Wellness apps love streaks, and streaks love guilt. I wanted the opposite.
Mushroom's mood goes a little droopy if you've been ignoring it through a busy stretch. It never dies, never scolds, and never takes anything away. One click on the small recover button and it's happy again. Buttons on notifications are just Done, Snooze, or Skip, and Skip means "not this time", not "stop forever".
You dismiss reminders. You don't ignore a pet.
Mushroom is a tiny pixel creature that lives on your Mac. It can tell when you are actually at the desk, so it nudges you to drink, move and rest your eyes at the moments that help, and stays quiet when they would not.
Made for people who sit at a Mac for hours. Developers, designers, writers, students, anyone whose focus is the problem and the job at the same time.
