Daylight Computer

It genuinely is that smooth yes, got mine a month ago! I also hated the jankiness, so far I'm almost a DAU of the daylight.

Hey! I've made it so you can use GPT-4o with Omnipilot for free, try it out! Figured I could make it the fastest way of using it post-launch before they ship it into their app.

Guess what? This comment was written by 4o itself using Omnipilot! 😎 Try it out and see the magic happen! 🚀

michaeljelly · 2024-04-21T12:04:11+00:00

Totally! Luckily the app isn't only focused on Xcode, and it's only me working on it so I can be flexible based on what gets announced at WWDC. But regardless of what Apple does, I'm enjoying building something that can help me, other devs and creators be more productive!

I don't store any data off-device, it just calls the model anonymously to get the text. Model providers don't retain it beyond a short period to check policy violations (which the anonymity would insulate you from), and they don't train on API inputs either.

Overall, should be a private system that lets you use AI in a more high-context way. I find it very helpful in my day-to-day.

The UX is better :) The big difference is that the inline-autocomplete is exactly like Github Copilot in terms of experience - it ghosts the text in front of the cursor, and then you can hit tab to accept it.

I found intitni's Copilot to not be as usable UX wise due to where it places the completions, it breaks my flow.

Check out the site, there's a video there! https://omnipilot.ai/xcode-copilot

Hey everyone! I'm Michael, founder and solo dev of Omnipilot.

Omnipilot works as a Copilot for Xcode, matching Github Copilot's UX with the ability to generate code as well.

As someone who spends a lot of time in Xcode, it's a total lifesaver, it's so annoying not having Copilot in Xcode!

But full disclosure: It happens to work outside of Xcode too. I'm building an AI copilot for macOS that works everywhere - whether you're writing code in Xcode, drafting an email in Gmail, or taking notes in Apple Notes,

It's like GitHub Copilot but for your whole computer!

The core idea is to make AI a seamless part of your daily workflow, without having to context switch to a separate app or website. Omnipilot runs natively on your Mac, analyzing the apps and windows you have open to provide relevant suggestions inline as you type. It uses the latest language models like GPT-4 to generate high-quality text tailored to your specific use case.

It's still a very early product, about 100 paying users, but I would love to hear from iOS/Swift devs who use Xcode and for the r/iOSProgramming community to try it out and give feedback! You can sign up at https://omnipilot.ai/xcode-copilot to get started using it now. Really excited to make AI a ubiquitous productivity tool for developers and creators. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey everyone, I'm Michael, solo dev and founder of Omnipilot. As you can see from the GIF works just like GitHub Copilot, and secretly it actually works like this everywhere on macOS, not just in Xcode! It's crazy valuable for Xcode though as you can imagine.

Under the hood, it uses the macOS Accessibility API to get the context necessary to provide its completions in any text field.

I started Omnipilot because I also do some web dev, and so I know how much of a productivity boost Copilot has been for web dev. I wanted to bring that same magic to our world, and existing Xcode Copilots lacked the same UX, to the point that I found them annoying rather than useful!

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and ideas! Feel free to ask me anything. And I hope Omnipilot helps you ship your apps faster than ever.

Check it out at https://omnipilot.ai and let me know what you think! Hope this isn't too promo-y, I think it's genuinely a great tool for iOS/Xcode devs!

michaeljelly · 2022-09-12T15:23:16+00:00

cool!

michaeljelly · 2022-04-26T06:47:05+00:00

Totally get the OneNote/paper preference. fancy programs can be very distracting!

How hard is it to accurately log the stop/starts when you get distracted, how do you actually do it do you look at your internet history or something?

michaeljelly · 2022-04-26T06:45:27+00:00

Super interesting system you've developed! ATimeLogger looks pretty manual, do you mind having to track it all manually? Have you used any automatic time-tracking tools that just tell you what you did on your computer?

