Products & Services
A paid macOS app that schedules and orchestrates real Claude Code sessions locally via launchd, manages projects and run history, keeps the Mac awake during work, and supports remote one-off dispatch through Telegram or Slack. Version 1.4.0 is offered as a notarized DMG for macOS 14+.
A free MIT-licensed, Python-standard-library-only plugin that observes Claude Code sessions locally, maintains a browser dashboard at localhost:8787, provides project/review views and a /overboard assistant, and includes scheduler/dispatcher functionality.
Market Position
Overboard positions itself between Anthropic's cloud Routines and simpler local scheduling options such as /loop and Claude Desktop scheduled tasks. Its differentiator is persistent, local, subscription-based execution on the user's own Mac with access to local files, browser sessions, tools, and visible/interruption-capable Herdr sessions; relevant alternatives include Anthropic Desktop tasks/Routines, cron or launchd scripts, and cloud coding-agent products such as Cursor, Codex, Devin, and Jules.
Leadership
Founders
Mark Rieck
Indie-hacker/product builder behind Productive Mark LLC and the mrieck GitHub account; he describes the Productive Mark repository as a collection of tools he built for Claude Code users and is credited as its principal contributor. His public profile lists Chicago and a prior project, StartFlow (startflowapp.com).
Executive Team
Mark Rieck
Founder / creator
Indie hacker and product builder associated publicly with Productive Mark LLC, the mrieck GitHub account, and the StartFlow project; he is the principal public contributor behind the Productive Mark Claude Code plugin marketplace.
Founding Story
The project was started to solve the gap between cloud background agents and local work that needs a user's own Mac, files, logged-in browser sessions, local tools, and subscription-based Claude Code access. The initial vision was to turn a Mac into a persistent, visible night shift for recurring Claude Code work rather than require a cloud VM or an open desktop app.
Business Model
Revenue Model
The Mac app is sold as a one-time license through Polar, with use of the user's existing Claude Pro or Max plan rather than an Overboard API or usage subscription. The Overboard Claude Code plugin is free and MIT-licensed.
Pricing Tiers
14-day full trial; one purchase activates up to 3 Macs; 1 year of updates is included and the purchased version continues working afterward.
MIT-licensed plugin with no API key requirement.
