Everything you need to stay focused

Built for people who want to be present in their meetings.

Real-time focus tracking

Every second counts. Your status updates instantly as you switch between apps — heads up, away, or idle.

Meeting-aware

Automatically detects Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams links from your calendar. Pre-selects the right apps.

Browser tab matching

Don't approve your whole browser. Heads Up matches individual tabs — only your meeting tab counts as focused.

Multiplayer accountability

Go heads up together. See who's focused and who's drifting. Session-end leaderboard ranks the team.

Auto-end on meeting leave

Close Zoom or leave your Google Meet tab? Heads Up detects it and ends your session automatically.

Session summary & stats

Detailed breakdown after every session: focus percentage, away time, app usage, keystroke counts, and longest streak.
