TouchGrass delays macOS break alerts during meetings

TouchGrass is a context-aware macOS break reminder that pauses notifications during meetings, calls, media playback, and screen recordings while counting time away as rest. Operating entirely on-device without requiring Accessibility permissions, it prompts users to blink, rest, and correct posture after prolonged focus sessions.

// ANALYSIS

By replacing blunt timer interruptions with local context detection, TouchGrass offers a friction-free ergonomic reminder system for macOS users.

–Privacy-first architecture operates entirely on-device without requiring invasive Accessibility permissions.
–Contextual awareness prevents annoying break alerts during active video calls, meetings, media playback, or screen recordings.
–Smart break tracking automatically logs off-screen time as rest, eliminating manual timer resets.
–Transparent pricing model ($3.99 one-time purchase with lifetime updates after a 7-day trial) provides strong value over subscription models.
