Pickclip
Clipboard manager and dictation that uses Apple Intelligence
What it does
Pickclip is a smart clipboard manager with powerful dictation that runs on your Mac and uses Apple Intelligence. Copy text in any app — or hold ⌥⇧D and just talk — and a popup appears at your cursor: translate, fix, and more right on your Mac. Every copy, and any transcript you keep, lands in a private, searchable history.
Pickclip is a macOS menu bar app: on-device AI actions on anything you copy, a clipboard history you can search by meaning, hotkey dictation, screenshot OCR, and a local MCP server for your AI assistant.
Copy text in any app — or hold ⌥⇧D and just talk — and a popup appears at your cursor: translate, fix, and more with Apple Intelligence , right on your Mac. Every copy, and any transcript you keep, lands in a private, searchable history . English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese — at your cursor, in about a second, without opening a browser tab. Spelling, grammar, punctuation — corrected in place. Never rewrites your meaning, never drops a sentence. Turn a stream of consciousness into tidy paragraphs and bullet points before anyone else reads it. Copy a screenshot and pull every word out of it — error dialogs, slides, Wi-Fi passwords. On-device Vision OCR. One hotkey opens the system…from pickclip.pro

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…

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…
