Product context
What Mushroom says it does
Official or maker-supplied product information. It is kept separate from buyer evidence and independent purchase verification.
Mushroom is a small pixel pet that sits on your desktop and looks after you while you work.
Most break reminders run on a clock, so they nag you right after a meeting you spent away from the desk and stay quiet through a three hour stretch that started at an odd time. Mushroom reads the Mac's idle timer instead: an hour at the desk earns a nudge, and time away counts as the break it already was. It needs no Accessibility or Input Monitoring permission.
What it does:
- Water and break reminders, on by default. Eye breaks (20-20-20), food, bedtime and a mood check-in are there when you want them.
- Start break turns a nudge into a few minutes of gentle stretches led by the pet, with a countdown that ends by itself. A break that comes due while you type waits for a pause.
- Click the pet to chat and set reminders in plain words, like "remind me in 2 hours to call Tom". Chat runs on your Mac with Apple Intelligence or a small model you download in the app.
- When a window fills the screen, the pet hops out of sight and comes back afterwards.
- Also a notepad, a Stash for links and files, stats, small games, and a companion for Claude Code and Codex that shows when an agent needs you.
No account and no tracking. Everything runs on your own Mac.
