Mushroom - Made for people who sit at a Mac for hours.

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.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Alexander, the maker of Mushroom 🍄

Mushroom is a tiny pixel-art mushroom that lives on your desktop and looks after you while you work. It reminds you to drink water, eat, and step away from the screen. You can also just tell it things like "remind me in 2 hours to call my friend" and it sets that up.

I built it because most reminder apps are either silent notifications you swipe away or nagging that makes you feel bad. A small creature that gently droops when you're running on empty, and perks up with one click, felt kinder.

It runs on Mac and Windows, and there's an iPhone companion for your reminders. Everything syncs between your own devices through iCloud, with no account to make.

I'd love to hear what small habit you'd want a mushroom to nag you about. 🌱
