AccountyCat is a focus companion for macOS that reads context instead of blocking lists. It sits in your menu bar, sees your active app and window title (and a screenshot only when needed), then quietly nudges when you drift. Sometimes YouTube is procrastination, sometimes it's the tutorial β AC tells the difference. Runs fully on-device with Qwen via llama.cpp, or with your own OpenRouter key. Open source, auditable, private. Interrupting legitimate work is treated as a bug.
I just shipped a small free test run for AC. Iβm looking for honest early feedback: use code ACFIRST during setup for a zero-cost cloud-AI (OpenRouter - Zero Data Retention) trial, usually enough to properly try it out. Download, paste the code, grant permissions, and youβre in π Tell me what helped, what felt annoying, and what would make you keep using it. π€
@AccountyCatNew version out π« v1.0.4 brings some fixes and improvements, but the big change is full custom characters! You can literally make Steve Jobs your focus companion, but also everyone else!
I have tried to ship it with solid guardrails so that AC is never harmful, but rather still a helpful focus companion. For this reason, some characters might not always come through quite as strong or aggressive as you might expect. This is a deliberate tradeoff I had to make. Hope you can still get the character you need to focus best and do some really cool stuff with it π
