Problem
Your team keeps founder hours
Launch pushes, customer demos, investor asks, and incident follow-ups do not stop at sunset. Your team may be small, but the screen time is not.
For startup teams on Mac
A tiny screen-comfort benefit for teams that ship late
ScreenMercy warms every Mac as the sun goes down and clears it by sunrise, tuned to each person's real horizon with optional auto-location or manual coordinates. It gives your team a little mercy during late launch pushes without adding another SaaS tool to manage.
No credit card. No employee accounts. Optional location, manual coordinates supported. No telemetry in the Mac app.
Agitate
Tiny teams feel every tired morning
When five people carry the roadmap, even one groggy standup or one foggy debugging session is expensive. You do not have the headcount to absorb avoidable drag.
Solution
One quiet utility for every Mac
ScreenMercy warms each display with the real local sunset and clears it by sunrise. Auto-location is optional, and coordinates can be typed manually. No accounts, no dashboard, no behavior change. Just a calmer screen at the hours startups actually work.
Why it fits startups
Care that does not slow the company down
The best startup benefits are inexpensive, visible, and easy to undo if they do not earn their place. ScreenMercy is exactly that: a lightweight Mac utility your team feels every evening, with no new behavior to teach.
Fast enough for founder-led teams
Start with a free pilot, roll it out to the team, and decide with real usage instead of another long vendor process.
A care signal people actually feel
ScreenMercy is visible every evening, but it asks nothing from your team. No habit app, no portal, no streak to maintain.
No telemetry in the product app
The Mac app makes no outbound network calls and collects no usage data, which keeps the security story simple while your company is still moving fast.
Grows from 5 seats to 50
Start with a handful of Macs, then move to team pricing, MDM rollout, and invoicing as the company grows.
Founder math
One clearer hour is worth more than the annual seat price
Your engineers, designers, and operators are expensive because their focus is expensive. A small annual seat cost only has to help a teammate reclaim a sliver of late-night comfort or next-morning clarity to make the decision easy.

FAQ
Startup questions, answered.
Is ScreenMercy worth it for a very small startup?
Yes. Starter pricing begins at 2 seats, and the setup burden is intentionally light. For small teams, the goal is a useful benefit without another system to administer.
Do employees need accounts?
No. ScreenMercy runs locally on each Mac. There are no employee accounts, no analytics dashboard, and no behavioral data collection.
Can we start before we have formal IT?
Yes. A founder or ops lead can start a pilot. As the team grows, ScreenMercy can move into MDM package deployment through Jamf, Kandji, Mosyle, Intune, or a similar Mac management platform.
Is this a wellness app?
It can support your wellness story, but it is simpler than most wellness apps. It is a Mac utility that warms screens in step with the natural day and asks nothing from employees.
