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

CaretApr 2026 · trycaret.com · ▲211We've been heads-down building this for a few weeks and want real feedback before we open it up. Caret runs in the background and completes your thoughts across every app: email, terminal, notes, wherever. Hit Tab and it finishes the sentence. We're onboarding the first users ourselves, one by one. So if you're interested, one of the three of us will get on a call with you to set you up and understand how you work. Looking for 20 people.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
