What it does
Most habit trackers reset you to zero when you miss a day. Kintsu doesn't. Inspired by Kintsugi — the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold — Kintsu marks your missed-then-recovered days in gold. Because coming back matters more than being perfect. ✦ Build good habits & break bad ones ✦ Urge surfing for cravings ✦ Hold-to-log with haptic feedback ✦ 100% offline, no account needed ✦ Beautiful Material 3 themes Your streaks don't define you. Your comeback does.
A habit tracking app that celebrates recovery instead of punishing mistakes. Inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of golden repair.
Every other habit app punishes you for missing a day. Kintsu repairs the crack with gold. Missing a day shows an empty tile. Recovering fills it with gold. That's it. Your habits don't need the cloud. Everything works with no connection. A panic button for cravings. Guided breathing that actually works. Every other app made me feel guilty. Kintsu made me feel human. I missed 3 days and the golden tiles actually made me want to come back. The 'hold to log' interaction is so satisfying. It feels intentional — like the app respects the act of building a habit. I quit smoking 40 days ago. Kintsu's urge surfing got me through the worst cravings at 2am when I had no one to talkfrom kintsu.heypratham.in

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons

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…
