What it does
AwakeMode is a focused browser utility for keeping your computer awake. Start an indefinite wake session or set a timer for long downloads, dashboards, screen sharing, live workflows, and deep work. It runs in-browser with no account and no install required. Under the hood, AwakeMode is built to be agent-friendly: stable UI selectors, explicit app state, and machine-readable metadata make it easier for AI agents, browser automation, and QA tools to understand and operate the app reliably.
Browser-first wake control for Mac and Windows with timer sessions, profiles, and cross-page mini controls.

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…
