Title: Hey HN,<p>I’m Jordan from Superpowered (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;superpowered.me&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;superpowered.me&#x2F;</a>), here with my co-founders Nikhil, Nick, and Ibrahim. We’re building a calendar app for the Mac menu bar.<p>A few months ago, we were students from the University of Waterloo. We started YC as a video lecture platform for professors but realized it was a horrible idea. We needed a new problem.<p>We settled on one we all faced during our remote internships. Our calendars became more important, yet meetings took ten clicks to join and were easy to miss.<p>So, we built a Mac app to bring the platform we check the most, Google Calendar, into the menu bar. We’ve made common actions, like joining Zoom meetings and checking what’s coming up, a click away.<p>We’ve only solved a small part of a bigger problem. The SaaS platforms we use for work don&#x27;t work well together. It shouldn’t take cycling through ten different apps and Chrome tabs to stay on top of everything.<p>We’re now looking to bring Slack and GitHub into a unified notification inbox in the menu bar. We want to better organize everything you use as we’ve done with Google Calendar.<p>For those who are curious, it’s built using React + Electron and designed to look as native as possible in the menu bar. Sensitive user data like calendar events don’t pass through our servers.<p>We’re new to the productivity space and still have a lot to learn, so we’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts.<p>Thanks in advance! Jordan<p>Note: We&#x27;re still early on and are trying to figure out our pricing. We priced it towards the higher end to see if we&#x27;re delivering enough value to our users.<p>PS - Yes, we have keyboard shortcuts.
