Hearthkin is a small, private app for one household. See who

A small, private app for one household. Open it and you already know who's home, what's needed, and what's coming up — before you tap anything. It's the first thing you see, every time. Arrivals and departures land the moment they happen — so the question running quietly in the back of your head is answered before you ask it. Every arrival pushes through as it happens. No refresh. No “last seen four hours ago.” Home, school, the office, Grandma's. Mark the few that matter and “out” becomes specific. Your family sees home or away — never a trail. No history of where anyone has been is kept. The background isn't decoration — it's the status. The whole surface shifts with the state of the…from hearthkinapp.com

  Hearth – a shared family workspace where an agent can build appsAug 2026 · ▲9

  Hi HN — I built Hearth for my family: https://ourhearth.ai Hearth is a shared workspace for a household. We use it for plans, notes, schedules, people, and recurring family rituals, with an AI agent that can work across that context. Kind of like a shared Obsidian with an agent. The cool part is that the agent can also build apps on top of the family's notes and run them inside the same workspace. We have a calendar and a travel app, for instance, and all the apps I use to manage my company's operations are in another Hearth. Hearth is built on Playground, a library we're…

  Hey HN! Nick here – developer of Itsyhome, a menu bar app for macOS that gives you control over your whole HomeKit fleet (and very soon Home Assistant). I run 130+ HomeKit devices at home and the Home app was too heavy for quick adjustments. Full HomeKit support, favourites, hidden items, device groups, pinning of rooms/accessories/groups as separate menu bar items, iCloud sync – all in a native experience and tiny package. Open source (https://github.com/nickustinov/itsyhome-macos) and free to use (there is an optional one-time purchase for a Pro version which…

  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…
