Dockling

Turn your pet photo into a pixel pet that lives in your dock

What it does

Upload a photo of your pet, partner, or anyone. Dockling turns it into a pixel pet that lives in your Mac dock, menu bar, or notch. It walks across your screen, naps when you're idle, and reacts when you click. Built-in Pomodoro with focus streaks, quick note taker, and a daily heatmap so it doubles as a tiny productivity sidekick. 25+ pre-made packs (cats, dogs, pandas, frogs, axolotls) or generate your own. $2.99 once. No subscription, no account, all local.

    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…
