If you've ever struggled to import photos from your iPhone, this is for you. Transferring photos and videos from an iPhone to a non-Apple device is always a headache. Missing folders, HEIC files that don't open properly, tons of duplicates, and way too many manual steps. I built a small desktop app using Electron that makes the whole process much easier. It gives you a clean and friendly GUI on top of the usual command-line tools. You can import your photos and videos, clean up unwanted stuff, remove duplicates, and convert everything to more usable formats all in one place without the usual frustration. Best part? It uses no network, no cloud storage, nothing. Just your iPhone, the USB…from github.com

  Linux and iPhone Continuity (iMessage / SMS)Aug 2026 · github.com · ▲10

  After switching to 100% Linux a couple of years ago there was basically only one thing I missed about macOS and that was what Apple calls "Continuity". It's where you get texts, notifications, clipboard sync, file transfer (to/from) the iPhone from the Mac desktop. Especially that thing where OTP codes via text autofilled into the browser form I was waiting on. It took about 4 months of work: - reverse-engineering Apple/iOS Bluetooth behavior - MAP / OBEX - Bluetooth LE + Wi-Fi working together - iMessage through the iPhone's own cellular/iMessage stack - iOS app, Linux…

  Hey HN, I built a tiny offline tool to help back up iPhone/iPad photos and videos to PC or Mac via USB. No iCloud, no accounts, no cloud storage — just straight device-to-device transfer. Originally made it for someone close to me who had tens of thousands of photos but didn't want to deal with subscriptions or cloud storage. Thought it might be useful for others too, so putting it out there. It keeps Live Photos, 4K videos, RAW files, and transfers quickly without compression. Works on both Windows and macOS.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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…
