AccountyCat
A focus companion that actually gets context
About AccountyCat
AccountyCat is an innovative focus companion designed specifically for macOS users who seek smarter productivity tools. Unlike traditional focus aids that rely on blocking lists or simple timers, AccountyCat interprets your context by analyzing active apps, window titles, and occasional screenshots to determine whether you're genuinely procrastinating or engaged in legitimate work. It quietly resides in your menu bar, offering gentle nudges when you drift from productive activities, thus helping users maintain focus without unnecessary interruptions. Its unique use of on-device AI, powered by Qwen via llama.cpp or your own OpenRouter key, ensures privacy and data security, making it an appealing choice for privacy-conscious professionals. Open source and auditable, AccountyCat emphasizes transparency and customization, standing out in the productivity space as a smarter, more context-aware focus assistant.
