What it does
We have been watching Person of Interest the old TV series with my wife. And I notice Samaritan's interface and I thought I must create an app with this UI. I have to do it. So I created The Machine. (Yes, with heavy irony.)

FriendwareJan 2026 · friendware.ai · ▲190Hey HN, I built Friendware because I wanted autocomplete that works everywhere on my Mac, not just in code editors. In any text field it can draft replies, rewrite text, and write prompts for AI tools; it uses on-screen context to adjust based on what you’re doing. My goal was making it feel native and not require workflow changes, so it stays accessible across apps by living in the notch. Currently working on better voice learning and a memory system, would love feedback on what to prioritize!
