Heartbeat Domains
Heartbeat lives at h.ki; heartbeat.me, heartbeat.love, heartbeat.music, heartbeat.lol, heartbeat.tips and heartbeat.photos redirect to it, while heartbeat.games, heartbeat.kids, heartbeat.pics and heartors.com served sites of their own when checked on Nov 7, 2026.
Heartbeat's home is h.ki, and its other domains either redirect there or are growing into sites of their own: on Nov 7, 2026 heartbeat.me, heartbeat.music, heartbeat.lol, heartbeat.tips and heartbeat.photos sent visitors to h.ki, while heartbeat.games, heartbeat.kids and heartbeat.pics answered with their own pages. That is the plan George Vanous described in his Sep 10, 2025 video: "all these Heartbeat domains currently redirect. In the future there they will be standalone websites", as music.youtube.com is a site of YouTube's for music alone.

Why h.ki?
The name is a pun on the key that makes a moment. In the Dec 25, 2023 features video George calls h.ki a domain "very simple to remember H key which is the same hot key you press the H key to create a heartbeat moment while watching any video on YouTube", adding that it is "not a coincidence". He reads it aloud as "H key".
h.ki also replaced Freedom!'s older addresses. On Oct 1, 2024 George announced "we are changing all of our domains that we've had for over 10 years" to h.ki, "starting with community.tm which is now community.h.ki", because "h.ki is heartbeat". On Nov 7, 2026 freedom.tm redirected to freedom.h.ki and thumbs.tm to thumbs.h.ki, while community.tm no longer answered.

| thumbs.h.ki | "Thumbs - Get any YouTube thumbnail" |
| spam.h.ki | "Spam Channel Indicator" |
| freedom.h.ki | "Freedom! Partner Dashboard" |
| a.h.ki | Behind a login; h.ki's pages send analytics to it |
| viki.gg | 302 to https://vi.ki/ (History of Heartbeat) |
| heartbeat.com | "Domain for sale", not Heartbeat's |
| heartbeat.tv | No answer |
So h.ki/about's line that the heartbeat domains "redirect to h.ki while we are developing them" was true on that day for .music, .lol, .tips and .photos, but no longer for .games and .kids, which had become sites of their own.
heartbeat.me
h.ki/about explains heartbeat.me as a verb: "Heartbeat Me is a verb that means Follow my Heartbeat or Contact me on Heartbeat", with heartbeat.me/@georgevanous as its example. It works as a short link to a profile, since it keeps the path when it redirects (Profiles, Your Heartbeat as a Website).
heartbeat.love, the first address
When the extension launched on Aug 18, 2023, Heartbeat's website was heartbeat.love: in the launch video George says clicking the Heart "will take you to our website heartbeat.love", adding "all the things you love not uh finding love dating website". His Sep 14, 2023 Shorts video still sends people to heartbeat.love; by Nov 12, 2023 a video title says h.ki. heartbeat.love now redirects to h.ki.
heartbeat.pics and heartors.com
h.ki/about calls heartbeat.pics "a free and fast screenshot sharing tool" that works with ShareX, and mentions "our own Heartbeat Windows app for taking screenshots" without a link to it. heartors.com is named on h.ki/about as "Heartbeat creators" (a "Heartor" is a Heartbeat creator, as a chapter of Freedom!'s Jun 30, 2025 video "Best of ❤️ Heartbeat" puts it); on Nov 7, 2026 it was a site of apps and games "by anyone".
We think the redirecting domains are worth knowing mainly as memorable shortcuts (heartbeat.lol to the comedy tag, heartbeat.music to music), and that h.ki will stay the one address that matters: every moment link, profile and viki uses it, and the newer standalone sites so far cover games, kids' apps and screenshots rather than Heartbeat's moments.
Frequently asked questions

h.ki. Its other domains redirect there or serve separate sites.

It redirects to h.ki and keeps the path, so heartbeat.me/@handle opens that person's heartbeat.
Why is Heartbeat at h.ki?
George Vanous chose it to match the H key that saves a moment; he pronounces it "H key".
What was heartbeat.love?
Heartbeat's website in August and September 2023, before h.ki. It redirects to h.ki now.
Is heartbeat.com Heartbeat's?
No. On Nov 7, 2026 it showed "Domain for sale".

History of HeartbeatHeartbeat began in August 2023 with Heartbeat Photos (Aug 3) and the Heartbeat Moments Chrome extension (Aug 18) at heartbeat.photos and heartbeat.love, moved to h.ki by November 2023, added Shorts, vikis, tools, riddles, trivia and pretty links through 2024 and 2025, and took over Freedom!'s .tm domains on Oct 1, 2024.
-
ProfilesA Heartbeat profile, called a heartbeat, is at h.ki/@handle, with tabs for Home, Favorites, Videos, Moments, Vikis, Playlists, Photos, Galleries, Following and About; heartbeat.me/@handle leads to it, and h.ki/as/handle shows Heartbeat with only that person's content.
-
Your Heartbeat as a WebsiteChange the @ in your profile address to /as/ (h.ki/@handle becomes h.ki/as/handle) and Heartbeat shows its whole home page with only your moments and your tags, a site of your own to share; Heartbeat's pretty links, listed at h.ki/pretty-links, give vikis readable addresses like h.ki/chess.
