An Apple-Zen inspired experiment in ambient geospatial mindfulness. Reclaim your focus from the digital vortex.
You don't need to look at your phone to use HeadsUp. With your phone in your pocket, press the physical volume buttons when you notice digital absence. The device ticks silently to acknowledge.
Look around. Catch yourself or others mindlessly scrolling.
Observe screenlessly. No screens, no logs, no distraction.
A gentle haptic vibration confirms. Return to the present.
Designed with Apple-Zen principles, built with robust local-first engineering.
No exact coordinates. The app translates coordinates into 5km wide Geohash grids to respect your absolute privacy.
Zero database servers. Real-time synchronization is written directly to a Google Spreadsheet owned and controlled by you.
Designed to function fully offline. Tap events are securely stored in a local Room database and synced once online.
HeadsUp is self-published. Installing it takes just a minute and ensures complete data sovereignty.
