What it does
An AI knowledge base that runs in your browser and your local folder. Open a URL, pick a folder, the agent is ready to help. No app to install, no account, no cloud. Your folder, your API key, your files.
An agent lives in your folder, a wiki grows around your files. It reads the PDFs, EPUBs and notes already in the folder and writes linked Markdown beside them — every citation clicks back to the exact paragraph, and every change waits for your yes.
It reads the PDFs, EPUBs and notes already in the folder and writes linked Markdown beside them — every citation clicks back to the exact paragraph, and every change waits for your yes. Ask about a 300-page PDF and the answer comes back with citations you can click, straight to the paragraph it came from. Those citations are written into your own Markdown, so they still work tomorrow, in your folder, with or without us. Every other way to put an agent in your files installs something first — an app, a virtual machine, a terminal, a plugin and its configuration. localmd is a web page: open it, grant it one folder, and the agent is already there. There is no import, because there is no format…from localmd.app

LocalAug 2026 · basecompute.co · ▲107Super excited to launch our new app Local today. What we’ve learned at Base Compute over the last months is that running AI directly on your laptop or workstation gives you maximum privacy and it’s free, but it’s also a massive headache to configure. So we’ve decided what matters is making the experience completely frictionless for users. Local analyses the hardware of your laptop, optimises the AI for it, and recommends the best models for your specific device. It let’s you do what you’re doing with cloud AI already, just for free and on your own machine: Chatting with PDF’s, Recording and…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey 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…

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…
