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. BUILT FOR THE COMPLEX MOMENTS • Travel days, interviews, weddings, big dinners • Race day routines (marathons / ultras) • Weekly runs (classes, rehearsals, show nights) BUILD ONCE. REUSE FOREVER. Don't rebuild your packing list from scratch. Whether it's an annual ultramarathon or a weekly show, duplicate your perfect plan in seconds. Focus on the event, not the setup. NOTIFICATIONS THAT HAVE CONTEXT Get a reminder that tells you what to do and which event it's for (with your notes). PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Your data stays on your device. PAY ONCE. OWN IT FOREVER. No subscriptions. Build your perfect "Race Day" or "Travel" plan once, then duplicate it for every future event. Free: up to 2 active events. Pro ($9.99 one-time): unlimited events + share plans + duplicate events.
