Drawers – macOS has apps and files, but no projects
Hi HN, Wanted to share Drawers, an app my friend Gonzalo and I (Kieran) have been working on to combat distraction and get people in the flow state. Drawers creates project-scoped workspaces on your Mac, complete with project-specific docks that can contain chats, files, and websites, in addition to apps. We made Drawers because we were concerned about how distracted we were getting when trying to work on the computer. We believe that many productivity solutions (blocklists, pomodoro) treat distraction as a willpower problem, when it is really a structural problem with modern UIs. Projects…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, Wanted to share Drawers, an app my friend Gonzalo and I (Kieran) have been working on to combat distraction and get people in the flow state. Drawers creates project-scoped workspaces on your Mac, complete with project-specific docks that can contain chats, files, and websites, in addition to apps. We made Drawers because we were concerned about how distracted we were getting when trying to work on the computer. We believe that many productivity solutions (blocklists, pomodoro) treat distraction as a willpower problem, when it is really a structural problem with modern UIs. Projects live across multiple apps, and each app is used for multiple projects. Getting to work requires collecting a specific set of resources across multiple applications, and staying focused requires ignoring all the noise from other projects within shared applications. Drawers addresses this by rearranging the UI around projects. Each project gets its own Drawer, with a project-specific dock containing only the resources for that project. Start working on a project and distractions from other projects will be less accessible, while the resources for the current project are already laid out for you. Drawers is deliberately opinionated, and we are curious to see if this vision resonates with people. Would love to hear feedback if you try it out!

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…
