What it does

A meeting-aware app, not another timer.

Six things working together so you land between meetings with your head intact.

  • Today

    A calm dashboard of meetings, blocks, recoveries, and your live meeting load — at a glance.

  • 30 recovery cards

    Eyes, breath, posture, movement, focus, re-entry. Twenty to ninety seconds — chosen to fit the load.

  • Rules that quiet noise

    Skip stand-ups by title. Override mode for interviews. Calendar invites stop driving your day.

  • Weekly insights

    Hardest weekday. Coverage. The one change worth making this week. Patterns, not vanity charts.

  • Always one click away

    Lives in your menu bar. Quick reset, pause, silent — without opening a window.

  • Stays on your Mac

    No accounts. No sync. EventKit reads only the calendars you turn on. Export or delete anytime.

How it works

From calendar to calmer landing.

Three short steps. After that, the app stays out of the way until it has a real reason to help.

  1. 01

    Pick the calendars

    EventKit reads only the calendars you turn on. Microphone and camera stay off until you ask for them.

  2. 02

    Let it watch the day

    Meeting Recovery learns your blocks, your meeting types, and what counts as a real call versus calendar noise.

  3. 03

    Take the reset that fits

    When load is real, a card appears with the right intensity. Twenty seconds. Capture the next action. Back to work.

One card · three stages

A short, deliberate handoff.

Start. Reset. Capture the one next action. The thread holds while you exhale.

From the beta

Less of you, following you forward.

Early users describe the same thing: a quieter handoff between meetings, and a day that doesn't compound.

  • “Other tools yell at me every 90 minutes. This one waits, then nudges at exactly the moment I'd otherwise sit there blinking.”

  • “I've tried six 'wellbeing' apps. Meeting Recovery is the first one I haven't muted in a week. Calmer Tuesdays. That's the whole pitch.”

  • “The privacy story alone got me to install it — local-first, no accounts. The 30-second eye reset between back-to-back interviews kept me on it.”
