Minute Left — Don't miss your meeting. Again.

The problem · built for ADHD brains

It's not forgetfulness.
It's a four-step ritual.

You don't decide to miss the meeting. It happens to you, the same way, every single time:

The notification appeared. You dismissed it.

Not on purpose. Your hand just did it. Muscle memory. You didn't even read what it said — you were in the middle of something.

You went back to what you were doing.

Hyperfocus activated. Time stopped existing. Twenty minutes passed in what felt like four. Not a character flaw — just how your brain works.

The meeting started. Without you.

Someone sent "are you joining?" in Slack. Then your manager sent it. Then the chat went quiet in that specific way that means everyone noticed.

You joined 9 minutes late. Camera off.

"Sorry, lost track of time." You've said this sentence eleven times this month. You need something that doesn't ask for your attention — it takes it.

A notification asks politely.
Minute Left takes the whole screen.

Why it's different

The parts nobody else ships.

Muscle memory, defeated

Conscious dismiss.

A reflex click does nothing now. To make it go away you hold — one deliberate second. Long enough to make it a decision, not the autopilot swipe that got you here. Try it:

The price

$10. once.

Everyone else rents your attention by the month or the year. We want ten dollars, once — then we'd genuinely like to leave you alone forever.

By default

Minimalist.

One screen, one obvious move — Join. Snooze and dismiss stay out of the way, and there's no settings maze to get lost in.

By force

Beats Do Not Disturb.

It's a window, not a notification — so macOS can't suppress it during the exact deep-work moment you need it most.

Personality, optional but recommended

Four ways to
be interrupted.

Same takeover, four moods. Flip between them anytime in Preferences — pick the one you'll least resent seeing at 9:59.

What it does

Designed to interrupt you.
On purpose.

Fullscreen takeover

Covers your entire screen. Every pixel. There is no corner to look away to. This is the point.

Audio alert

Makes a sound. Even with headphones. Even in deep flow state. Especially then.

One-click join

Detects Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex — and 10+ more — from your calendar. Press Join. You're in. No searching. Hotkeys supported.

Conscious dismiss

You hold the button (or Esc) to dismiss. One second of friction — just enough to make it a decision, not a reflex.

Custom timing & snooze

Alert 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes early. Snooze if you need five more minutes to finish whatever that was.

Second alert at start

One nudge before it starts. Another the second it actually does — for when "I'll join in a minute" quietly becomes nine.

Menu-bar countdown

Your next meeting, always visible. "Standup · 12 min." No opening Calendar, no hunting for the time. Just glance up.

Reads calendar on-device

Google, iCloud, Outlook — whatever syncs to macOS Calendar. Nothing leaves your Mac. We never see your meetings.

"I built Minute Left to stop apologizing for missing calls while staring at my screen. To kill the anxiety of being late, I put the countdown right in the menu bar."

Questions

Things people actually ask.

Will I receive updates?+

Yes, as long as people are interested in the app, updates will be released. So don't forget to recommend Minute Left to your forgetful friend ;)

Will macOS complain about the app?+

No. It's signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple — double-click and it opens, same as anything from the App Store. No right-click dance, no "unidentified developer" scare.

Does it work with Google, Outlook, Apple Calendar?+

Yes. Minute Left reads from your macOS Calendar app, which syncs with Google, Outlook, and iCloud. If it's in your calendar, Minute Left finds it. If it's not in your calendar, that's a you problem.

Will it join meetings automatically?+

No. It finds the link and shows you a button. You still have to click it. We can't do everything.

Which meeting apps does Join work with?+

Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, Whereby, Jitsi, Discord, GoToMeeting, and more — if there's a link in the event, it usually finds it. And even when it doesn't recognize the service, the alert still fires for every meeting. You just won't miss it.

How does the free trial work?+

Download, leave your email, no card. You get 7 full days with every feature and every theme. On day 8 the alerts stop firing — you'll notice immediately. Open the app, click "Unlock", pay $10 once, alerts come back. Done forever.
