What it does

WhatsApp ties your chats to a phone number you might lose. Chat Hoarding App decrypts your Android backup on your Mac, fully offline, and saves every message, voice note, photo, and receipt to a file you own forever. No cloud. No subscription. $99 once.

Pull your encrypted WhatsApp backup off Android, decrypt it on your Mac, and keep a single .tarc file that survives a lost phone, a deleted account, or a switched number. Fig. 01 · fragment of a 2018 family thread, opened on a Mac in 2026. Decrypted locally. A backup expires the moment the source account does. An archive doesn't. Chat Hoarding app reads the encrypted database directly: every field WhatsApp stored ends up in your .tarc . Paste your 64-digit WhatsApp key. The whole thing runs locally. The key never reaches our servers. Companion app + wireless share. USB drag-drop. Or fully automatic over a cable. Pick what fits the phone. Voice notes, photos, videos, calls, locations,…from chathoarding.app

  • 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…
