Problem
Remote teams do not share one sunset
A fixed 6 p.m. schedule works for almost nobody when your Mac fleet spans coasts, countries, daylight savings changes, and travel weeks.
For distributed engineering teams
Screen comfort that follows every teammate's own sunset
ScreenMercy warms each remote Mac based on the real sky around that person, not a headquarters schedule. Your team can work across time zones without forcing one screen rhythm on everyone.
Local sun math. Optional location. Manual coordinates supported. No telemetry in the Mac app.
Agitate
Headquarters time can punish everyone else
One teammate is starting the day while another is winding down. If screen warmth follows the office clock instead of the person, it feels wrong half the time.
Solution
Each display follows its own horizon
ScreenMercy uses real local sun position for each Mac, through optional auto-location or manually entered coordinates, so every teammate gets a screen that warms and clears where they actually are.
Product fit
Distributed teams need personal timing, not one blunt policy
Remote work makes screen timing more personal. A fixed schedule cannot respect seasons, latitude, travel, or time zones. ScreenMercy gives the company a standard tool while giving each teammate a local experience.
Real sun, not HQ time
ScreenMercy follows each person's local sunrise, sunset, and twilight instead of a single office schedule. Auto-location is optional, and coordinates can be set manually.
Works when people travel
Remote teammates can use macOS Location Services or set coordinates manually. Either way, location stays on the Mac.
No central tracking
The product app makes no outbound network calls. Auto-location is optional, and no location or usage telemetry is sent back to the company.
Simple to standardize
Give every remote Mac the same thoughtful default while still respecting the real sky around each person.

FAQ
Remote-team questions, answered.
Why is ScreenMercy especially relevant for remote teams?
Remote teams work across different daylight cycles. ScreenMercy follows each teammate's local sunrise and sunset using optional auto-location or manually entered coordinates, so the experience is personal rather than tied to headquarters time.
Does ScreenMercy send employee location to the company?
No. Auto-location is optional. If used, location stays on the Mac and is used locally for solar math. Employees can also type coordinates manually. The product app makes no outbound network calls.
Can remote employees avoid location permission?
Yes. They can type coordinates manually and never grant location permission.
Can IT still manage defaults for a distributed fleet?
Yes. Teams can deploy ScreenMercy and manage defaults through MDM while each Mac still follows its own local sun position.
