Breaks lives quietly in your menu bar. It tracks focus, keeps streaks, and reflects on your week with on-device AI. No servers, no account, no analytics. Just you and your attention. A small set of ideas, executed with care. None of them shout, all of them compound into a workday that feels less interrupted. A weekly summary of where your focus went, plus a chat that answers questions about your journal. Apple Foundation Models, all local. No API keys, no servers. No Dock clutter, no extra window. A small icon, a quiet countdown, and a popover when you need it. Pick a focus, label each block, and mark it good, messy, or skipped.

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…

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…
