What it does
zero keeps every Gmail inbox — across all your accounts — at only what still needs you. A quiet macOS menu-bar agent reads each thread, judges what's genuinely an open loop awaiting you, and sets everything else aside. Nothing is ever deleted: archiving just adds a dated recovery label, so every run is reversible with one search. Editable categories, replies drafted in your own voice, native Liquid Glass. Bring your own Google, Codex, or Claude.
zero is a quiet macOS menu-bar app that reads every Gmail thread each morning, keeps only what still needs you, and archives the rest reversibly. Nothing is ever deleted. Runs locally on your own Google and Claude keys.
Not a mail client. Not another app to check. zero reads every Gmail thread each morning, keeps only what genuinely still needs you, and sets the rest aside. Reversibly. Your inbox isn't full of important things. It's full of things you haven't decided about yet, and that uncertainty is what keeps pulling you back to scan, refresh, scan again. You're not behind on email. You're behind on a system you trust to look for you. zero is that system. It reads everything, keeps only the open loops, and because nothing is ever deleted , you can finally stop checking. Letting an agent touch your inbox is a trust question, not a features question. Here is how we've answered it. Archive means one thing:…from zero.headless.com

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
