Dhyan Pay

Budget your UPI spending — without linking your bank

What it does

Scan any UPI QR, pick a spending wallet, and see the warning if you're over budget - then pay in your own UPI app with your own PIN. No bank linking, no SMS reading, no analytics companies. A notebook for your spending, made in India.

A budgeting layer on top of GPay, PhonePe and Paytm. Set a limit per wallet, see where you stand before you pay, then pay where you always did. Never touches your money.

Dhyan Pay puts one second between you and GPay — long enough to see what's left before it leaves. You still pay where you always pay. the actual payment happens in GPay, PhonePe, Paytm or CRED, under your own PIN. that handoff is why it can't touch your money — and why no banking licence applies. Android will offer to add it to your home screen. If it doesn't, use the browser menu and tap Install app . It's built for a phone — open this page on your Android phone or iPhone. Or have a look around from here. No. It never holds or moves money, and it can't — every payment happens inside GPay, PhonePe, Paytm or CRED. Dhyan Pay opens them with the amount filled in, and waits. Because it can't…from dhyanpay.in

    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…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
