Tide focus timer
What it does
DRIFT is a focus timer with no countdown — time falls like a tide across your screen, and you read it at a glance. No subscription, ever. Pick 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes, or set a custom length up to 12 hours. Start a session, put the phone down, and watch the water fall. No digits unless you tap for them — just the level, dropping toward zero. While a session runs, DRIFT blocks the apps, categories, and websites you choose, using Apple's Screen Time.

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.
