The work was real.
The recognition should be too.

A directory, peer thank-yous, and a face game for Google Workspace teams. Set up in an afternoon. Every kudo is signed and yours to keep — even if you leave.

“I spent three years at a company collecting kind words from the people I worked with. The day I left, all of it stayed locked in their system.”
Recognition tools treat your kudos as the company’s data. We don’t. The kind words a coworker took the time to write belong to the person who earned them — not the vendor who happened to host them.

Recognition that follows the person, not the vendor.

Every high five issued in High Fives is signed as a W3C verifiable credential (DID:web). Employees can export their recognition, prove it to a future employer, and carry it across jobs the same way they carry a diploma. If we get acquired, repriced, or shut down tomorrow, the credentials still verify. Nobody else in this category does this.

Three steps. One afternoon.

No procurement. No SSO config calls. No sales demo.

01

Sign in with Google

Directory live in 60 seconds. No IT ticket, no admin consent, no procurement cycle.

02

Set your company values

Recognition gets tied to what you actually care about — not generic "great job" noise.

03

Invite your team

High fives, face game, and Slack shout-outs start the same day. No rollout plan needed.

Four things in one app, not five tabs in your browser.

Built for the way your team actually works — Google Workspace on the back end, Slack in the middle, humans on the front end.

Company directory

Syncs from Google Workspace automatically. Titles, managers, phones, offices — always current. No IT ticket, no admin consent.

Peer recognition

Give a high five tied to one of your company values. Public, positive, specific. Posts to Slack so the recognition lands where your team already works.

Who’s Who

New hire on Monday? They’ll know 40 faces by Friday — without a single awkward Zoom intro. Onboarding ritual, not a coffee-line pastime.

Portable high fives

Every kudo is signed as a verifiable credential (DID:web). Employees can export, prove, and carry their recognition across jobs — like a diploma.

Need anonymous workplace reporting too? It’s built in. Learn more.

Keep doing nothing and you’re paying for:

  • A new hire who can’t name half the team after 90 days — and quietly checks out before month four.
  • Another renewal cycle writing a five-figure check to a vendor whose roadmap, pricing, or owner could change without you.
  • A culture deck that says "we recognize each other" while the actual recognition lives in Slack DMs that scroll into the void by Friday.
