drift: A macOS screen cover that keeps your Mac awake — so builds and AI agents keep running while you step away.
// Overview

What we built

A menu-bar app for engineers who run long builds, downloads, and AI coding agents. One shortcut covers every display with a lock screen and blocks input without sleeping the Mac, so work keeps running while the screen stays private. Pro watches tools like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and Copilot and tells you which one needs your attention.