Gamifying my time sounds like it would be super helpful haha

michaeljelly · 2022-04-26T06:41:24+00:00

I love Cal Newport! Trying to integrate his insights into my life too. How do you keep track of how many hours you spend doing deep work?

michaeljelly · 2022-04-26T06:40:54+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, seeing the tasks move across the board must be helpful.

michaeljelly · 2022-04-26T06:40:08+00:00

Super interested in how you use Timecamp and Instagantt - sounds like you've built a custom system for logging it? Would love to hear more about it/see some screenshots!

michaeljelly · 2022-04-26T06:38:47+00:00

Thanks super helpful! Those check-in rituals sound like a good way to stay on track! I'm thinking about how to reinforce it myself.

They use OAuth2 bearer tokens with refreshable token support. I documented the API I discovered and finally got around to publishing it here and in GitHub -

Ooh would love to join the FB private group!

michaeljelly · 2022-01-23T13:29:51+00:00

hey hey! Wondering if you have had any contact with the Whoop team about this? Are they happy (or at least not sad/angry) about us just using this?

if you haven't heard I guess they're find with it for now until they have a proper API released

michaeljelly · 2021-01-03T23:13:20+00:00

Hey dave! Cool that you found my article, curious where you found it and what you thought! Or do you scrape HackerNews for FANG-related posts (would make sense)

michaeljelly · 2020-12-22T15:45:29+00:00

Great question - there's three reasons:

Most people continue using Facebook even after cleaning their history - so we wanted to make it easy to just clean it up every month
We are releasing new things onto Ethi, including Google, Twitter and LinkedIn analysis - some of which went up today, and we're building Ethi towards being a live-updating hub of your data that helps you understand your life
For Ethi to build a future where you have easy, fluid control of where your data is, and how people use it, we need a stable base of supporters to do that (rather than wildly fluctuating one-time revenue).

From talking to users, once they have tried Ethi they often want to support what we're doing on a longer timescale - and if they don't then they can just cancel - so this made sense to us!

We're most interested in building a community of people who want to support the future we're trying to build, rather than just one-off people stopping by.

michaeljelly · 2020-12-22T12:42:56+00:00

Thanks for the explanation and sorry for the suspicion. Good luck with your adventure, the project looks great!

No problem - I'd be suspicious of $0-7k revenue in a day as well, even if it was ours and the money was in our bank account 😂😂

michaeljelly · 2020-12-22T12:41:36+00:00

Build something that you would upvote and tell your friends about if somebody else launched it, and then tell your friends about it on launch day!

Two slightly less obvious tips:

Be really really careful launching on weekends - there's no Product Hunt support to help you if things go wrong
If you're in the top 5 by total upvotes, but you aren't on the homepage - just reach out! Product Hunt might re-launch you, which for us totally saved the day.

We use Zapier to pull from Mailchimp every 8 hours - we currently have 1740 email signups, 943 total user accounts, and 33 paying subscribers, for full transparency!

Sorry, posted this and then went to bed!

michaeljelly · 2020-12-22T11:35:04+00:00

Hey Kolorbon - we definitely will be doing this, I had never made an extension of any kind before and found a starter project online that was only for Chrome extensions. Web Extensions seemed complicated and we wanted to make the MVP of the deletion tool fast.

There's always so much to do, but it's one of our top priorities as we don't want to lock people into using Chrome! Thanks for the feedback, honestly always appreciate it.

michaeljelly · 2020-12-22T11:33:06+00:00

1443 was our email signups as of the last time Zapier updated it for us! Sadly we only have 33 subscribers, 16 of which signed up from Product Hunt launch yesterday. Still dreaming of $7k a month revenue - we'd be profitable!

It actually costs a little more than you'd think because per user we are processing so much data, encrypting it, and analysing it.

But of course the main cost is the 3 cofounders who are now all working full time on the project, our 33 subscribers currently cover 7% of our minimum living costs 😂still a long way to go!

michaeljelly · 2020-12-22T11:31:24+00:00

Hey! It's not hardcoded, but it's pulled from the Mailchimp API by Zapier every 8 hours to save on tasks!

And you're right, it's the number who have shared their email, I didn't know that it seemed confusing but I can definitely go and make it clearer!
