Describe a small app you want. A stretch timer that hums every 30 seconds. A tally for cups of coffee. An AI living on your phone creates it, offline. Then you draw a glyph, and that glyph is how you open it from then on. The home screen is a canvas: scratch the mark, the tool appears. Nothing leaves the device, nothing is a template, and anything you don't like you can change by asking. Cantrips are small enough to make on a whim and personal enough to keep.
Hey Product Hunt.
This started with a stretch timer. I wanted one that buzzed every 30 seconds and did nothing else. Every app I found had accounts, a subscription, and a streak I was going to feel bad about. The thing I actually wanted was about twenty lines of code, and it still wasn't worth an afternoon to build.
That gap bugged me for a while. There's a whole class of tools that are too small to ship and too annoying to make, so nobody has them.
The models got small enough to fix that. Cantrip runs a 4B model on the phone itself. You say what you want, it writes the thing, and it never touches a server. No account, no cloud, works on a plane.
The part I care about most is how you open them. A grid of icons felt wrong for something you made yourself five minutes ago, so instead you draw a glyph and that becomes its mark. Draw it again anywhere on the home screen and the tool opens. My coffee tally is a spiral. It's a small thing but it makes the tools feel like objects instead of files.
Seven come installed so you can see the range. Keep the ones you like, forget the rest.
Would love to know what you make. The weird ones are the good ones.
