I tried Superpowered and liked it! Congrats on building a cool product! I see the value in having calendar alerts on your menu bar. I am real bad at remembering meetings and find the default alerts to be annoying or forgettable - I recently got an Apple Watch that has helped a lot with this though. I was a little surprised there was no free version with premium features - in my mind, the main benefit of alerts in my menu bar isn’t enough to pay. I may not be the right user (maybe businesses?). Could you share thoughts around the pricing? Are there other features I may be missing?

Glad you like it! With the pricing, we wanted to validate whether or not we were solving a painful enough of a problem. We're still early on and figuring out the best model - we're thinking about pricing tiers for sure. Thanks for the feedback!
I feel similarly.

Great looking product, I'd love to have a free version to glance at in my menu bar...

but for the most part Apple Watch covers my needs.
