Persodex

Hey HN, I built a personal CRM that stores everything in the native iPhone Contacts app instead of another database. The goal was to make the Contacts app I’ve used for years actually useful. I’d love to hear what you think. Especially whether you prefer extending native apps over adopting entirely new tools. Since this is one of the first releases, i would love to get any feedback you have! Alex

What it does

A smarter contacts app that helps you stay in touch with the people who matter. Or as we like to call it: Contacts with Context. Persodex syncs natively with Apple’s Contacts instead of replacing them. We don‘t even require an account. No import. No migration. No lock-in.

Persodex turns your iPhone's Contacts into a lightweight personal CRM . No duplicate address book, no separate app to maintain. It syncs tags, notes, and details directly with the system Contacts app you already use every day. No import. No migration. No lock-in. Persodex enhances Apple’s Contacts instead of replacingfrom persodex.com

  • Clipto MCP▲655

    Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
