Focus Guard ( 1002 )

What it does

A 100% local AI focus monitor. YOLOv8 + MediaPipe + OpenCV watch for phone pickups and desk-leaves during self-declared focus blocks and score every session 0–100.

1002 watches through your webcam during the focus blocks you choose. It notices when you pick up your phone, when you leave your desk, and — at the end — hands back an honest score. No cloud. No telemetry. Just you and the work. You start a focus block from the sidebar — 5 to 120 minutes. Outside of that, the camera is off. There is no background daemon. YOLOv8 flags the phone the moment it enters frame. MediaPipe flags the empty chair. Short glances and quick stretches are forgiven by grace windows. 0–100, plus a minute-by-minute timeline of where you drifted, plus a weekly line telling you whether you're actually getting better. Each dependency does one job it's the best in the world at,…from nazoratchiamaki.lovable.app

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
