Ever feel mentally drained but can't explain why? Cognitive Load Meter watches four signals in the background and turns them into a single Focus Score — so you always know when your brain is overloaded before burnout hits.
HOW IT WORKS
Cognitive Load Meter lives quietly in your menu bar. No windows, no distractions. Glance up, see your score. That's it.
Every 5 seconds it measures:
• App Switches - how often you jump between apps. Constant context switching is the #1 killer of deep work.
• Window Clutter - the number of open windows on screen. Visual noise raises stress even when you're not looking at it.
• Idle Fragmentation - how many short "distraction breaks" you've taken. Frequent micro-interruptions shatter your flow state.
These four signals combine into a Cognitive Stress Score from 0 to 100:
- 0-24: Focused & calm - you're in the zone
- 25-49: Moderate switching - still productive
- 50-74: High load - consider a break
- 75+: Overloaded - step away
WORKFLOW MAP
See exactly how you move through your Mac. Cognitive Load Meter builds a live chain of your recent app switches - Xcode → Safari → Slack → Xcode - and automatically flags wasted loops where you keep bouncing between the same two apps. It even suggests workflow improvements based on your patterns.
HISTORY
A built-in bar chart shows your stress score over the past 24 hours, updated every minute. Spot the times of day when your load peaks and plan your deep work sessions around them.
