Are you the one who has to decide again today? Since this morning, you have already chosen, thought, considered everyone else, and made one decision after another. When the day is finally almost over, one last question still remains: what should we eat today? The truth is, you do not have the energy to think about it anymore. But when you ask someone else, the answer is often, β€œAnything is fine.” When you suggest something, you may hear, β€œNot that.” And when you are alone, you end up choosing the same familiar thing again. Time passes while you remain unable to decide. Eventually, you open an expensive food delivery app because you are too tired to keep thinking. You forget that there is already food in the refrigerator. You forget the restaurant you wanted to try and the meal you meant to cook. And in the end, you eat the same thing again. Once or twice does not seem like a serious problem. But when it happens every day, a quiet feeling begins to build: you are no longer choosing how you live. Your exhaustion is choosing for you. You spend more money. Food goes to waste. You eat the same things over and over. The question β€œWhat should we eat?” begins to drain you all by itself. Then you feel a little frustrated with yourself for being unable to make such a simple decision. That does not mean you are indecisive. Maybe you have simply made too many decisions already today. So at least this final decision can be released. MealDrift chooses one meal for today from the options you saved when you had more energy, helping the tired version of you at the end of the day. You do not have to give up your own tastes. And you do not have to leave everything to pure chance. Save the dishes you love, restaurants you visit often, meals you cook at home, leftovers, and anything you would genuinely be happy to eat. Then let the app choose one of those options for today. You are not making the decision yourself. But the result still feels like yours. No more: β€œFine, I guess we’ll just have this.” Instead: β€œYes. This is what we’re eating today.” You do not have to be the only person who decides every night. You do not have to order delivery just because you could not choose. You do not have to forget what is in the refrigerator and throw it away later. You do not have to blame yourself for choosing the same thing again. You are not preparing MealDrift only for who you are today. You are leaving options for who you will be tomorrow, when there is no energy left to think. MealDrift is a small safety net for your meals, left behind for your tired future self. You no longer need to spend the last of your energy just deciding what to eat today.

About

StickyPresenterRemote

Features
Read full description

StickyPresenterRemote is the iPhone companion to StickyPresenter for Mac. While you present, your Mac is out of reach β€” this puts the timer controls in your hand. This is not a standalone app. It needs StickyPresenter running on a Mac on the same Wi-Fi network. WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ See the countdown β€” remaining time, progress, and the Pomodoro phase with its cycle number, updated every second β€’ Start, pause, and reset β€’ Add or subtract 30 seconds when a section runs long β€’ Start a new timer from 3, 5, 10, and 15 minute presets β€’ Resize the widget β€” S, M, or L β€” so it reads from the back of the room β€’ Move the widget by dragging it on a miniature of your Mac's screen layout. If it covers a slide, move it off without touching your Mac. With a second display, drag it across to the other screen. β€’ Hide the widget from your audience, pull a lost one back next to the panel, or delete the timer HOW IT CONNECTS The two apps find each other over your local network and talk directly, with no account to create and no server in the middle. Nothing is sent over the internet. You enter a code only once. Open the app, pick your Mac from the list, and type the four-digit code shown on the Mac under menu bar timer icon β†’ Remote. From then on it connects on its own whenever you open it. In a room where several Macs are running StickyPresenter, the remote only ever reaches the one it is paired with. If it can't find your Mac, the app shows a checklist of the usual causes. PRIVACY No account, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. Only timer information and the commands you tap are exchanged, and only with your paired Mac. Your sticky notes and teleprompter scripts are never sent to the iPhone. REQUIREMENTS β€’ iPhone with iOS 17 or later β€’ A Mac running StickyPresenter on the same Wi-Fi network β€’ Local Network permission allowed on both devices
