Hi product hunt, i'm the maker of pawcus, a mac menu-bar app that makes sure you actually notice your meetings.

I kept seeing "meeting in 5 min", thinking "ok", and joining late anyway. So Pawcus takes over your whole screen with a companion and a live countdown before every meeting, 5 minutes before by default (you can change it, even per event). Join zoom, meet, teams and more in one click, or snooze it.

It does the same for reminders, sync from apple reminders or quick ones you add in the menu bar. For focus, pick pomodoro, 52/17, ultradian, flowtime or manual, and the companion shows up when it's time for a break and again when it's time to get back to work. If you join a meeting from pawcus, your focus session pauses on its own.

There are built-in cats and dogs, and you can use a video of your own pet! 🐾

What would make pawcus fit your workday? I'd love to hear anything: bugs, ideas, things that annoy you, or just which animal should be the next companion. I'm here all day to answer.
