OUR MISSION
The internet didn't become overwhelming by accident. We're here to change that.
The internet is an ecosystem built on incentives that reward time spent, not well-being. Every feed, notification, and autoplay loop is part of a machine designed to keep you thinking less and scrolling more.
Heyday exists to give people a way out of that current. Not by abandoning technology, but by reshaping it. We're building tools that make the most addictive corners of the internet quieter, slower, and easier to walk away from.
We believe focus, calm, and autonomy are worth protecting.
OUR MANIFESTO
We're building a new kind of digital-wellbeing toolset that doesn't rely on shame, cold-turkey blocking, or all-or-nothing restrictions.
Make sites less stimulating when you need to focus.
Slow down your worst habits instead of pretending they'll disappear.
Create rhythms that support who you actually want to be.
We purposefully disrupt the design tricks that pull you in. Drain the colour, break the loop, interrupt the doomscroll. Not to punish you, but to free you.
This isn't about digital abstinence.
It's about digital sovereignty.
FOUNDER'S NOTE
"My attention felt like it belonged to everyone except me."
For years I lived inside the trap I'm now trying to help people escape. Every spare moment became a scroll. Every tiny break in the day was filled with someone else's thoughts, opinions, outrage, or highlight reel.
It looked productive from the outside. I was always informed and connected but internally I was burned out. I could not stand to be alone with my own mind.
Things changed when I forced myself to make the internet worse. I slowed it down, muted it, decoloured it, and made it inconvenient. The more space in the day I allowed myself to think, the faster I got my brain back. The quiet started returning. My creativity came back. My mental health stabilized.
Heyday grew from that shift. It supports a community of people who believe that better tools and better habits can give us our inner lives back.
If you've struggled with digital addiction, burnout, or the sense that your attention is no longer your own—you're not alone. You're exactly who we're building for.
