The meeting alarm
that barks.
Tug is a border collie who lives in your menu bar. He chimes early, counts down at the top of your screen, and takes the whole display when it is time. He stops the moment you join.

Works with what you already use
Your calendars. Your meeting apps.
sheepdog reads every calendar macOS Calendar knows about, and signs in to Microsoft directly for the ones it does not show. When it is time, Join opens the link it found in the invite, straight into the Zoom or Teams app.

Hold my place
Pick up right where you left off.
Type what you were in the middle of before you jump in. When the meeting ends, Tug hands it back. Notes stay on your Mac and clear themselves at 4 a.m. after they are returned.
He knows when you are off
Quiet when you want quiet.
Working hours
Overnight shifts work too. Outside your hours Tug stays silent, goes quiet, or barks anyway.
Nap
The menu bar glyph shows he is asleep, so you never forget.
Running late
From the alarm, pick Running late or Can't make it. sheepdog copies the message and opens the meeting's Slack channel.
Themes
Eleven ways to dress him.
Every theme is a color set checked for contrast. Pick one and this whole page changes, including the alarm above. The app uses the same names.
