EchoPal – I dare you to find a faster way to manage tasks
Hey HN! I built EchoPal out of sheer frustration with my ADHD-addled brain constantly forgetting tasks. After years of struggling with clunky todo apps, I created a voice-driven, AI-powered solution that actually understands how my scattered thoughts work. Here's my challenge to you: I dare you to find a faster way to jot down and manage your tasks. Seriously, try it. The magic of EchoPal is its ability to capture and organize tasks through natural speech. Just talk, and watch the AI handle the rest - creating tasks, setting reminders, and even prepping emails or Slack messages mentioned in…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN! I built EchoPal out of sheer frustration with my ADHD-addled brain constantly forgetting tasks. After years of struggling with clunky todo apps, I created a voice-driven, AI-powered solution that actually understands how my scattered thoughts work. Here's my challenge to you: I dare you to find a faster way to jot down and manage your tasks. Seriously, try it. The magic of EchoPal is its ability to capture and organize tasks through natural speech. Just talk, and watch the AI handle the rest - creating tasks, setting reminders, and even prepping emails or Slack messages mentioned in your todos. Say "Email the report to Sarah and Slack the team about progress," and boom - tasks created, reminders set, email and Slack drafts ready. No typing, no app-switching, no forgetting. I use EchoPal every day now, and it has really help me clear my mind. It has really improved my productivity as I no longer have to spend extra effort to manually structure my day. It's the app I always dreamed of but never thought could exist. There's a free trial if you want to take on my challenge. If you find a better, faster way to manage tasks, especially for ADHD brains, I'll eat my hat (it's a nice hat, so I'm pretty confident).

- IMI made a tool that uses AI to turn my ADHD brain into a super power2025 · scatternote.com · ▲8
I really struggle to keep my notes organised, and often can't make any sense of hand written notes after meetings. I did some experiments with Claude and ChatGPT where I blast random thoughts at them during a meeting or brainstorming session and then have them output a nice document that pulls it all together at the end. It worked incredibly well but it was a bit cumbersome to keep sending messages to the chat and telling the ai each time what to do. So I took the idea and built a tool, it makes it easy to throw random notes and voice recordings (images and document support on the way) and…

Hi HN! First time posting. I created a tool for my Autistic son who is in high school junior battling severe ADHD symptoms. His difficulties include; 1. Time blindness 2. Lack of executive functioning skills 3. Task initiation issues These three were severely affecting his grades. We had a consultation with a Developmental Psychologist who prescribed Concerta that improves his ability to focus in class. In addition he also has the boilerplate ADHD accommodations(2X time on tests and quiet place to take the test). These collectively improved his test taking abilities. But, when it came to his…
- ETEchologue – the private AI voice journal I built for myselfJul 2026 · echologue.com · ▲29
I have tried journaling many times but nothing stuck. So I decided to make my own app for myself with these features: * Voice first * Private first * AI chat * Automatic tagging, meaning extraction, and semantic retrieval using embeddings stored locally * Export to LLM the AI angle is especially interesting for me. It allows me to ask questions like: * "remind me highlights and crazy nights in the last 3 months" * "How was I feeling during my trip in Spain and how big of a problem was my breakup" * "How would you judge my overall interactions with Marc after I told him about my problems" the…

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.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
