AFK
Step away — your AI agent keeps running, screen private
Running an AI agent or a long task and need to step away? Go AFK (Ctrl-Cmd-A): your work keeps running behind a private full-screen cover, your Mac stays awake, and you get a ping the moment your process or timer finishes. $9 once, no subscription.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 Solo dev here.
I kept running Claude Code agents for 20–30 min and just… sitting there. Couldn't close the lid (it'd sleep), couldn't walk away in a café (screen's right there). So I built AFK.
Hit ⌃⌘A and:
• 🔋 your Mac stays awake — the task keeps running
• 🫥 a private cover hides every screen — no one reads your work
• 🔔 you get pinged the second your process (python, ffmpeg, your agent) or timer finishes
Tiny native menu-bar app, runs entirely on your Mac. $9 once, no subscription.
What do you run and walk away from? Replying to everyone today 🙏
