What it does

Patina AI is a mobile workspace for watch dealers, resellers, and collectors. Scan a watch in about 20 seconds to identify a likely reference, review real market ranges and comparable sales, model a profitable purchase price, track inventory and service costs, create eBay listings, and measure net profit. The catalog covers more than 50,000 references and supports over 1,100 watch professionals and collectors.

Patina AI is the all-in-one tool for watch dealers: scan and identify any watch, price it against real market data, manage inventory and costs, list on eBay, and see the net profit and channel performance behind every deal.

Patina AI runs the whole deal from your phone: scan and identify the watch, price it against real market data, list it on eBay, and see the net profit on every sale. 20 seconds from a photo to the market price—then a few taps to a live eBay listing. Most of the work happens away from the watch: a photo in the camera roll, a reference in a forum tab, comps behind a marketplace filter, costs in a spreadsheet. The seller standing in front of you won't wait for any of it. Cross-referencing forums, listings, and reference guides takes hours you don't have at the counter. A listing tells you what a seller hopes to get. Without sold activity and a market range, your margin is a guess. Purchase…from usepatina.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…

  • 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.
