Muky▲200Hi, I've developed an iOS app called Muky (https://muky.app/) that allows parents to create and manage music playlists for their children. It provides a focused, distraction-free audio experience for kids. I created this app because my 4-year-old daughter loves music, but existing solutions like Tonies or cassettes didn't meet our needs. Using an iPhone or iPad directly with Apple Music wasn't ideal either. Muky aims to solve these issues under the motto "Music for the Kids". Here some key features: * Dedicated music player for children * Parent-controlled playlists *…

Hey HN! I wanted to share this OSS project I've been working on. It's called Yap and its a small menu-bar app for macOS that does voice to text for any input. You'll set a hotkey, press it, talk, press it again, and the text gets pasted into whatever field you were in. Everything runs locally and never leaves your computer. Fully OSS and MIT licensed. With macOS 26, Apple recently added two new APIs, SpeechAnalyzer and SpeechTranscriber, that do streaming on-device speech to text using models the OS ships and manages. So the app ships no model of its own and loads nothing before the first…

Testflight Link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/8YzpXxjz I wanted to be able to practice Spanish vocab while on my commute to work so I created YapCards.

You choose a list to practice, the app reads the prompt out loud (e.g. "What charge does a proton have?"), & you respond by voice. YapCards uses AI to evaluate your response & provide feedback. Some key features: Voice-only practice (no need to look at your screen) AI evaluation & feedback Practice publicly…

Hi HN! I built Oh Yah! to help my sons (age 7 and 10) stick to daily routines without constant reminders. The core idea: minimal distractions during tasks by locking navigation when a timer is running, plus optional photo-based task completion for accountability Built with React Native/Expo and Firebase. The trickiest part was designing the UX to be simple enough for kids with minimal distractions while giving parents enough control – ended up with a task-definition system that lets parents create weekly schedules with daily toggles instead of duplicating tasks across days It's on the…
