I’ve worked with many “Mittelstand” companies in Germany—often fourth-generation family businesses. Time and again, I’ve seen how the board and CEO go above and beyond to ensure their employees are taken care of, in both good times and bad. And when you talk to people working there, you can feel this mutual sense of loyalty reflected in their words.

I’m not saying this is common in the tech industry at all, but I can confirm that loyalty between a company (and yes, I’m deliberately using company over people here) and its employees does exist—on a broader scale and in the most positive sense. This doesn’t mean that hard, economical decisions don’t need to be made or that people live in a cloud of blind loyalty.

But there’s a lot of beauty and wellbeing in this dynamic, if you’re willing to explore it—and it’s definitely something I personally strive for.


Same!!


Very useful. Thank you! I’d suggest to place the time above the slider. I’m left handed and I’m covering the time when I adjust the slider.


Ah. Thanks Zach! Just changed this.


Thank you! We'll make changes asap.


:) Thank you!


Thanks for sharing! Do you plan to add this to the menu bar in the future?


Second that for a menu bar. Something to quickly glance up to see if I'm talking too much. PS, just downloaded, looks promising! Will try it and let you know.


Cool, thanks for giving it a spin, too!

If there are any issues with the installation/set up, please let me know. Happy to jump on a call as well (See the contact button on the site)


Hey there, you're very welcome.

I hadn't thought of the menu bar yet. How would you want that to work?


Ehm… side note… The notes look gorgeous


Thank you, always great to get praise from another hardware founder :)

Yes, you can hook it up to IFTTT and trigger IFTTT commands
