Show HN: DeskMic a Rust based hyper-light continuous transcriber/AI summarizer

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 9:59pm

I hate missing key action items/brainstorming ideas at work and always regret not having recorded notes from meetings. Now I built an always on rust based tool that continuously transcribes and summarizes all meetings and sends previous day/weeks summary to my inbox.

Show HN: Flumen – An open-source focus timer for macOS (menu bar, local data)

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 9:58pm

Hey HN,

I built a focus timer for macOS because every one I tried was either bloated with features, ugly, paywalled, or stored my data in the cloud. My daily time-tracking data is personal - I didn't want it on someone else's server.

Flumen lives in your menu bar. One click to start a focus session. Key details:

- Menu bar timer with animated progress ring — always accessible - Task Shelf for single-task focus with project tagging - Analytics with project-level time breakdowns - 4-7-8 breathing animations during breaks - 100% local SQLite storage — no accounts, no cloud, no telemetry - Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel) - Free, open source

I believe simple productivity tools like this should be free, especially now. So I built what I wanted and made it available to everyone.

Website: https://saranshbarua.github.io/flumen/ GitHub: https://github.com/saranshbarua/flumen Direct download: https://github.com/saranshbarua/flumen/releases/latest/downl...

I'd love feedback, especially from folks who've tried other Mac timer apps. What's missing? What would make this part of your daily workflow?

Claude.md isn't always read and followed

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 9:44pm

I thought Claude was more reliable. Guess you can't count on CLAUDE.md files always being read and followed.

Context was only at 13% used.

The transcript:

---

pajtai> Why didn't you rename the completed plan per ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md?

You're right, I missed that. Let me find and rename the plan file now.

Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

I need to identify which plan file corresponds to the [PROJECT] fix. Let me check the likely candidates.

Searched for 1 pattern, read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

Bash(mv ~/.claude/plans/elegant-leaping-spring.md ~/.claude/plans/2026-02-18-[PROJECT].md) ⎿ Done

Done. Renamed elegant-leaping-spring.md → 2026-02-18-[PROJECT].md.

I'll make a note to remember this step going forward. Wrote 1 memory (ctrl+o to expand) pajtai> Where did you put the note?

I put it in the project-specific memory file at /Users/pajtai/.claude/projects/-Users-pajtai-[PROJECT]/memory/MEMORY.md.

But that's the wrong place — the reminder applies to all projects, not just this one. It should go in the global MEMORY.md at /Users/pajtai/.claude/projects/-Users-pajtai-[PROJECT]/memory/MEMORY.md... wait, let me check where the global one actually is. Searched for 1 pattern (ctrl+o to expand) The only MEMORY.md that exists is the project-specific one at /Users/pajtai/.claude/projects/-Users-pajtai-[PROJECT]/memory/MEMORY.md. That's where I put it. However, since the plan-renaming rule is already in your global CLAUDE.md, the note is redundant. Would you like me to remove it?

Ask HN: Anyone else tired of working in tech?

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 8:47pm

I'm really tired of the BS, AI, corporate environment and what not.

Looking for alternatives.

In case you're in the same boat:

What do you plan to work with?
