Focus Shield

Your attention, back in your hands.

What it does

Focus Shield hides Reels, Shorts, and TikTok feeds while keeping everything else—DMs, posts, and search—working normally. Need a stronger barrier? Block entire apps too. Want to watch later? Pause Focus Shield anytime. It doesn't lock you out—it simply makes mindless scrolling harder. Everything runs 100% on-device with no account, no analytics, no tracking, and no root required.

    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.

  • 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.
