Rephlo /re-flow/

What it does

Rephlo lives in your menu bar/tray and brings AI to text in any app—select, command, done, no copy-pasting into a separate window. What's different: Knowledge Spaces ground answers in your own documents, indexed and searched on-device, so files never leave your machine. Bring your own keys across 9 providers (incl. local Ollama), continue any result as a multi-turn chat with images, and capture anything on screen to ask about it. Keys encrypted locally, zero telemetry. Windows and macOS.

Rephlo is a desktop AI workspace for Windows, macOS & Linux. Chat, Knowledge Spaces over your own docs, screen-aware Visual Intelligence — one hotkey, any app.

Rephlo (pronounced "re-flow") is a desktop AI workspace for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lives in your system tray and works inside every app you already use. Select text in any desktop application — your email client, code editor, browser, word processor, or chat app — press a single hotkey, and the AI runs in place without copy-pasting or switching tabs. But Rephlo is more than a text rewriter: it's a connected workspace with multi-turn chat, document-grounded Knowledge Spaces that answer from your own PDFs, docs, code, and notes (retrieval-augmented generation with on-device embeddings), and Visual Intelligence that analyzes any region of your screen you capture. It supports 8…from rephlo.app

  I made an app to use local AI as daily driver2024 · recurse.chat · ▲637

  Hi Hackers, Excited to share a macOS app I've been working on: https://recurse.chat/ for chatting with local AI. While it's amazing that you can run AI models locally quite easily these days (through llama.cpp / llamafile / ollama / llm CLI etc.), I missed feature complete chat interfaces. Tools like LMStudio are super powerful, but there's a learning curve to it. I'd like to hit a middleground of simplicity and customizability for advanced users. Here's what separates RecurseChat out from similar apps: - UX designed for you to use local AI as a daily driver.…

  I caught myself copy-pasting into ChatGPT like 50 times a day. Too lazy for that, so I built a shortcut. Select text anywhere on Mac, press a hotkey — text gets rewritten / translated / summarized / whatever, right where you are. No tabs, no copy-paste dance. Native Swift app, hooks into macOS accessibility APIs. Bring your own API key and calls go straight to OpenAI / Anthropic. Or just use the free tier — 20 requests/day, no signup. https://aihotkeys.tech Curious for the feedback

  Epismo Agent PackageApr 2026 · epismo.ai · ▲106

  Hi HN, I’m Hiroki, founder of Epismo. Every day, people share “must-use” prompts, but copying a single prompt rarely reproduces real outcomes. The missing piece is the workflow: task decomposition, step order, intermediate artifacts, and quality checks. So I built Workflow Hub, an open library of human-AI workflows you can clone and run. Each workflow includes step definitions, inputs, expected artifacts/outputs, and verification checks, so you can copy the whole process, not just a prompt. You can clone a workflow, customize it, then execute it in Epismo with the best agent for each…

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
