From daily confusion to predictable team mornings

Heykup was built to solve one real hybrid-work pain: teams should not spend the first hour of every day figuring out who is in office, who is remote, and who is on leave. Starting January 2026, we built a focused workflow that turns attendance intent into instant team clarity.

Problem discovery

We mapped the recurring attendance chaos in hybrid teams and identified one core need: a trusted daily status signal that takes seconds.

Pain Point

8+ chat pings

Morning coordination starts in chat before work begins.

Signal Gap

Foundation
