Cue

Project intro

Cue is a free Mac app (Apple Silicon, macOS 14+) that turns your AirPods into a focus switch: put them in and your Mac turns on Focus mode, blocks distracting websites, and starts a timer; take them out and it is break time. Features include a notch timer, website blocking, Slack status sync, Pomodoro, and a buddy character that walks you through the tour. The maker is honest about how it was made. Brandon Ta, the author behind Brandon Ta Labs, launched Cue on Product Hunt on October 7, 2026, writing in the launch post: "Honest intro: I vibe-coded Cue with Claude." The Product Hunt page also carries the tag "Vibe-coded by one person and Claude." The app has already iterated to version 3.3 (October 2026), adding Slack status and playlists, and sits at 155+ followers with a "Featured on Product Hunt" badge (157 votes) on its own site. It is a tidy example of one person shipping a polished, hardware-integrated Mac utility without a team.
