AURIAL
Your mood, understood.
What it does
Aurial is the anti-bloat, privacy-first mood journal. Most apps are data-mining traps requiring accounts and cloud sync. Aurial is 100% offline with zero onboarding friction—no email, no tracking. While others process thoughts on their servers, Aurial keeps everything in an encrypted local database. We utilize AI for deep emotional pattern recognition without your data ever leaving your device. It’s a secure vault for your mind, built for the conscious minimalist.

Hey HN! I recently released baseline, a journaling and mood tracking app for iOS, Android, and web. If you've been looking for a better journal, or just want to work on your mental health, you should check it out! It includes: - Simple and fast journaling — just open the app and start typing. - Visualizations to help you understand your progress over time. - Screeners to help you better understand what you might be struggling with. - Customizable notifications to help you build journaling into your daily routine. - Strong privacy — personal data is encrypted with user-specific keys that I…

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…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
