Caffinated

What it does

Click the tray. Pick 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2, or 5 hours, or indefinite. caffinated holds a native IOKit power assertion until the timer expires, then releases it. Optional display-sleep toggle. Resumes after reboot. macOS 11 or later. Free.

Keep your Mac awake from the menu bar.

Caffeinated is a single-purpose menu-bar utility that keeps macOS from sleeping, using IOKit power assertions directly. Pick a timer from fifteen minutes to five hours, run indefinitely, and optionally hold the display awake too. No dock icon, no window noise, just a coffee-cup glyph that fills in when your Mac is held awake and empties out the moment sleep is allowed again. Lives in the macOS menu bar with no dock icon and no background window. Keep awake for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2, or 5 hours, or indefinitely. Uses the IOKit power-management APIs directly, not a shell-out to caffeinate. Optionally hold the display awake in addition to preventing system idle sleep. One-click toggle…from coretools.app

  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…
