What it does
Hide apps instantly on Windows with a single key — nothing left in the taskbar, Alt+Tab, or screen sharing. SnapAway is a modern boss key for privacy, focus, and control. Mute audio, protect with a password, and restore everything instantly. Clean, intuitive, and available on the Microsoft Store with automatic updates. Free version and lifetime upgrade available.

Your screen is full of tabs, messages, personal stuff, unfinished ideas. Not everything on your screen is meant to become public instantly, and sometimes you simply do not want to explain what is on your screen to everyone around you. There is no time to close windows one by one. SnapAway lets you instantly hide only the apps and windows you choose, helping you avoid awkward moments, reduce unwanted exposure, and keep control over your own digital space, because privacy should be normal SnapAway is open source. The entire code is public on GitHub. You can review…from edenware.app

CloaklyJan 2026 · getcloakly.com · ▲90I built a Windows tool to solve a problem I kept running into during live coding interviews and proctored assessments. I wanted to keep reference notes or personal apps open on my own screen without exposing them to the interviewer or screen-share software. Cloakly hides specific windows from the screen-share stream while keeping them fully visible locally. It works with Zoom, Teams, Meet, Loom, and most proctoring tools.

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons

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…
