Today I stopped using Figma and PowerPoint.
I needed AI-native apps running locally on my Mac, not slow, subscription-hungry legacy apps. So I built one.
Trykk is out today, a free beta for Mac 👇
h5bits.com/trykk
It's built for agents. Claude Code or ChatGPT runs in the sidebar on your own subscription, and a local MCP server lets your own agents build decks and designs on your Mac.
Hot take: the AI is already the subscription. You pay Claude or ChatGPT. Your diagram tool, your CAD app and your notes app shouldn't each charge rent on top to call the same model. Bring your own AI, pay for the app once.
Arc shuts down Dec 22. Every app that lives on someone else's server has a date like that somewhere. So my h5bits Mac apps keep your work as plain files and run offline. If I vanished tomorrow, your files and your licence would keep working. h5bits.com/
Visily shuts down Oct 31. Every cloud design tool is one board meeting away from taking your files with it. That's why I built Kladd: hand-drawn diagrams and wireframes as plain files on your Mac. Free in beta. h5bits.com/kladd
Prada just went fully hand-drawn for its holiday campaign. Feels right. When everything looks generated, a wobbly line says a human actually thought about it. Same reason I built Kladd: hand-drawn diagrams and wireframes on your Mac, pay once. h5bits.com/kladd
Scrolling X today: a screenshot tool, a dictation app, a disk cleaner, a keyword tool. All Mac. All pay once, no subscription.
Indie software is quietly going back to owning what you buy. Good. That's the whole bet behind h5bits.
I'm building 12 Mac apps. One new app every week.
They're small, they're fast, and you pay for them once.
Here's why, and what's out so far 🧵
Kloss ("building block"): 3D models for your printer, as easy as blocks, as exact as CAD.
Real fillets, threads, gears and hinges. Opens STEP, STL and OpenSCAD. ⌘P sends it to Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer.

Every app is free while in beta. After that it's €79 once for one app, or €149 for all 12, for life, on all your Macs.
Join the waitlist and you'll hear the day each new app is out.

In one month, Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic all moved their personal AI agents to a computer in the cloud, with your inbox, logins and, in one case, your card.
I went the other way.
Where do you want your personal AI agent to run?
☁️ A computer in SF
💻 Your own laptop
My 42 agents live on my Mac. Each is a folder I own, running on the AI subscriptions I already pay for. Better model? I switch and lose nothing.
The price: the Mac has to be awake.

Local AI is the future - @0xSero opened his newest project today, to get early access for free you can use this link: local.ai/hhannis/invite
Check your current hardware what it can run, and plan your next purchase based on the best performance data on local inference.
They trained on everything humanity ever wrote. Then locked it behind an API and rent it back to us.
Built on our knowledge = owned by all of us. The billion-dollar piracy settlements are the receipts.
