Goobity

What it does

Goobity brings your desktop to life with customizable googly eyes tracking your cursor, but doubles as a local-first security alarm. Unlike basic widgets, it features snap/clap sound triggers, instant mouse-movement sirens, and rapid 20-photo webcam bursts to catch nosy coworkers. Plus, a built-in Pomodoro timer (swaps to a pixel skull in retro mode!). Zero cloud uploads—100% local processing for ultimate privacy.

Goobity is a desktop overlay application for macOS and Windows. Get floating googly eyes tracking your cursor, customizable alarm sirens for mouse movement, webcam captures, and a built-in Pomodoro tracker.

Goobity uses advanced system hooks (mouse tracking, microphone alarms, and webcam captures) to secure your desktop. Because of these low-level system hooks, Windows will flag the installer with a standard warning. Get notified about beta versions, new features, and the upcoming macOS release! Goobity for macOS is currently in active development. Sign up to get notified as soon as the macOS version is ready to install! Floating eyes that track your cursor and sound an alarm if anyone touches your mouse. Catch intruders with webcam captures and focus with Pomodoro. A tiny transparent window that sits atop your screen — always-on-top eyes that track your cursor, blink, and react to your…from goobity.fun

  I built EyesOff after getting fed up with people glancing at my screen in coffee shops. I trained a, custom and small, neural network to detect when people look at your screen. Whenever more faces than your allowed threshold are looking at your screen an alert will show. The model being ran locally ensures all data stays on your device - no cloud processing. I would love feedback on the application and any features you think I should implement!

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  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. 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. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
