Corenous AI

What it does

Every AI memory tool wants an account, a subscription, or your data on their server. Corenous wants nothing. Runs entirely on your Mac. Captures your clipboard, windows, and screen via OCR. A local LLM on your GPU generates summaries and answers your questions. Nothing ever leaves your machine. Press a hotkey. Ask it anything. It finds it. No cloud. No account. Free forever.

Your Mac never forgets. And it never tells. Privacy-first local memory AI for macOS. - utkarshapex/corenous

Corenous captures your clipboard, windows, and screen in real-time — embeds everything locally with sentence-transformers, compresses vectors with a custom engine (TurboQuant), and lets you search, ask, and rediscover anything you've ever seen. No cloud. No account. Nothing leaves your machine. git clone https://github.com/priyadarshiutkarsh/corenous.git cd corenous python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -e . corenous-ai start Open the overlay: Option + Command + Shift + Space Requirements: macOS 14+, Python 3.11+, Xcode Command Line Tools ( xcode-select --install ) Place the local model — a 4-bit Qwen2.5-VL 3B (~3 GB, MLX) — in ~/.corenous/models/qwen2.5-vl-3b…from github.com

  Core – open source memory graph for LLMs – shareable, user owned2025 · github.com · ▲112

  I keep running in the same problem of each AI app “remembers” me in its own silo. ChatGPT knows my project details, Cursor forgets them, Claude starts from zero… so I end up re-explaining myself dozens of times a day across these apps. The deeper problem 1. Not portable – context is vendor-locked; nothing travels across tools. 2. Not relational – most memory systems store only the latest fact (“sticky notes”) with no history or provenance. 3. Not yours – your AI memory is sensitive first-party data, yet you have no control over where it lives or how it’s queried. Demo video:…

  Super excited to launch our new app Local today. What we’ve learned at Base Compute over the last months is that running AI directly on your laptop or workstation gives you maximum privacy and it’s free, but it’s also a massive headache to configure. So we’ve decided what matters is making the experience completely frictionless for users. Local analyses the hardware of your laptop, optimises the AI for it, and recommends the best models for your specific device. It let’s you do what you’re doing with cloud AI already, just for free and on your own machine: Chatting with PDF’s, Recording and…

  Hey HN, I built Friendware because I wanted autocomplete that works everywhere on my Mac, not just in code editors. In any text field it can draft replies, rewrite text, and write prompts for AI tools; it uses on-screen context to adjust based on what you’re doing. My goal was making it feel native and not require workflow changes, so it stays accessible across apps by living in the notch. Currently working on better voice learning and a memory system, would love feedback on what to prioritize!

  AI that actually controls your Windows/Mac desktop - clicks, types, automates workflows across any application. Native OS integration, not cloud APIs. Built this because I was tired of AI that could only chat. Free tier (Gemini) + paid tier (Claude) for reliable automation. The AI can automate complex workflows, manage files/emails, control browsers and native apps. Just launched 2 weeks ago. What workflows would you want automated?

  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…
