Ishtiaque H.'s profile on Product Hunt

About

Solo founder in Vancouver. I build Shlexball, a Mac app that finds files from a plain-English description, using a fine-tuned 1.5B model that runs on the Mac itself. I also make porkicoder, a coding agent, and resumehog, which tailors a resume to a role. I send patches upstream to Apple's MLX. Design, code, infra and support are all one person. Born in Bangladesh, studied in Kuala Lumpur, a few years in Toronto. More at ishti.dev.

Shlexball - Describe a file and a local AI model finds it on your Mac

Shlexball is a Mac app that finds files from a plain-English description, like "where are my github 2fa recovery codes". Its 1.5B model, fine-tuned from Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B-Instruct, runs on your Mac and writes a search plan; a read-only sandbox runs it, so your files are never uploaded. It searches names, contents, PDFs and Word documents. macOS 15, Apple silicon, 16 GB. 30 free searches, then 9 USD a month or 59 USD a year.
