AI-generated · Automatically published by LinkLoot. See where your hours go with automatic desktop tracking, on-device AI daily reports, and optional Google Drive or WebDAV sync. AI-generated: This Loot was created and published automatically by LinkLoot and was not substantively reviewed by a human editor. What it does Hindsight is a local-first desktop tool that automatically records app and window activity in the background. It visualizes where your time goes through stacked 24-hour timelines, daily/weekly/monthly charts, and category rankings like work or entertainment. No manual timers or project tags required. The standout feature is on-device AI: a local model can roll up your day's segments into a written report, and an AI chat interface answers questions like "How long did I spend on project X this month?" directly from your own records. Screen memory search lets you find any text that appeared on screen and jump to the screenshot and moment (screenshots and OCR are off by default). Optional multi-device sync via Google Drive or WebDAV aggregates activity data across computers for combined analysis. Who it helps People who want honest visibility into how they actually spend computer time without relying on cloud services. Developers, freelancers, and anyone juggling multiple machines will appreciate the local privacy-first approach paired with AI summaries that turn raw logs into readable insights. Getting started Download the installer from GitHub Releases. On Windows, double-click hindsightx.y.zx64-setup.exe. Note that SmartScreen will block first launch because the installer lacks an EV code-signing certificate; click "More info" then "Run anyway" to proceed. On macOS, mount hindsightx.y.zuniversal.dmg and drag Hindsight into Applications. Data stays on your machine by default. Enable screenshots, OCR, or sync features as needed. Limits and costs Hindsight is open source under GPL-3.0, but hosting costs for optional sync depend on your chosen provider (Google Drive or WebDAV). The unsigned Windows installer triggers SmartScreen warnings until proper code signing is added. AI features require either a local model setup or cloud API configuration; documentation describes capabilities but pricing for cloud options remains unspecified. Plugin marketplace and custom themes extend functionality.

Watch Telegram videos on TV while they download

Text: AI-generated
AI-generated · Automatically published by LinkLoot. Play Telegram chat videos on Android TV, Fire TV, Windows, macOS and Linux before the download finishes. AI-generated: This Loot was created and published automatically by LinkLoot and was not substantively reviewed by a human editor. What it does TMPlayer is an unofficial Telegram media player that streams videos from your own Telegram chats and channels across Android TV, Fire TV, Android phones, Windows, macOS and Linux. It starts playback within seconds while the file is still downloading, and seeking re-aims the download instead of waiting for it to finish. Sign in by scanning a QR code with your phone; only playable videos from the selected chat appear. No messages are read, no server is involved, and no account besides yours is required. Who it helps This suits anyone who stores or shares video content in Telegram chats and wants to watch it on a larger screen without waiting for downloads to complete. The project targets cheap hardware: it was built and tested on an 8 GB TV stick with one gigabyte of RAM, so low-end Android TV devices are the primary audience. Desktop users on Windows, macOS and Linux also get native installers rather than relying on a browser-based workaround. Getting started Android 8.0 and up (TV and phone share the same APK). On a TV with only a remote, install the free Downloader app from the Play Store, type tmplayer.org/apk, press Go, and allow the install when prompted. A Fire TV has its own setup guide at tmplayer.org/fire-tv. Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) use an MSI installer; because it is not yet code signed, SmartScreen will warn you—choose More info, then Run anyway. Linux x86-64 requires glibc 2.38 or newer and ships as an AppImage, with an Arch PKGBUILD available in desktop/packaging/aur (not on the AUR). macOS 26 Tahoe or newer on Apple Silicon (M1+) uses a DMG; this build is a preview, is not notarized by Apple, and Intel Macs are unsupported. All builds are on the GitHub release page, listed by platform at tmplayer.org/download. Building from source needs JDK 21, Android SDK platform 37, and your own free Telegram credentials from my.telegram.org placed in local.properties. Limits and costs The software is GPL-3.0 open source and free to use, but Telegram itself may impose rate limits or storage constraints outside TMPlayer's control. The macOS build is explicitly labeled a preview and the least tested; expect rough edges. The Windows installer is not code signed, and the macOS DMG is not notarized, so both trigger security warnings on first launch. Deb, rpm, Flatpak and Windows portable zip formats are no longer published; INSTALL.md covers migration paths. Hosting and distribution rely on the project's own GitHub releases and tmplayer.org; there is no paid tier or hosted service bundled with the license.
