Show HN: Sidebrain – Cloud AI assistant with persistent memory (web+Telegram)
I built Sidebrain as a simpler alternative to local-first AI agent tools like OpenClaw that are blowing up right now.The core difference: Sidebrain is fully sandboxed and serverless. No filesystem access, no Docker, no terminal. It runs on Vercel + Supabase with row-level security. You get 24 built-in tools (web search, GitHub integration, code execution, voice transcription, image generation, reminders, stocks, weather, translation, and more) but the AI can't touch your computer.Key featur
Show HN: AI Medical Scribe WASM. Reduced API Cost to $0.03 per Month
Hey everyone, thought I might share this.I was having issues with the cost to service users with transcriptions with costs ranging from $0.013 to $3 per hour with live text.I ended up shifting over to a WASM for scribing. There are general models for listening and a medical specific model for dictation.This reduced our API needs to just transforming the transcript - for which I am using an open source model instead of APIs from hyper scalers, claude, open ai etc.It burns through your battery so
Show HN: local speech-to-text is shockingly fast on Apple Silicon
TL;DR: How far can you go with local ML on a Mac? We built a dictation app to find out. It turned out, pretty far! On a stock M-series Mac, end-to-end speech → text → LLM cleanup runs in under 1s on a typical sentence.What is this?
A local dictation app for macOS. It’s a free alternative to Wispr Flow, SuperWhisper, or MacWhisper. Since it runs entirely on YOUR device we made it free. There’s no servers to maintain so we couldn’t find anything to charge you for. We were playing with Apple Silico
Softflation
Thanks to artificial intelligence, we can now produce many more software applications using the same resources.<p>Even people without programming skills can build their own applications.
The result? A much larger number of apps, increased competition, and significant pressure on marketing and sales.<p>Naturally, this intensified competition leads to lower prices and faster progress.
I call this phenomenon softflation.<p>What is your opinion about this phenomenon?
Show HN: Clod.ai – A Literal Wayback in Time Machine in Figuratively No Time
I discovered a free online Pomodoro timer in 2018. [1] I'd been a frequent user of it from then until it was decommissioned in early '25. I found it super helpful for timeboxing stuff within easy-to-commit-to intervals.About a month ago, I started having really intense hunger pangs for it.A few pages of the original implementation are archived on the Wayback Machine. A couple weeks ago, I got the idea to reverse-engineer it using those pages as a reference.That's when I started re
Show HN: Folion – Local-first Windows file search with a semantic RAG layer
Hi HN,I’m a solo dev, and after a first push amongst some close friends, I’m finally sharing Folion (https://www.folionapp.com).I built this because I struggle with what I call digital hoarding. My folders are full of files like final_v2_edit.docx and draft_2024_backup.pdf. Tools like Everything are great if I remember the filename, but I usually only remember the concept of what was inside.The Tech & Privacy: Folion indexes your folders locally using a vector store on your machine
I spent 5 years how to code .made real projects only to be called AI slop?
ive been sititng here for three hours jsut staring at my screen. hands are shaking. wrote this four times adn deleted because i dont wnat to sound pathetic but fuck it. i am pathetic right now. im a mess.
you know what i did tonight? opened my github. forty one repos. 41 in total. i counted them twice. do you knwo what that represents? thats not "code". thats not "projects". thats every night i chose to stay in while my firends went out. thats teh relationships i let fade bec
Show HN: Executive – A real-time dashboard for orchestrating many Claude Codes
I built this as an internal tool for my company and wasn't planning to open-source it. But I saw a post from Boris (who built Claude Code) describing his workflow, and two things jumped out: he runs multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel, and he spends extensive time discussing and planning with Claude before letting it touch any code — then lets it run. That's exactly how I work, so I figured maybe this tool is useful to someone else.
The core idea: when you're running 3-5 Cla
Show HN: Clawdstrike – a security toolbox for the OpenClaw ecosystem
Hi HN.OpenClaw has been popping claw for weeks now…We’ve seen the same question come up again and again:
“This is fun but how do we no get fuk?”My answer: Clawdstrike.It’s an open-source toolbox for developers who want to ship EDR-style apps and security infrastructure to the OpenClaw ecosystem.Disclaimer: this is an unpublished alpha (APIs will change). Beta is planned within ~7 days (aiming for Feb 10, 2026). Not audited—please treat as experimental.Here’s my take: the first wave of “make auto
