I shipped a Mac app whose whole value is three numbers I got wrong first

Meanwhile covers your screen while your coding agent works, and lets go the moment it's done. Six seconds in, a full-screen overlay shows what the agent is doing and how long it's been going. Hold two seconds to leave. After five minutes it hands the screen back and the menu bar carries the run. The build was a weekend. The tuning was not, and that's the actual post. 6s delay. My first version appeared instantly. It fires on every three-second reply and you hate it insid

AI 分析

痛点：开发者让 AI 编码 agent 长时间运行，需要知道进度和完成状态，但全屏或频繁弹窗会打断工作、占据屏幕。

目标用户：在 macOS 上使用 Claude Code 等 AI 编码 agent 的开发者，尤其是长时间运行任务的独立开发者和程序员。

证据：Pricing is the part I'm least sure about: $19 one-time, 14-day trial, no subscription. The argument I landed on is "you could build this yourself in a weekend, and at $19 it isn't worth your weekend" — which is either honest or a reason not to buy, and I can't tell which from the inside.

变现：$19 一次性买断 + 14 天试用；后续可做 Pro 版支持更多 agent、跨平台、团队共享状态，或改为年订阅。

MVP：2 周内做一个 macOS 菜单栏应用：检测 Claude Code/终端任务是否运行，显示极简浮层进度与已用时间，任务结束自动收起并通知；实现 6 秒延迟出现、2 秒长按消失、5 分钟交还屏幕，支持手动关闭。

竞品：Meanwhile（原帖产品）、terminal-notifier 等终端通知工具、tmux/终端任务状态监控、Raycast 扩展、Bartender 等菜单栏工具、Warp/VS Code 任务通知

摘要：作者发布了一款 macOS 应用 Meanwhile，覆盖屏幕显示 Claude Code agent 进度，任务完成后自动交还屏幕。核心调参为 6 秒延迟、2 秒长按关闭、5 分钟交还，采用 19 美元一次性买断 + 14 天试用，但作者明确表示对定价最不确定，没有披露收入或用户付费反馈。
