AccountyCat

What is AccountyCat?

AccountyCat is a focus companion for macOS that reads context instead of blocking lists. It sits in your menu bar, sees your active app and window title (and a screenshot only when needed), then quietly nudges when you drift. Sometimes YouTube is procrastination, sometimes it's the tutorial — AC tells the difference. Runs fully on-device with Qwen via llama.cpp, or with your own OpenRouter key. Open source, auditable, private. Interrupting legitimate work is treated as a bug.

AccountyCat — macOS focus app that understands screen context

AccountyCat is a macOS productivity app, not finance software. It watches the active app, window title, and only when needed a screenshot to detect distraction and nudge you back on task.
