Heads Up Mate for macOS
Never be late to a meeting again.
The immersive, fullscreen companion that gives you a heads-up exactly when you need it. No more missed alerts, no more awkward "is this link working?" scrambles.
The "Standard Alert" Failure
Why the system calendar isn't enough for deep flow.
Too Subtle
A small notification in the corner is easy to bury under Slack pings and browser tabs.
Too Late
By the time the 1-minute alert fires, you're already late to the link.
Wait, which one?
Some meetings need 10 minutes of prep; others just need a 30-second warning.
Fullscreen Focus
Gentle, yet impossible to ignore. When it's time to prep, Heads Up Mate takes over your screen with a beautiful, immersive gradient. It stops the "just one more email" cycle and gets you in the zone.
Intelligent "Remind Me"
Snooze that actually makes sense. Choose between "Remind me in..." (durations) or "Remind me at..." (absolute times). The app is smart enough to filter out past times and only give you options that fit before your meeting starts.
One-Click Entry
From alert to meeting in one second. Automatic detection of Zoom, Teams, Meet, and Webex links. The "Join Meeting" button is front and center the moment the alert appears.
Precision Scheduling
Down to the second. No 30-second delays. Our precision timer system ensures your alert hits exactly when you scheduled it, not whenever the calendar feels like refreshing.
Build your environment
Your alert, your style. Designed to match your workspace vibe.
🎨 Color Palettes
Purple, Dark, Blue, Red, Green, or Orange. Choose the one that signals "meeting time" to your brain.
🌓 Adjustable Opacity
Keep it subtle with a translucent wash or make it a full blackout for deep focus sessions.
🕒 Corner Clock
A subtle current time display in the top-right, so you don't lose track of the real world while you prep.
Your data stays in your hands.
Locally Managed
Heads Up Mate talks directly to your macOS Calendar. No middle-man servers, No data tracking.
Native Experience
Built with SwiftUI for a lightweight, fast, and battery-efficient experience on macOS.
Built by a user
Designed to solve a real frustration. No bloat, no ads, just a tool that works the way it should.
