Never get surprised by a deadline again. Kairo puts a countdown right on your Windows desktop, or floating over any app, with gentle reminders before time runs out. No sign-up, no tracking. Free for 3 deadlines, one-time upgrade for more.
Hey Product Hunt! š
What inspired it: I used to write every deadline down and then never look at it again. My deadlines lived in apps I never opened, so every one of them felt like a surprise.
The problem I wanted to solve: keep the time left in front of me without having to go and check. So Kairo puts a countdown right on your Windows desktop.
How it evolved: it started as a single card on my desktop. Then I wanted to see it while working, so I added a small floating overlay that sits above any app and steps aside when you're on the empty desktop. After that came reminders (1 hour, 30 min and 5 min before), eight card styles (yes, one has a sleepy cat š±), and a lot of small polish.
A few things I cared about:
⢠No account, no cloud, no tracking. Your deadlines stay on your PC
⢠Free for up to 3 deadlines
⢠Kairo Pro is a one-time upgrade, no subscription, and it's on a launch discount until 31 October
This is my first launch as a solo developer, so I'd really love your feedback. What would make Kairo a keeper on your desktop? š
