TRUE HEADING
One place to steer your whole life
TR
NexCode’s number-one research focus: a compact life dashboard unifying goals, habits, health, finances, calendar, weather, tasks, and daily direction.
iPhone · iPad · macOS · Apple Watch/ Product thesis
People manage one life through a dozen disconnected apps. True Heading researches whether the most important signals can be compacted into one trustworthy dashboard without becoming noisy, shallow, or overwhelming.
Core problem
Each life category has its own tracker, vocabulary, notifications, and dashboard, leaving users to manually understand how today’s choices affect the bigger picture.
Differentiator
A customizable daily heading that connects—not merely displays—the user’s priorities, capacity, schedule, health, finances, tasks, habits, and environment in one compact system.
/ Minimum viable product
Small enough to learn.
Strong enough to keep.
