What it does
Helm is a personal AI agent that runs on your hardware with full shell, files, web and screen. Message it from Discord, iMessage or your terminal. Owner-locked, private, runs on any model — your Claude subscription, an API key, or a free local model. Free, self-hosted.
Helm runs on your hardware with full shell, files, web and screen. You message it from Discord, iMessage or your terminal — it does the work and reports back. Owner-locked, private, and powered by any model you choose. Most assistants answer inside a browser tab and stop there. Helm has your terminal, your files, your browser and your screen — and the judgment to use them. Ask for the outcome; it opens the tools, does the work on the machine you own, and brings back the result. Eight things Helm does that a chat window can't. No cloud sandbox, no SaaS account, no data leaving hardware you own. Claude on your subscription or an API key — or any other model. Run a free local model with Ollama…from goodman-pro.github.io

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
