Toll

An app blocker where ads are the punishment

What it does

Most app blockers have an easy off switch, but Toll doesn't. Instead of locking you out, it makes you watch an ad every time you open a blocked app (nobody likes ads!) It's like toll booth - you can always get in, it just costs you 30-60 seconds first. Annoying enough to make you pause, not so annoying you'll uninstall it. Free to use too!

    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…
