What it does
Carapace is a personal AI agent that lives on YOUR Mac, Pi, or Linux box — not someone else's cloud. iPhone is the input. Mac is the brain. Bring your own LLM (Gemini free tier works). Tailscale-secured. Open install script. No subscription, ever.
CARAPACE is the AI agent control app: stop babysitting terminals and command Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw and Hermes from your phone. Finished agents stand in line, report out loud, and take your voice as their next orders — on machines you own, with no relay in between.
Help shape CARAPACE. First 100 glasses owners get hands-free wearables mode. Your agents can work for an hour without you — then sit silent until you walk back to a desk. CARAPACE flips it: finished agents stand in line to talk to you. They report out loud wherever your phone is, and your spoken answer sends them straight back to work. iPhone · chat, push-to-talk voice and vision free forever · Runtime Control (roster · queue · hands-free) $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr , 7‑day trial Your agents live in terminals. Vision hands them your eyes. Open the camera and the thing you're looking at — the broken screen, the full fridge, the street you're standing on — becomes…from carapace.info

ClawSimpleFeb 2026 · clawsimple.com · ▲113Hi HN, I’ve been following the OpenClaw project and noticed frictions for non-expert users: most discussions and docs are too nerdy... Installing OpenClaw costs lots of brain cells. Uninstalling costs even more! Besides, security/privacy risks exist for non-technical users. So I built ClawSimple, a tool that make deploy and run your own OpenClaw-based assistant easier. With ClawSimple you can: - Spin up one or multiple OpenClaw robots in a few minutes; - Focus on using the assistant instead of wrestling with deployment details. For people who don’t want to pay for a managed service, I…

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…
