You sit down at nine. You look up and it is two. No water, no lunch, no break, and your eyes hurt. 🍄 Mushroom is a tiny pixel companion who sits on your desktop and watches the clock so you do not have to. It nudges you at the right moments: water, breaks based on how long you have actually been active rather than a dumb timer, snacks, the 20-20-20 rule for your eyes, and a wind down at bedtime. Ignore a nudge and nothing bad happens. Your mushroom droops a little, one click cheers it right back up, and a streak you break costs you nothing. No guilt, no alarms, no dashboard telling you off. Talk to it in plain words. Click the pet and type "remind me in 2 hours to call Tom" or "focus for 45 minutes on the proposal", and it just happens. Chat runs on your own computer: Apple Intelligence on a Mac, or a small model you download once. It does more than nudge. Reminders you can edit and pause, focus sessions with a countdown, streaks and stats, a notepad, read aloud, the weather, a daily news digest from your own feeds, photo memories, people to call, two little games for a proper break, and tool plugins that teach it a new trick from one small JSON file. Send things to people. Drop a file on your mushroom and it hands you back a link that works for 24 hours, with nothing to install at the other end. Give one person an 8 character invite code and your two mushrooms carry messages between you, locked on your Mac before they leave and opened on theirs. Both run on Mushroom's servers, so they come with a membership ($2.99 a month or $24.99 a year), or free with a server of your own. Earlier buyers keep them, and the free trial does not include them. Private by default. Your conversations run on your own computer and stay there, unless you choose to point chat at a server of your own. There is no Mushroom account and no analytics. Weather, news and any tool plugins you add go online only for what they fetch, and file sharing and messages to a friend both arrive switched off. Optional iCloud sync keeps your own Macs in step through your own private iCloud, never through us. Anything that goes online says in plain words what it sends and where, and stays off for good if that is what you want. Small and well-behaved. Lives in your menu bar with no Dock icon. Signed, notarized, and it updates itself. Now on Windows too. The same license activates Mushroom on a Windows 11 PC, no second purchase. Free to try for 7 days, with no account and no card.
