What it is
A useful product, still close enough to shape.
Replaceme is a native macOS menu bar app for ambient communication triage. It watches Apple Mail, iMessage and SMS, Calendar, and macOS notifications while your Mac is awake, then filters the noise against your own instructions.
When something genuinely needs you, Replaceme sends a single concise report through iMessage. When nothing matters, it stays silent. The private beta is testing whether people can stop checking every inbox during focus time, meetings, and time away from the screen.
The app reads through native Apple frameworks and local databases rather than taking over the screen. The beta includes guided permission setup, per-channel status, scheduled scans, catch-up after wake, and direct access to the founder for feedback.
What you’ll get
- Free access throughout the private beta
- Direct input into triage, onboarding, and notification behavior
- Early access to new channels and future action workflows
