Quakpit is a macOS menu bar app that connects to your calendar and sends an animal-piloted plane flying across your screen before your meetings start. A duck, a dinosaur, a pigeon, a capybara, or a dog, your choice, cruises across your display towing a banner with your meeting name and how long you have left. Hard to ignore. Impossible to hate. Free to download & open source. Connect your calendar, pick your animal, never miss a meeting.
The category of "reminders that don't feel like nagging" is underrated — the second a notification starts feeling like work, people swipe it away and the whole system loses its job. A duck towing a banner is doing real product work there. I build StoryRoute on the travel side and we've found the same lesson: the delight isn't decoration, it's the only reason the user gives the tool another chance after the first miss. Congrats on shipping.
I love the idea of using animated planes for what would otherwise be a boring problem. Have you ever thought about letting the airplanes evolve for weeks so the brain doesn't ignore them?
