But they soon faced issues in keeping up with their own calendar appointments as they began to conduct user research interviews. Wanting to build a startup of their own, the team applied to the accelerator Y Combinator with an idea to build a lecture platform for professors.

The idea for the app comes from four computer science and software engineering students from the University of Waterloo, who previously interned at tech companies like Google, Facebook, Asana and Spotify.
The startup plans to add support for more integrations going forward, including Microsoft Teams, Cisco WebEx and others. When it’s time for the meeting, all you have to do is click the button it displays to join your Zoom call or Google Meet. You can also configure other preferences - like whether you want a chime to sound, how far in advance you want to be alerted, whether you want a meeting reminder as text to appear in the menu bar ahead of the meeting and so on. When you have a meeting coming up, Superpowered will display a drop-down notification to alert you, or you can opt for a more subtle halo effect instead to have it get your attention. Once connected, Superpowered pulls all your events into the menu bar, which you can view at any time throughout the day with a click or by using the keyboard shortcut Command+Y. The app currently works with any Google account, including G Suite, as well as your subscribed calendars.

To use Superpowered, you first download the app then authorize it to access to your Google Calendar. Instead of relying on calendar reminders, Superpowered offers a notification inbox for the Mac menu bar that alerts you to online meetings just before they start, which you can then join with a click of a button.
A newly launched Mac app called Superpowered aims to make it easier to stay on top of all your Zoom calls and Google Meets, without having to scramble to find the meeting link in your inbox or calendar app at the last minute.
