In plain words
Omi is a desktop application that monitors a user's screen and listens to conversations to provide real-time work advice. It combines screen recording, audio capture, and AI assistance to watch for workflow inefficiencies and send proactive notifications with suggestions. Rather than requiring users to manually share screenshots with AI assistants, Omi continuously analyzes activity and alerts users when it detects productivity issues or missed tasks, designed for people who want ongoing guidance during their work.

Spent 4 months and built Omi for Desktop, your life architect: It sees your screen, hears your conversations and will advise you on what to do next Basically Cluely + Rewind + Granola + Wisprflow + ChatGPT + Claude in one app I talk to claude/chatgpt 24/7 but I find it frustrating that i have to capture/send screenshots of my screen and that it doesn't help proactively during my work Whenever omi sees something wrong about my workflow, it will send me a proactive notification with advice. It will also point to something I'm missing. The hardest part was to nail proactivity - after trying 20+ similar tools I didn't find a single one with smart proactive notifications based on content on your screen. I made it look at your screen every second with 4 main prompts: 1. Is the user productive or distracted? 2. Is there anything useful to say right now? 3. is there any task to add to do later? 4. is there anything important to remember about the user? Full stack: - Swift - Rust backend - Deepgram transcription - Claude code for messaging - GPT 5.4 summaries - Gemini for embeddings and translation Open source, stores screenshots locally, uses Claude Code for chat. Has cloud to sync with hardware or mobile app but can be disabled in settings

Hi, HN! I built a proactive open-source AI necklace that transforms your conversations into summaries, proactive feedback, and insights I built this because I want to use it myself: many companies are advertising such technology but no one is shipping The app can work with or without wearables so you can try the experience without buying anything --- Update: wasn't expecting this post to get attention, so please let me know if I need any special tags like Show HN

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
