FloatNote

What it does

Native macOS app (not Electron) — lightweight, fast, and truly minimal. FloatNote is a lightweight macOS widget that keeps your tasks visible without getting in the way. Unlike heavy productivity apps, it floats gently on your desktop — transparent, elegant, and always there when you need it. Supports Google Calendar & Tasks sync, customizable fonts, colors, transparency, and lives quietly in your menubar. Free. macOS 14+.

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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.
