What it does

Counsel is an AI CFO/COO for small businesses. Connect Square, Stripe, Shopify, Etsy, QuickBooks, your bank, or a CSV, and every answer arrives with a receipt: the method, sample size, and confidence behind each number, in plain English. When evidence is thin, it says "not conclusive" instead of guessing. Rehearse hires, price changes, and closures with Monte Carlo before deciding. Engines run on device, the server stores nothing, keys are read-only. The math is free forever.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS. Bank connections now live in Counsel Pro. Every other source — Square, Stripe, Shopify, Etsy, QuickBooks, and CSV files — stays free forever, along with all the math and every receipt. A fresh icon. Counsel may ask for a rating once, at most — right after it shows you the math. If you have feedback instead of stars, [email protected] reaches a human. Small refinements. Every number still carries its receipt. Small refinements and housekeeping. Every number still carries its receipt, and when the math is not conclusive, Counsel still says so.

Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
