Breakly

A smart break reminder for healthier workdays

What it does

Breakly is a lightweight, privacy-first desktop application for Windows and macOS that helps you build healthier work habits without interrupting your flow. Set custom breaks, stay hydrated, and rest your eyes.

Breakly gently reminds you to step away from your screen, drink some water, move your body, and rest your eyes — so you can come back feeling better. When you're deep in work, it's easy to forget the basics — drinking water, moving around, changing your posture, or simply looking away from the screen. Breakly makes those moments impossible to forget. Create a healthier work rhythm without changing the way you work. Gentle reminders to grab a glass of water before you get lost in your work. Step away from the screen and give your eyes a moment to reset. Choose when breaks happen, how long they last, and which days they're active. Breakly quietly runs in the background until it's time for you…from breakly.microprotools.com

    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…

  • 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.
