Nullgen AI Blocker

Stop AI prompts from being typed on any website.

What it does

Nullgen is a free, on-device browser extension that blocks generative AI prompts. Detection runs on the device, so what you type never leaves your computer. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and any site with an AI composer. Use it to prevent AI cheating, promote academic integrity, stop shadow AI, or prevent data loss. Pro tier adds management features such as access approvals, policies, provisioning and enforcement for families, schools, and companies.

Nullgen is a free, on-device browser extension that blocks generative AI prompts. Protect sensitive data at work, ensure academic integrity, or secure home PCs.

Most AI controls react to what already happened. Nullgen AI Blocker prevents those AI prompts from happening in the first place. You get immediate prevention, not damage control afterward. Works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. No account, no sign-up, no cost. Detection happens locally in the browser. Your prompt is never uploaded to us. Install and you are protected. Nothing to configure, nothing to sign up for. Prompt blocking is free, permanently. Pro is optional and adds extra control and features. Domain blocklists break the moment a new assistant launches, and monitoring tools only tell you about the essay, the leaked snippet, or the pasted customer list after it is gone.…from nullgen.ai

  • 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…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
