Gyus, it's so cool that you create something for families. With you good luck!
The notch is the one bit of my Mac I never look at, which is probably why this would land on me. The Mac apps I work on taught me reminders get muted by day 3. Does she back off when I'm on a call?
The 12-language thing is a nice touch most menu bar reminder apps skip entirely. Genuinely curious how it decides when to nag though - is it purely a timer, or does it try to notice you've been heads-down for a while before it interrupts? The apps that get this wrong just become another notification you dismiss on reflex.
You could have a lot of fun localizing this for different countries and cultures 🤭
I've known Rahul for a while and one of the things I admire about him is how he builds products for himself and ships them to the public. Maaa is a clear example of that.
Also lately he is killing it with building in public. Install Maaa and don't skip a thing :)
Let Rahul know if you have any feedback in the comments below.

Who hunted Maaa?
Maaa was hunted by Sharath Kuruganty. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
