Minimal Phone

What it does

Minimal Phone is an Android launcher designed to reduce impulsive phone use without making your phone feel restrictive. It combines a calm home screen, fast app search, favorites, app-specific limits, quick blocks, distraction shields, and mindful delay patterns to help you stay intentional. What makes it different is that it focuses on lightweight, practical friction instead of extreme lockdown, so your phone stays usable while becoming much less distracting.

Minimal Phone — less scrolling, more life. Text-first Android launcher with OLED-black home, Screen Time, limits, and six accent themes.

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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.
