Foreground Keeps One Calendar Task in View

A small Mac timer reads your calendar, floats above other windows, and shows the task you should be doing plus the time remaining.

Why it surfaced

Foreground avoids the usual productivity trap of asking users to create another task list: it turns timed calendar events into a one-task-at-a-time countdown, then writes the time actually spent back to the calendar. Its copy is unusually candid about the constraints, including skipped meetings, the lack of full-screen support, and the fact that the young Mac app is not yet notarized.
