Cue
Project Description
Cue is a tiny floating macOS overlay that automatically shows how much time is left in your current meeting and quietly signals when it's time to wrap up. Detects meetings from your calendar, shows countdown with color shifts (green → yellow → red), and warns you when the next meeting is approaching. No manual timer setup — just magic.
⚡ The Problem
Professionals constantly lose track of time in meetings. They overrun, rush the ending, or get cut off. Tools like Zoom or Teams only show elapsed time — not when you should start wrapping up or how long until the next commitment. The result: awkward endings, rushed pacing, and back-to-back collisions.
✨ Auto Meeting Timer
The killer feature: The timer automatically starts when a calendar event begins. No manual setup needed. Cue detects your current meeting via macOS EventKit and immediately shows the remaining time. It feels magical — you suddenly see the remaining meeting time without having done anything.
🎨 Floating Overlay
A minimal, transparent overlay that floats on top of everything — across all windows and Spaces. Click-through so it never blocks interactions. Shows meeting title and remaining time. Color shift signals status: green = plenty of time, yellow = start wrapping up, red = finish now.
⏭️ Next-Meeting Pressure
Cue shows not just the remaining time of the current meeting, but also how close your next appointment is. When it gets tight: warning. When the meeting runs into the next one: overflow indicator with red signal. This way Cue answers the most important question: "Will this meeting run into my next one?"
💰 Freemium
Cue Free: Manual timer, simple overlay, wrap-up color indicator. Cue Pro (one-time $9): Automatic calendar detection, next meeting warnings, presentation segment timers, keyboard shortcuts, and appearance customization.
🔒 Privacy
100% local on your Mac. Cue only reads your calendar events via macOS EventKit — no data leaves your device. No account, no tracking, no network traffic. The app only needs calendar access for meeting detection.
