Headstart is now free for everyone
Announcement• By Nadeem Siddique
Since launch, Headstart has had a free plan and a paid plan gating GitHub, Jira, Notion, Linear, and Figma behind a subscription. That split never sat quite right, and it clearly didn't help adoption the way I'd hoped. So we're dropping it.
What's changing
- No more plans. There's no free tier or paid tier anymore — there's just Headstart, and it's free for everyone.
- No more pricing page. The old pricing section is gone. If you had an active subscription, nothing about your data or account changes — you just no longer need it.
- Integrations are opt-in. GitHub, Jira, Notion, Linear, and Figma no longer sit on your dashboard by default. Connect the ones you actually use from Settings → Integrations and their widgets show up — nothing loads for the ones you don't. Google Calendar is the one exception and still shows up out of the box.
Why
Headstart was always meant to save you time, not become another subscription to think about. Making it free removes the one bit of friction between "this looks useful" and actually using it every day.
Free, forever. We're happy if you find it useful.
