Description
You dismiss reminders. You don't ignore a pet. Mushroom is a tiny pixel creature that lives on your Mac. It can tell when you are actually at the desk, so it nudges you to drink, move and rest your eyes at the moments that help, and stays quiet when they would not. Made for people who sit at a Mac for hours. Developers, designers, writers, students, anyone whose focus is the problem and the job at the same time.

Could you build this?
Yes A macOS menu bar / desktop pet app using standard Cocoa/Swift APIs to monitor idle time/camera presence and display pixel animations is well within vibe-coding capabilities.
