I needed a timer. Could've downloaded one in 10 seconds. Instead I spent way too long building one because I thought it'd be fun to add my own touch. It's called Tug. It's a 🐸 in your menu bar. The fun part isn't really the timer, it's the frog: • It watches your cursor. Move around, it follows you. • When you pull on it, you can see on its face it does not like that. • You feel a little haptic tap on the trackpad when you do it. It does also work as a timer.
Hey PH 👋
I needed a timer. Could've downloaded one in 10 seconds. Instead I spent way too long building Tug because I thought it'd be fun to add my own touch.
It's a frog 🐸 that lives in your menu bar. The frog watches your cursor, dislikes being pulled, and taps the trackpad when you do it. The tug + haptic combo was the most fun thing to build.
It does also work as a timer, pomodoro built in, no accounts, no sync, no Pro tier.
Happy to answer anything about the build, the frog's emotional range, or why I made this instead of using a timer.
