Help a small plant find new desks

Three weeks after launch, Mossy's little plant lives on about 20 desks every weekday and has offered over 2,400 breaks.

My wife and I build it after our day jobs, so the only way it spreads is people like you. If you know someone who sits all day and forgets to stand up, send them heymossy.com. One coworker is enough.

Update your Mossy. Right click him, ten seconds.

A few of you installed him on launch day and never touched him since. That's the point, but he's changed since then. Right click the plant, "Update", done.

What's new:

  • He updates himself now.

  • You can offer him to someone, with a note inside. Right click, "Offer a cutting". They get a link, the note opens when their plant sprouts.

  • Fixed: when the plant ends up off screen, he comes back to the middle.

  • Fixed: you can now park the plant against the edge, or slightly off screen, so he takes less room. The bubble follows him.

    If yours already says 0.2.15, you're good. Go pick who gets the first cutting.

A radish, a mushroom or a sunflower is about to live on your Mac. Vote.

Mossy comes as a moss or a cactus. Time for a third one.

We drew three. A radish, a red cap mushroom, a sunflower. We want you in on how Mossy grows, so this one is your call: heymossy.com/vote

Thank you. #9 Product of the Day

In a single day, people took breaks from 19 countries: the US, India, France, Poland, Colombia, Kenya, South Africa, Hong Kong For something we built at home around a baby's nap schedule, that's still hard to believe.

The team: two people who sit ten hours a day, one baby who never sits still, and a plant that wilts while we work. Now tell us what's missing. Feedback, feature requests, things that annoy you: drop them here, we read everything :).

Small update from the two of us.

Since launch, you've taken more than 120 breaks with him. Thank you!

Mossy - A desk plant that wilts when you need a break

Mossy is a small plant that lives on your Mac desktop. The longer you sit without a break, the more it wilts. You write one sentence about what your breaks should be. Stretch my bad back. 20 push-ups. Teach me a Spanish word. Just make me stand up. An AI writes every break from that sentence, one task at a time, with a timer. It never blocks or dims your screen. Ignoring it is a normal way to use it. Free, no account, 1.4 MB, native, macOS 12+.
