Write Lint

Your Mac's built-in proofreader, summoned by ⌘⇧L.

Write Lint launched on May 14, 2026 with 69 votes, #600 of 20,538 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.

What it does

A floating macOS menu-bar app that polishes typos, punctuation, and grammar with Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Optional cloud via your own Claude or OpenAI key.

Write Lint runs on Apple's on-device Foundation Models out of the box. No servers, no telemetry, no training data. The model is already on your machine — we just give it a nice place to live. Want a different model? Bring your own Claude or OpenAI key. Your key, your account, your call — Write Lint never sees it and never charges for it. Requires macOS 26.0 or later with Apple Intelligencefrom writelint.app

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • 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…
