Privacy-first podcast player for Android. On-device Whisper transcription, AI episode summaries, voice commands, Smart Pause. Free, no ads, no account.

Lucidcast transcribes episodes on-device, generates AI summaries, responds to voice commands, and seamlessly switches between streaming and offline files. Fully local processing, no accounts, offline-first. What mainstream podcast apps don't bother with — and what you actually want if you listen to podcasts every day. On-device Whisper transcribes the episode locally on your phone. Gemini turns it into a structured summary. Runs offline, no data sent to third parties. "Podcast play / stop / skip / save" — no need to touch the phone. Works on the lock screen and in the car via Bluetooth. After the first 60 seconds of listening the episode quietly downloads in the background. Tunnels, weak…from prismatic.cz

  • Today, 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!
