TVGuard
Screen time limits for Android TV — no cloud, no account
TVGuard launched on August 22, 2026.
What it does
Parental controls barely exist on Android TV — and those that do want an account that uploads your kid's viewing history. TVGuard is local-first. The phone talks straight to the TV over your Wi-Fi: no account, no signup, usage data never leaves your network. Remote access is optional, encrypted, and off by default. Install the TV agent, pair from your phone, then set per-app PIN locks, daily limits and bedtime hours. It also PIN-protects the TV's own Settings so it can't be undone.

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…
