What it does
Hover for Mac is a local-first AI assistant that appears beside your cursor and works across macOS. Select text, press a shortcut, choose an action, and get help with writing, coding, summarizing, translating, explaining, or replying without switching apps. Use local models through Ollama or LM Studio, or bring your own OpenAI-compatible API key for OpenAI, Featherless, or custom endpoints.

Hover lives beside your cursor and brings AI into every app on macOS: writing, coding, summarizing, translating, explaining, and more, powered by local models or your own API keys. Hey Sam, thanks for sending the brief. I read through the timeline and have one concern. I can probably get this done next week, but the scope is still a bit fuzzy. Can you send the final requirements today so I can lock the estimate? I can start next week once the scope is final. Send the remaining requirements today and I will confirm the estimate. Hover removes the context-switching tax from everyday AI work. It appears exactly where your attention already is. Use any macOS app: browser, editor, PDF reader,…from hoverformac.com

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

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…
