Twelve group chats. One list. Between the thumbs-ups and thank-yous, there is always something you need to do. Bring fruit to hockey. Send a client a quote. Sign up for the members meeting. HeadsUp reads along in your chats and every morning lists what you need to do, bring, pay or arrange. FROM CHAT TO ACTION • Your list every morning, in the app and in your inbox • A notification as soon as something new is for you • A reminder on the day it needs to happen • A badge on the app icon with what is still open • Tap a task to see who said what and why it is for you • Match moved or cancelled? Your list updates by itself WHO IT'S FOR • Family: school, sports, birthdays and class parents. Fruit for Sunday's match, money for Thursday's school trip. • Work and IT: "Could you shut down the test environment today?" between deploys and memes. • Clients: a quote, a change or a callback request in a client group. • Recruitment: candidates and hiring managers waiting for a reply. • Clubs and neighbourhood: boards, teams, residents' associations and the neighbourhood chat. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with your email. You get a code, no password. 2. Link WhatsApp as a linked device, with a code you enter in WhatsApp. 3. Choose which chats HeadsUp may read. The rest stays untouched. 4. Your list every morning, plus a nudge when something is for you. CAREFUL WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MESSAGES • HeadsUp only reads along and never sends messages • Only the chats you switch on, and only text, no photos • Raw messages are deleted after 14 days, your list stays • AI only through providers that store or reuse nothing • Delete your account in the app and everything is gone right away HeadsUp is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.
