Stop doing mental math. LeadUp is a dynamic timeline for the moments that matter. Ordinary checklists are static. If your start time changes, they break. LeadUp anchors every step to your event time. If plans change, shift the event once, and your entire prep timeline updates automatically. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Plan Backward: Set steps like "2 hours before" or "15 minutes before." • Auto-Shift: Flight delayed? Change one time, and every step moves with it. • Zero Math: Stop calculating "Okay, if I need to be there at 5, I need to leave at..." LeadUp does it for you.
