Pawcus
Pet-powered meeting reminders
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
A friendly companion takes over your screen before every meeting, with a live countdown and one tap into the call. Try the first 20 alerts for free.
Missed another meeting? Pawcus takes over your entire screen right before it starts, so there is nothing to scroll past and nothing to dismiss by reflex. Built for ADHD, time blindness, and deep-focus work. Join the call in one tap without opening your calendar.
Ordinary notifications slide in and slide away, unseen. Pawcus does not ask for your attention — it takes the screen, with a friendly pet counting down beside you.
HOW IT WORKS
- A companion fills the whole screen before every meeting, with a live countdown
- Reads the meeting link straight from the event, so joining is a single tap
- Push the alert back a few minutes when you need to
- Pick the companion and lead time for each event, or set a default once
- Choose which calendars trigger alerts
- Lives in the menu bar: no Dock icon, no window in your way
FEATURES
- Full-screen alerts for meetings and for Apple Reminders
- A cast of built-in companions
- Bring your own pet: drop in any transparent video
- Focus sessions in five rhythms: Pomodoro, 52/17, Ultradian, Flowtime, and Manual

- Upcoming events at a glance from the menu bar
A COMPANION, NEVER A POP-UP
Pawcus fills the alert with a friendly animal instead of a grey dialog, so being interrupted feels warm rather than jarring. Prefer your own pet? Drop in a transparent video and they take the job instead. It stays on your Mac; nothing is uploaded.
IT NEVER LEAVES YOUR MAC
No sign-up, no account. Your calendar and reminders stay on the device. The only data collected is anonymous usage counts, and one click in Settings turns that off.
TRY IT FREE
Your first 20 alerts are free, with no account and no card. Pawfect Plan then unlocks unlimited alerts, monthly or yearly.
