What it does
Drift plays a slow stream of neutral words so you can picture each one for a moment and let go of the 2am spiral. Built around cognitive shuffling. iOS and Android.
Can't stop thinking at bedtime? Racing thoughts keeping you awake? Shuffli uses cognitive shuffling to break the mental loop naturally. Picture unrelated words—lighthouse, hammock, pineapple—so anxious thoughts can't chain together. Fall asleep fast without effort. Free for iOS & Android.
One word. Then another. Your mind pictures it. The loop breaks. You fall asleep. Shuffli is built on Serial Diverse Imagining—a sleep technique researchers at Simon Fraser University tested with 154 students and presented at SLEEP 2016. How it works → That loop of thoughts at midnight — replaying conversations, running through tomorrow's list, worrying about nothing in particular — isn't a disorder. It's your brain doing exactly what it was built to do. The problem isn't that your brain is broken. It's that nothing has told it to stop. None of them are related. None of them lead anywhere. That's not a bug — it's the whole mechanism. Your brain can't build a worry spiral out of disconnected…from cognitiveshuffle.app

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…
