Tell Nemesis what you are supposed to be doing. Be specific enough that your Mac can judge you.

Start Focus

Monitoring is opt-in and session-based. No focus session, no monitoring.

Get roasted

If you wander off, Nemesis interrupts with a blunt overlay and voice. Subtlety was fired.

Privacy

Nemesis watches only when you ask it to.

Session-based

Nemesis is inactive until you click Start Focus. End Focus stops monitoring.

No server archive

Release builds do not store screenshots, URLs, window titles, goals, or roast text on Nemesis servers.

Transient screenshots

Screenshots are used only when context is too vague and only during active focus sessions.

Payments by Polar

Polar handles checkout and cards. Nemesis does not process or store card details.
