What it does

Hider scrambles your image pixels using a password. The result looks like random noise — enter the same password to restore instantly. No cloud. No account. No internet required. What makes it different: - Wrong password shows no error, just a different scramble. By design. - Two-layer encryption: encrypt twice with different passwords. - File size stays the same after encryption. Limitation: Google Photos and similar platforms recompress images, breaking encryption. Free. Windows only.

Hider encrypts your images by scrambling their pixels using a password you choose. The result looks like a meaningless cloud of pixels — but enter the correct password, and your original image is restored instantly.
No accounts. No cloud. No trace. Your image stays on your device, and only you know how to read it.
How it works:
For stronger protection, encrypt the same image twi

  • 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…
