Even the prickliest things can offer something beautiful. 🌿🌸🐝
Caught this bumblebee enjoying a thistle. A little reminder that there’s a whole world of activity going on around us if we slow down long enough to notice. 💜

You ask, I ship. 🏁
Xbar’s new animate-to-audio feature is done! Take a still image, add your audio, and bring it to life all locally on your own hardware. 🦾
I built this after someone asked if Xbar could make a character sing along to an existing vocal track. Here’s the demo.
Your silicon. Use it when you need it. Offline, no subscriptions. Buy once, keep forever♾

Pragmatically is included with Xbar. Save what's in your kitchen, paste in a recipe and check its ingredients against your inventory. You can also ask for meal ideas based on what you've recorded. A useful place to start before buying more food.

I built Pragmatically to help people keep track of the physical things in their lives and to make that information useful when they need it. 👀
It’s local-first, with a local mobile companion. You can organize your inventory, record where things belong, and find them again without needing to connect an outside assistant.
But if you want to use your favorite assistant, Pragmatically also has optional MCP connectors. It currently supports compatible connections with Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok.
For example, I can ask, “What’s in my toolbox?” and the assistant receives the information relevant to that request, rather than my entire inventory. If I ask about something else, it can retrieve the information relevant to that question. The idea is to give the assistant what it needs for the task instead of handing over everything at once.
You can also send a photo through a compatible assistant, review the inventory details, and save the item to Pragmatically. Later, you can ask where you put it.
I built this because I wanted a practical way to connect the digital tools we use every day with the physical things we already own while keeping the choice of whether to connect an assistant in the user’s hands. 🦾
I’d be interested to hear what you’d want to ask an assistant about your own inventory.

If you want to work on a draft without uploading it to an AI service, Xbar can do that with a local model. The processing happens on your PC. Web search and Discord are separate online features you can choose to use.

I respect open source, but let’s be real. 💫
Why are small builders expected to give away their software while companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Tesla protect theirs?
I’ve spent my time, money, and sheer energy building something I believe in. I’ve got actual goals I’m trying to accomplish, and internet points aren’t going to buy me a homestead. 😂
Maybe aim some of that “open-source everything” energy at the big players. Until then, I’m protecting what I built. 🦾

If a tool saves you an hour, what happens to that hour? Does it turn into more work, or do you get to spend it with your family and friends or do learn something, or just breathe?
We talk a lot about saving time. Maybe we should talk more about what we do with it. ⏳⚡⌛

Pragmatically is local-first, but that doesn’t mean you’re limited to using it on its own.
Alongside its local mobile companion, Pragmatically offers optional MCP connectors that let you use your favorite compatible assistant to interact with your inventory. Send a photo, say where the items belong, review the details, and save them to Pragmatically.
Your physical things, organized your way in an intuitive digital space. 📸📜
Currently supports Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok.
