Mochi
Your AI calorie tracking coach, in iMessage
What it does
Most calorie trackers die the same way: you forget to open the app after a few days, and the streak breaks. Mochi fixes this by living in your most used app: iMessage. What Mochi does: • Text or photograph your food → get an instant macro breakdown (protein/carbs/fat) • Tracks water, weight, and daily calorie goals automatically • Sends proactive check-ins/texts • Streak tracking with shareable milestone cards • Full web dashboard with trend graphs for weight, calories, and streaks
Track calories and macros by texting a photo to Mochi in iMessage. No app to download. Instant meal analysis, daily recaps, and streak tracking — all in your texts.
snap a photo, describe your meal, or send a voice note. mochi logs the calories and macros, tracks your streaks, and texts you back — right inside iMessage. free forever — 5 logs a day, no card needed. submitting sends you one text from mochi to get started. send a photo, describe what you ate, or record a voice note. mochi reads it, identifies every ingredient, and logs the calories and macros instantly. mochi texts you when you're close to your daily limit, recaps your day every evening, and delivers a weekly summary every sunday — no apps to open. mochi tracks your current and longest streak, celebrates milestones, and unlocks badges as you go — with coach personality modes that keep it…from mochitext.com

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

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…
