Show HN: AI app to enhance photos, videos, and PDFs locally

Hacker News - Tue, 04/22/2025 - 3:48pm

I built a desktop app that enhances photos, short videos, and scanned PDFs using AI. It runs entirely on your computer — no upload or internet connection is required — so it works well for personal or sensitive files.

It uses local models for upscaling, denoising, and restoring old or compressed media. Right now it's available only for Windows due to limited development time, though I develop it on Linux and plan to support more platforms later.

I made this for people who want to clean up old images and videos without sending them to the cloud.

Free trial available. Feedback appreciated!

Show HN: Bring Local LLMs to Life and Build Anything (Free and Demo Video)

Hacker News - Tue, 04/22/2025 - 3:45pm

I was frustrated. I had multiple local LLMs sitting idle—why bother when cloud models with more parameters are better?

On top of that, every tool out there that lets you build with LLMs is absurdly overpriced.

So I built what I needed: a completely free, local-first AI platform that actually unlocks the power of local models.

This isn’t just another agent. It has a key innovation many smart folks in AI missed:

Most AI agents just use tools to chase human-defined goals.

This one creates its own goals, subgoals, and tools on the fly.

The tool is on another level when you use more parameter LLM, the performance with a 32B LLM is way better than16B LLM, you'll see at least a 100x performance gain.

And yes—it runs entirely locally. Completely free.
