A quiet safety net for macOS

When your Mac goes quiet, the people you trust hear from you.

If Quiet notices extended inactivity, keeps a remote deadline, and sends a personal message to each person you choose—without watching what you do.

Quietly dependable

It pays attention to absence—not your activity.

If Quiet asks macOS only how long the computer has been idle. It never records keys, clicks, apps, documents, or screen contents.

01 / LOCAL

Your Mac notices when you’re around.

Normal activity quietly refreshes your check-in. There is nothing to remember every day and nothing about your work is captured.

02 / REMOTE

The deadline lives somewhere else.

A minimal remote service holds the last confirmed deadline, so closing, losing, or damaging the Mac cannot silently stop the countdown.

03 / PERSONAL

Each person gets the right words.

Write one message for family and different messages for employers or customers. Test each address, or disable it without deleting anything.

Set it once

Your ordinary Mac activity does the checking in.

Choose a quiet window

Decide how long your Mac can go unused before the deadline is reached.

Add your people

Give every recipient their own email address, subject, and private plain-text message.

Send a real test

Confirm each route through the same delivery service before you depend on it.

Use your Mac normally

Recent activity advances the remote deadline. Pause whenever monitoring is not appropriate.

Private by design

Small footprint. Clear boundary.

A dead man’s switch should not become a surveillance product. If Quiet collects only what is needed to keep the deadline and deliver the messages you write.

“I’m still here” should be effortless—until saying it matters.

If Quiet is a backup plan, not an emergency service or a substitute for human check-ins.

A little peace of mind, sitting quietly in your menu bar.
