// why teamhud
a 5-minute question shouldn't need a 30-minute meeting.
teamhud cuts the friction out of day-to-day work with the handful of people you work with most. A tiny surface, no alt-tab: push to talk, hover to check in, and you're back.
~1,200
times a day the average worker toggles between apps and windows.
275
interruptions a day from meetings, email and chat. One every two minutes.
// the shape of a workday
nobody builds in a vacuum.
You'll leave your editor a dozen times an hour for a name, a link, a decision. That's the job; nobody solos the raid. The trouble is what comes with it: every other channel, task and unread badge in the tool you just opened. You came for one line and got the whole tool.
back 23 min later. hover, read, back.
Interrupted work is picked back up after 23 min 15 s on average, with about two other tasks in between: Mark, González & Harris, CHI 2005. Knowledge workers spend 60% of their time on work about work: Asana Anatomy of Work.
// the friction
your tools got loud.
Every tool you added to talk to your team became one more window to dig through. The people you need most are buried in the same noise as everyone else.

// get started// the journey
the desktop was ours.
let's take it back.
Somewhere along the way, "it just works" turned into "don't touch it." Every app and every operating system follows the same formula. You get a wallpaper and an accent color, and that's about it.
The widgets your OS hands you show the weather and the stock market. Not your team, not your work, not the thing you're in the middle of.
teamhud brings back the part we lost: shape the surface where work happens. People, quests, resources, AI, widgets, play. Alive on your desktop, and built the way you want it.
Not nostalgia. A jailbreak. See what you can build

// video calls
calls were built for meetings. most of your day isn't one.
Zoom, Meet and Teams own the scheduled hour, and Slack huddles the quick call inside Slack. Keep them for that. teamhud handles the questions in between.
- others
Every call starts with a link and a waiting room.teamhud You're already in the room. Just talk, or push to talk. - others
"Can you see my screen?"teamhud Your share follows your focus, and apps you exclude never show. - others
A frame and a banner you can't close while you share.teamhud Nothing drawn over your work. Want the screen back? Your whole team folds into one tiny hub. - others
A grid of faces that takes over your screen.teamhud Small faces at the edge, or tucked into the hub until you hover. Camera off? Your avatar talks along. - others
One more window to find, unmute and babysit.teamhud Hover the team widget and your team pops out; move on and it tucks away. Click to pin it open. - others
An hour of recording nobody watches.teamhud Everyone on their own track, and to-dos land as draft quests. - others
Your calls on someone else's servers.teamhud Run it on your own, or on ours with nothing captured until you say so.
You're already in the room: your team at the edge of your screen, no link to send.
// how it compares
built for the team you talk to every day.
Side by side: what teamhud does for the handful of people you work with all day, where the usual tools stop, and where they go further. Into the nerdy bits? See what you can build on it, and how it stays locked down.
