Why I Made Birdie
Hi, I鈥檓 Francesca 馃憢
I work a job where meetings pile up, and when I鈥檓 deep in something, I completely lose track of time.
Regular notifications never worked for me. I get so many that I end up muting them just to think, which, of course, means I miss the one reminder that actually matters.
So I built Birdie: a tiny bird that flies across my screen the moment a meeting starts. You can鈥檛 bury it under notifications, and it鈥檚 honestly too delightful to ignore.
After a few friends and coworkers started using it (and loving it), I decided to make it free and open source.
If you鈥檙e familiar with being perpetually three minutes late to meetings, ADHD, hyperfocus mode, or some combination of all three, I hope Birdie helps you stay on track, even just 1% more.
And if it makes you smile with the occasional bird fact, that鈥檚 a bonus. 馃惁
