Your day, at a glance.
A quiet ring in your menu bar fills as your next meeting approaches. One glance tells you how long you have — no clock math, no anxious tab-switching to your calendar.
Open the dropdown for the full day: what's next, what's later, and how much room you have in between.
Impossible to miss.
A gentle card slides in before the meeting. When it starts, Heads Up takes over your whole screen — every monitor, if you like — until you join, snooze, or dismiss.
Choose exactly which reminders fire: 15, 10, 5, or 2 minutes before, and at start. Press Esc to dismiss any of them.
One click to join.
Heads Up finds the meeting link buried in the invite — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, or any other link — and puts a Join button everywhere a reminder appears.
Works with anything in the macOS Calendar app — iCloud, Google, Outlook, and Exchange accounts.
All-day events, declined invites, and "free" blocks are filtered out, so reminders only fire for meetings you'll actually attend.
Turn on "Launch when I log in" once, and Heads Up is quietly watching your calendar every time you sit down.
Private by design.
Heads Up reads your calendar on your Mac to find your next meeting — and does nothing else with it. The only network activity is your browser opening a link when you click Join.
One price. Yours forever.
A single purchase on the Mac App Store — less than a year of a subscription reminder app, and you never pay again. No account, no upsells; just an app that gets you to your meetings.
Download on the Mac App Store Requires macOS 13 or later.I built Heads Up because I kept missing meetings — not from not caring, but because I'd get deep into something and look up too late. Every reminder I tried was too easy to ignore, so I made the one I actually needed: a countdown I can glance at, and a reminder that takes over the screen when it matters. It reads your calendar on your Mac and does nothing else with it — and it's a one-time purchase, because I didn't want to charge you every month to be reminded of your own meetings.
