PeekFocus

What it does

PeekFocus makes your screen instantly presentable. When your desktop is cluttered and you need to share your screen, it blurs, dims or overlays custom image so what you are working on stays clear, calm, and ready to show. Three modes: Standard - your normal desktop, Ambience - a calm ambient backdrop, Focus - where only your active window remains visible. Frosted blur, smooth dim, or custom image. Multi-display. Menu bar. No subscription. 7-day free trial. One-time purchase.

PeekFocus makes your Mac screen presentable in one keystroke. Blur, dim, or replace background windows before presentations. Native menu bar app.

Your desktop is cluttered. You need to share your screen. One keystroke — and everything behind your active window fades quietly into the background. Three modes let you choose how much of your workspace stays visible. Your active window stays clear while everything else fades quietly into the background. Clean, calm, and instantly presentable. Ambience replaces desktop clutter with a softer backdrop while keeping every window exactly where it is. Frosted blur, smooth dim, custom wallpapers, and a subtle live gradient keep your screen feeling calm without losing context. Frosted blur, smooth dim, or your own custom wallpaper. Each mode has its own independent surface, so Ambience and Focus…from lucidbit.app

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
