AwaySitter
A quiet desk-sitter for when you step away
What it does
Step away and your status dot goes yellow. AwaySitter waits until you're truly idle, keeps small human-like activity going — randomized, no metronome — and pauses the instant you're back. Portable, 100% local, zero telemetry. 3-day trial, $12.99 once.
A quiet desk-sitter for Windows: when you
AwaySitter is the sitter for your desk while you step away. When you're genuinely idle it makes small, human-like mouse moves — curved, unhurried, never a metronome — so your status stays active and your session doesn't drop. Touch the mouse and it stops on the spot. Local, no telemetry, nothing to set up. No scripting, no schedules to build. Go on duty and AwaySitter waits, quietly. Only after you've really been idle does it start its gentle micro-activity — and the moment you're back, or you press F8 , it hands the desk straight back to you. Everything a presence keeper should do, done gently. No accounts, no cloud, no “suite”. Micro-moves follow curved paths with real noise on position…from awaysitter.com

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
