage effectively. Despite having a...

Note: this is a repost:( I didn't get any interaction on my previous post, so I am trying one last time to hopefully get some feedback!

Show HN: Using ads to mitigate my social media addiction (Barrier)

Hi HN, I’ve developed an iOS app called Barrier - Social Lock, which is all about managing and reducing screen time on social media and other addictive apps. I built this as a personal crusade against my own social media overuse, using Apple's Screen Time API to keep apps in check. The deal is simple: apps get locked and then re-locked after 10 blissful minutes of use.Now, when it’s time to...

It will still fetch messages; however, you will not be notified (since it also blocks these too).

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...

Oh man, I'm sorry about that! I am looking through the code right now to try and figure out what could be causing the issue. The next update will include more descriptive error messages. I also just want to make sure that when you are trying to create your account, are you seeing a: username, email, and password text field?
Your account should be premium now!
Hmm... that's strange. I think it is a generic error message (I'm working on making that a bit better), try using a different username and see if that works!
Haha good question! I have actually been using it to invest, and have made a decent amount of money using the AI to buy options in companies like Google and Amazon where the AI is pretty accurate.

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 created an investing app on the iOS App Store called Hubble (Easier to find if you search "Hubble Investing"). As a part of the app I created a couple AI's that can predict some stocks direction with >70% accuracy (Google and Amazon stocks are two of the best).

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!

If you want a free premium account, comment the email you use to sign up and I will upgrade your account!

This is honestly such a cool idea. Basically like a developers version of linktree! Are you planning on adding badges?

Buy the dip, I think it’s definitely going up. Their stock values the company at $32 million only right now!
