PeerPause

Ask your friends for screentime

What it does

PeerPause is an iPhone screen time app that blocks distracting apps. Instead of relying on pure willpower to fight phone addiction, PeerPause helps you stay accountable with a Time Buddy. Invite a friend to be your Time Buddy. Set limits on the apps that waste your time, and once you hit those limits, the only way to keep using the app is to ask your Time Buddy for more time. They can approve or deny your request.

We build tools to help people reduce their screen time (here’s us two years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35888644) We get all kinds of requests from users for ways they'd like to use their screen time data. - “Auto-donate $x to charity every time I exceed a limit or try to bypass it” - “My 75 Hard group has a screen time requirement, can we set up group visibility?” - “Let my personal agent know if it’s a good time to tackle things on my todo list” - “Auto-report large deviations in my screen time to my…

    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…
