Mushroom
A pixel pet that lives on your Mac or PC and reminds you to drink, move and rest your eyes. Free for 7 days, then $9.99. No account, and your day stays on your computer.
Mushroom is a tiny pixel creature that lives on your Mac or PC. It can tell when you are actually at the desk, so it nudges you to drink, move and rest your eyes at the moments that help, and stays quiet when they would not. Made for people who sit at a computer for hours. Developers, designers, writers, students, anyone whose focus is the problem and the job at the same time.

About Mushroom
Is Mushroom legit?
Mushroom was listed on IndieAppCircle in November 2026 by Alexander Slatina, who opened it to independent testers. 2 independent testers have used it since and had their feedback accepted by the maker. It is distributed through its own website at getmushroom.app. IndieAppCircle is a peer feedback exchange, not a paid-review site: testers earn credits only for feedback the maker accepts, and nobody is paid to be positive. We record what happened here; we do not vouch for a product's business practices.
What platforms does Mushroom run on?
Mushroom runs on macOS, Windows and iOS. The maker built it for a general audience.
Is Mushroom free?
Mushroom uses a one-time purchase. Plans start at $9.99.
Is Mushroom still looking for testers?
Yes. The maker pays 8 credits for each approved test. Sign in to IndieAppCircle, open the test instructions on this page, try the app and write up what worked, what confused you and what broke. Once the maker approves your feedback the credits are yours; feedback left unanswered for 48 hours is approved automatically.
How do testers review Mushroom on IndieAppCircle?
Testers are other indie developers. They open Mushroom, follow the maker's test instructions, and write up first impressions, confusing moments and bugs. The maker reads each write-up and either approves it — which pays the tester — or rejects it. Only approved feedback is counted on this page. There are no star ratings and IndieAppCircle pays nobody to review anything; it is a feedback exchange, not a review site.
