Attyn
Bringing intelligence to your cursor
What it does
Attyn brings intelligence to the cursor inside the apps you already use. Rewrite selected text with Inline Assist, speak finished words with Realtime Dictation, ask about what is on screen with Screen Assist, and turn questions into visual explanations with Blackboard. Use Attyn Credits, bring a provider key, or run a supported local model. Attyn is bootstrapped and independent. Available for macOS today, with Windows on the way. Every new account starts with 500 launch credits.
Attyn is your personal AI for your computer. Write, speak, and take action across the applications you already use, without switching between AI tabs or copying and pasting.
Write, speak, and take action in any app without leaving your flow. You stop what you are doing, open an AI model, explain the context, wait for the answer, copy it, and paste it back into your work. Every new task starts the same round trip. At the email you are writing. The document you are reading. The sentence you are shaping. The screen where the question appeared. Stay inside the work. Attyn helps you write, speak, understand, and learn without sending every thought through another tab. Type or speak naturally. Select what you have written and tell Attyn what the moment needs. Attyn transforms the text in place. You review before sending. Attyn works at the cursor, which means it…from attyn.com

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
