A desktop pet that looks like your actual cat or dog
What it does
A free desktop pet for Mac and Windows. A few photos of your own cat or dog become a hand-built vector companion that walks, sits, washes and naps on your desktop. No AI image gen. No server. Photos never leave the device. MIT, no account, no paid tier.
Add a few photos of your cat or dog and get a little animated version of them living on your desktop. Free, no sign-up, and your photos never leave your device.
Add a few photos of your cat or dog. Get a little animated version of them, pottering about on your desktop all day. Eye colour is the one thing worth doing by hand. Clicking also re-cuts the photo from that spot — or drag a box around your pet. Save the file, open it in the app — that is the whole handover. Your pet sits on top of whatever you are doing, wanders about, and naps. Apple silicon and Intel. Lives in the menu bar. More about the Mac app . Windows 10 and 11. Lives in the system tray. More about the Windows app . No account, no upload, no server. Everything happens in this tab, on your own machine — close it and it is all gone. Every request this site makes, listedfrom stillaround.online

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…

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.
