Front Office Solo · On sale this fall

A front office for one researcher, on one Mac.

Front Office Solo grows out of the system I run my own academic week with, packaged to install on your Mac. It arrives empty. A setup conversation with Claude fills it with your courses, your accounts and the way you write.
