How it works?
You stop working and get distracted
Your Mac notices you're not working
and shouts at you.
Choose from 10 unique voices
You get back to work immediately
CUSTOM TIMING
Choose When Your Mac Should Remind You
Set your own timer. 10 seconds? 1 minute? 10 minutes? You decide how long is too long to be away.
RUNS FOREVER
Runs Automatically When Your Mac Starts
Turn it on once. It runs every time you open your Mac. You don't have to think about it ever again.
MENU BAR APP
Lives in your menu bar. That's it.
No big window. No dock icon. Just a tiny icon at the top of your screen that watches how long you've been away.
SOUND ALERTS
Choose How Your Mac Annoys You
Pick a voice. A disappointed parent. A passive-aggressive coworker. A yawn. When you're gone too long, your Mac speaks up.
And a whole lot more
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Uses almost zero battery. It's basically invisible.
