What it does
Desktop project planner for Windows, macOS and Linux. Gantt with dependencies, resource utilisation, what-if scenarios, and an AI assistant that knows your plan. Runs on a local Ollama model by default. No account, no cloud, no subscription — €4.99 once.
The project planner you can talk to. Drop in a brief and shadow-planner builds the full plan — then steer it by chat: re-schedule, re-baseline, query, rebalance. Runs on a local model via Ollama, or connect Anthropic Claude or OpenAI.
Drop in a brief — shadow-planner builds the full project structure. Then steer it by conversation: re-schedule, re-baseline, query workload, rebalance, all in plain language. Run it on a local model, or bring your own Claude or OpenAI key. Paste a brief. Get a full draft — epics, tasks, owners, a timeline. Review, edit, then materialize. Nothing is committed to your plan until you say so. Ask, query, change. Push a launch by two weeks. Find who's overbooked. Re-baseline an epic. The agent reads your plan live and asks for approval before changing anything. Run the assistant on a local model via Ollama — fully offline — or connect Anthropic Claude or OpenAI in…from shadow-planner.app

Clipto MCP▲655Hey 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…
