Why it helps

Meetings end. The load often doesn’t.

Back-to-backs. Context fog. A high meter that won't come down on its own. A short, deliberate reset is what turns 82 into 28.

Why it helps: back-to-backs, context fog, and high load before a reset; short reset, capture one action, back to focus after — Meeting Load drops from 82 high to 28 low
What it does

A meeting-aware app, not another timer.

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

  • Screenshot of Today

    Today

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

  • Screenshot of 30 recovery cards

    30 recovery cards

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

  • Screenshot of Rules that quiet noise

    Rules that quiet noise

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

  • Screenshot of Weekly insights

    Weekly insights

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

  • Screenshot of Always one click away

    Always one click away

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

    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.

How it works infographic — pick the calendars, let it watch the day, take the reset that fits

    Pick the calendars

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

    Let it watch the day

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

    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.
