TaskGate

What it does

TaskGate prevents impulsive app opens by requiring you to complete a quick task first. Break the cycle of mindless scrolling with breathing exercises, reflections, flashcards, or partner app challenges.

TaskGate intercepts impulsive app opens and requires you to complete a quick task before access is granted. Choose breathing exercises, reflections, flashcards—or connect with partner apps for even more variety. Choose which apps you want to gate - social media, games, or any apps that tend to trigger impulsive usage. Pick from built-in tasks like breathing exercises, journal prompts, and flashcards - or connect partner apps for more variety. When you try to open a gated app, TaskGate intercepts the launch and presents a mini-task instead. Finish the quick activity - it only takes seconds. Partner apps open via deep links and return automatically when done. After completing the task, you…from taskgate.co

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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…
