a tiny Mac menu-bar app · $9 once
Step away. Keep working.
Running a long task or an AI agent and need to grab coffee — or just don't want the café reading your screen? Go AFK: your work keeps running behind a private cover, and you get a ping the moment it's done.
$9 once · no subscription · macOS 13+
Your task is still running. You shouldn't have to babysit it.
Close the lid and it sleeps. Leave it open and anyone walking by reads your screen. So you sit there, glancing at a terminal, waiting for an agent or a render or a build to finish.
AFK lets you actually walk away — and tells you when it's done.
Pick what to wait on
Nothing, a timer, or a process — type python, node, ffmpeg, your build. AFK watches it for you.
Go AFK (⌃⌘A)
Your screen fills with a calm cover so no one can read it. Your work keeps running behind it; the Mac won't sleep.
Get pinged when it's done
The moment your process exits or the timer ends, AFK notifies you with a sound. Come back, press any key, done.
Stays awake
A power assertion keeps your Mac (and optionally the screen) running while you're gone — no clamshell sleep killing your task.
Private cover
One hotkey throws a full-screen cover over every display. Shoulder-surfers see nothing; your work runs untouched behind it.
Ping when done
Watch a process or set a timer. AFK pings you the second it finishes — stop babysitting your agent or render.
Made for people who run things and walk away
