NotchPet

A tiny friend on your notch

What it does

NotchPet lives in your MacBook's notch, peeking out when your system changes and quietly napping when nothing needs you. Cute enough to keep. Light enough to forget.

A playful macOS companion that lives in your MacBook notch and reacts to CPU, memory, battery, and temperature changes.

NotchPet lives in your MacBook's notch, peeking out when your system changes and quietly napping when nothing needs you. The animation clock runs only while NotchPet is visible. Quiet pup, quiet renderer. No window to manage, no Dock icon, no clicks, and no stolen focus. It's company—not software chores. CPU, memory, battery, and temperature become expressions instead of another chart to babysit. A playful Mac companion that turns system changes into tiny moments offrom notchpet.everoasistech.com

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    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…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;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.
