Show HN: MindHalo – macOS study assistant using on-device Foundation Models

I’ve been building a macOS study assistant called MindHalo, and I’m looking for feedback from people who work with study tools, macOS utilities, or Apple’s new Foundation Models. The app is built with SwiftUI and uses Apple’s Foundation Models API, so all inference happens on-device. No cloud calls, no data sent to servers, and performance is fully local to Apple Silicon. Features AI Study Tutor Responds to questions with follow-up reasoning Minimal, focused chat interface Study Guide Generator Converts pasted notes into structured study outlines Includes explanations and short examples Saves guides locally (no backend) Flashcards Generates flashcards from any text Simple flip-card UI with local progress tracking Licensing During the beta, anyone can generate a free lifetime license. Licenses are hardware-bound and remain valid even if the app becomes paid later. License generation page: https://mindhalo.techfixpro.net/ https://mindhalo.techfixpro.net/ (one per IP) Requirements macOS 26+ Apple Silicon (no Intel support) If anyone is interested, the project page has screenshots, details, and the current build: https://mindhalo.techfixpro.net/ https://mindhalo.techfixpro.net/ I’d appreciate feedback on interface decisions, workflow, and overall performance — especially from people with experience in Apple Silicon optimization or local model integration.
