I kept missing meetings — not because I didn't have a calendar, but because the calendar wasn't where my eyes were. So one weekend I built a tiny menu-bar app that flies my next meeting across the top of the screen on a little plane, with a live countdown and one-click join. I built it for myself, and I use it every single day — so I'm open-sourcing it for anyone else who lives in their menu bar. It's free, it's MIT, there's no Pro tier, no account, no catch. If it ever saves you from a missed call, you can buy me a coffee. Completely optional.
