Description
Quakpit is a macOS menu bar app that connects to your calendar and sends an animal-piloted plane flying across your screen before your meetings start. A duck, a dinosaur, a pigeon, a capybara, or a dog, your choice, cruises across your display towing a banner with your meeting name and how long you have left. Hard to ignore. Impossible to hate. Free to download & open source. Connect your calendar, pick your animal, never miss a meeting.
