What it does

Manuscripts is a Mac app for academics who've outgrown the spreadsheet. Draft, submit, revise, and repeat. Most tools pretend to be project managers or reference managers. Manuscripts does one thing: it tracks where your papers are in the submission journey—which journal, which round, which reviewers' comments triggered which revisions. One-time purchase. No subscription. No cloud. Your data lives on your Mac. Built for how academic work actually feels: slow, iterative, and often unglamorous.

    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…
