brew install --cask 1930-dev/tap/mou-sugu Your Mac already knows your schedule — but checking it means opening an app, switching a window, or hunting for a tab while the meeting starts without you. Mou Sugu puts the one thing you actually care about where you are already looking: how long until your next meeting, and one click to join it.
in 12m: Standup, in 2h: 1:1, Now: Design review.
The menu bar updates every minute and rolls over to the next event on its own.
Detects Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex links and surfaces a Join button on your next call — plus a Rejoin button when you drop mid-meeting.
One click opens a clean popover with the rest of today’s events, color-coded to match each calendar.
Works with iCloud, Google Calendar, and Outlook. Toggle exactly which calendars feed the bar, and hide events you are marked free for.
SwiftUI through and through — translucent glass, SF Symbols, full light and dark mode, English and Spanish. Starts at login if you want it to.
Reads your calendar locally, runs in the App Sandbox, and talks to no server. No account, no analytics, no tracking. Read the privacy policy.
Mou sugu is what you say in Japanese when something is almost here — the train pulling in, the show about to start. It is the feeling of a countdown ticking in the corner of your screen: calm, punctual, never caught off guard. The red dot in the icon is your next meeting, rising.
Install Mou Sugu and grant calendar access when macOS asks. Your next event and a live countdown appear in the menu bar immediately — no window to open, no configuration required. Click the countdown to see the rest of your day.

Mou Sugu (もうすぐ) is Japanese for “almost here” — which is what the menu bar tells you all day: your next meeting, almost here.
Put the countdown where you can see it.
