Stay focused for 30 days. Get your money back.
Heads Down is a $30-a-month Mac app that keeps you on task. Hit your focus goal every day in your billing cycle and the entire month is automatically refunded.
Launching soon. We'll email you when it's ready.
30 days, 30 dollars, automatic.
Each calendar day “locks” once you complete 25+ minutes of focused work at 70%+ on task. Lock every day in your billing cycle and the entire $30 is credited back to your card on renewal day.
The refund weight is back-loaded, so the last week of your cycle counts for more than the first. One cheat day is forgiven each cycle. No claims to file, no support emails to write.
Built to be invisible until you need it.
1. State your goal
Open the menu-bar popover, type what you're trying to get done, and start a session.
2. We watch your tabs
Every five seconds, Heads Down checks the URL of your active browser tab against your goal. No page contents, no keystrokes, no screenshots — just the URL and the tab title.
3. A nudge, not a wall
Drift onto a distraction for a minute and the menu-bar icon bounces. The popover opens with a single button: get back to it.
Common questions.
Does it close my tabs?
No. Earlier versions did; we pulled it. Now it bounces the menu-bar icon and shows a one-button card asking you to come back. You stay in control.
Which browsers work?
Safari, Chrome, Brave, and Edge at launch. Firefox and Arc are coming after.
What does Heads Down see?
Just the URL and title of your active browser tab — never page content, never keystrokes, never screenshots. Most checks happen locally; ambiguous URLs are evaluated remotely with TLS, no content stored.
Is it just for grad-school types?
It's for anyone whose work depends on long stretches of single-tasking — freelancers, indie devs, founders, students, writers. If your job has a goal you can put into one sentence, Heads Down can help.
Be first to know when we open up.
We'll send a single email at launch. No newsletter, no marketing drip — that's the whole point of the product.
