“Are you on the phone?”
I’ve worked from home for 15 years, and have heard this question from my wife or kids a thousand times. I made Status Light so they never have to ask again.
Status Light is a simple macOs menu bar app that detects when your camera or microphone is in use and triggers an Apple Shortcut to let the people around you know you’re busy.
That Shortcut can do whatever you want: turn on a smart light (make it red!), change your Focus, send a message, or anything else that helps keep kids, partners, parents, or roommates from wandering into frame to ask if you want a sandwich.
When you start a call, Status Light knows. When you end the call, it knows that too.
Download it on the App Store for $1 (and if you work at Automattic, ping me for a coupon).
