The app
Who is Founder Hud for?
Small product teams on Macs who talk many times a day, and the contractors and clients they work with.
How many people can join a call?
Up to 8 today. Calls of 2 or 3 go directly between Macs; from 4 people they go through media servers. Larger meetings are in development.
Can contractors and clients join?
That is the next thing we’re building. Guests will join a call from a link, without an account or a seat. They will always be free.
Are calls private?
Direct calls are encrypted end to end and signed with a key on each Mac. Compare a safety number once to know it’s them. Calls of 4 to 8 go through media servers that can decrypt them, and Founder Hud marks those calls.
Where do transcripts go?
Each Mac transcribes its own microphone. On a direct call it also sends its lines to the others, so every Mac saves the whole transcript. Transcripts never go to our servers. After the call, the to-dos go to the team’s to-dos, and the summary to the call’s chat if you turn that on or to a team note if you share the notes; the decisions stay in the notes on your Mac.
Does it work on Windows, Linux or in a browser?
Not yet. Founder Hud runs on Macs with Apple Silicon.
What does it cost?
Your team’s first month is free, from your first call, with no card. Then your first two people, your founders, are $5 each a month, and each teammate who was on a call is $19. Guests are always free. These are launch prices and may change.
Pricing
Who are the founders?
Your first two active people each month. They pay $5 each, or $99 a year together. Who they are doesn’t matter, so you never mark anyone.
I work alone. What do I pay?
$5 a month. You are your team’s first founder.
Who counts as active?
Anyone on your team who started or joined a call that month. Everyone else is free.
Do guests cost anything?
No. Contractors and clients you invite by link never count and never take a seat.
What happens after the free month?
New calls need Team. Presence, chat and history stay, so nothing is lost, and a call in progress never cuts off.
Are these the final prices?
No. These are launch prices and may change before launch.
