In the menu bar
AFK lives in the menu bar, with no Dock icon.
AFK
Takes focus away from an app on your list when you have not touched the keyboard or mouse for a while, and gives it back the moment you return.

Step away, come back
Per-application timeouts
Give each app on your list its own timeout, from 10 seconds to 1 hour, in a settings window that shows each app’s icon.
Timer window
While you are away, a small window shows the time since your last input.
Focus comes back
The moment you interact again, the timer window goes away and focus returns to the app it came from.
Automatic updates
New releases reach you on their own.
Universal and notarized
Runs on Apple silicon and Intel, and every release is notarized.
What’s new
1.0.1
Fixed
- While the timer shows, the menu bar belongs to AFK instead of the application it took focus from, and Screen Time counts that time towards AFK. AFK's Dock icon shows for as long as the timer does.
1.0.0
Added
- AFK takes focus from a listed application once you stop interacting, and shows a timer with the time since your last input.
- Any keyboard, mouse or scroll input hides the timer and returns focus to the application AFK took it from.
- A menu bar item with a settings window: add applications with their icons and choose each one's timeout.
- Automatic updates through Sparkle, and a Check for Updates item in the menu bar.
