Formattery

On-device file converter for Apple devices

What it does

Formattery is a file converter for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that runs entirely on-device. Images, PDFs, video transcoding, and OCR — no upload, no cloud, no account. Built solo. Stack is Core Image, ImageIO, AVFoundation, PDFKit, and Vision — Apple frameworks all the way down, which is also why some niche formats just aren't supported.

    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. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it.
