customizes your browser for focus, not distraction
Make digital technology less stimulating when you need to focus.
Create rhythms that support who you actually want to be.
Minimize your worst habits instead of pretending they'll disappear.
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.
"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.
— Andrew, Founder
Heyday is one founder, a working product, and a direction that feels right. I'm looking for cofounders to help shape what it becomes.
Builders who make things—not strategists on the sidelines.
Technical cofounders are our biggest gap, especially mobile. But this product lives or dies by marketing too, so B2C growth skills matter. Design is covered, unless you're exceptional.
More important than your specific skill: you're flexible, hungry, deeply annoyed by the current digital world, and want to build something that actually helps people.
Cofounder equity with vesting. Currently bootstrapped—no salaries yet. Part-time to start is fine. The goal is to move to full-time as we find traction, and seed funding if the product shows promise.
Fair warning
This is experimental. Multiple directions, uncertain paths. If ambiguity makes you uncomfortable, it's not the right fit.
