Local-first software for one-person businesses
Plan, build, remember, market, create and operate with twelve focused tools designed to work together. Bring the AI you already pay for. Buy the software once.
Free apps

Proof
Not a studio brand over a contractor roster. One person writes the code, answers the support mail, and runs the servers — using the same twelve tools this page is selling.
Downloadable and on sale today, out of twelve planned.
Installers and archives across 10 apps. Update polls are counted separately and excluded.
Every tagged build, all of them with written release notes.
macOS, Windows and Linux builds for most of the catalogue.
No investors, no team, no runway to spend down.
Counted to 2026-10-14. Every figure is GitHub’s own release download counter, collected daily from the public GitHub API across all 10 public release repositories and totalled by the public download API, which is the same endpoint this page reads. Check the arithmetic yourself.
The company workflow
Every product exists because one of these six stages was being done by hand, badly, at eleven at night. Pick a stage to see which tools cover it.
You describe the thing you want to exist. 1FounderTool turns that into a plan you can argue with, and 1AIVault keeps the reasoning so you are not re-deciding it in three weeks.
Describe the product. Get a plan, then a working build.
Build and thinkKeep what your AI tools learn about your company.
Build and thinkAgents work in 1DevTool across real projects and terminals, and 1AIVault keeps what they worked out.
Run every coding agent like a team.
Build and thinkKeep what your AI tools learn about your company.
Build and thinkEvery decision, preference and dead end lands in the vault. Six months later a new agent reads it through MCP instead of asking you to explain the project again.
Keep what your AI tools learn about your company.
Build and thinkResearch the keywords and write the launch post in 1MarketingTool. Record the product once in 1ShowcaseTool and get both the guide and the film. 1DesignTool has your coding agent make the deck and the brand kit as real files. 1FileTool handles whatever the app stores demand this month.
Research, write and publish without renting an SEO suite.

OperateWhere to start
1FounderTool and 1DevTool run the same engine. The difference is whether you want the controls or the outcome — so pick the sentence that sounds like you.
You already run coding agents. You need somewhere for them to work that survives being closed.
You do not want to learn terminals, repositories, deployments or agent routing. You want the product to exist.
The shared foundation
Every product owns one discipline and refuses the rest. Three capabilities run underneath all of them, which is how they cooperate without any of them turning into a suite.
Owned by 1AIVault
Decisions, preferences and company knowledge, stored once and readable by every other app through MCP.
Owned by 1AudioTool
Dictation in, transcription and spoken summaries out — so a long day of work can be handled without a keyboard.
Owned by 1DevTool
Routing, approval and session state for every coding agent you run, so a task survives being closed and reopened.
A product only reaches for a layer when it needs one. 1FileTool does not need agents to compress a PDF, and it does not load them.
The twelve
Each product owns one discipline completely and then stops. All twelve are shipping today, each with its own download. One more app sits outside the twelve and is free.
Turn an idea into a shipped product, and keep what you learned along the way.
Run every coding agent like a team.
Projects, terminals, code, Git, browsers, APIs and databases in one persistent desktop workspace. Point it at Claude, Codex, Gemini or a local model — the workspace is yours, the agent is whichever one you already pay for.
Now includes 1SessionTool (session persistence and orchestration) and 1AIControl (agent routing and approval).
Describe the product. Get a plan, then a working build.
The 1DevTool engine without the terminal. You answer questions about what you are making; it writes the plan, runs the agents, and shows you a preview to correct. No repositories to manage, no deployment to learn.
Keep what your AI tools learn about your company.
Chat across models, then keep the part that mattered — decisions, preferences, topics and company knowledge — in a local vault that every other tool can read through MCP.
Make the files, words, demos and recordings that put the product in front of people.
Fix any file without uploading it first.
Convert, compress, extract, redact and merge across PDFs, Office formats, images, audio and video. Around 245 tools, all of them running on your own disk.
Research, write and publish without renting an SEO suite.
Keyword research, AI content, rank tracking and AI-search monitoring in a desktop app. Bring your own model key; the keyword data and the drafts stay on your machine.
Click through your app once and ship the walkthrough.
Record a flow in the browser, a window or the whole screen. Review what was captured, redact anything sensitive, then export a step-by-step guide or a directed film.
Describe the design. Your agent makes it as real files.
A local design studio driven by the coding CLIs already on your machine. Describe a deck, an app screen, a 3D scene or a brand kit, then steer it with comment pins on a live preview. Every project is a folder of HTML, CSS and assets that opens in any browser.
Open 1DesignTool
Talk to your work instead of typing at it.
Dictation, transcription and spoken digests, running on-device. It biases Whisper with your own dictionary and your project’s identifiers, then measures whether accuracy actually improved. The shared voice layer the rest of the system reads and writes through.
Take a script to shots to a finished cut.
Break a script into acts, scenes and directed shots, keep the cast and locations consistent across them, generate through your own provider keys, and finish on a real timeline. The production is a folder of readable files on your disk.
Run the servers, the dashboards and the models the whole thing sits on.
Take a server from empty to serving, then keep it that way.
Provisioning, SSH hardening, deployments, live logs, cron and rollback from a desktop app. Your keys stay on your laptop — there is no console to log into.
Run every product you own from one calm browser.
Each product gets its own workspace with isolated logins. Claude Code, Codex and 14 other coding agents work inside it, your other AI apps can drive it over MCP, and the browser chores you repeat run on a schedule.
Open StoicBrowserPrivate AI that runs on the computer you already own.
Chat, summarise PDFs, transcribe audio and make pictures with nothing leaving your disk. It measures the machine and picks a model that fits, then serves OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints on localhost so the other apps can use it too.
Open 1LocalAIToolOutside the twelve, with no price on it. Download it and keep it.
Practise on a server before you rent one.
Boots a local Ubuntu VM and dresses it up as a fresh VPS — its own IP, root over SSH, systemd, a hostname and a TLS certificate — so you can rehearse a deploy and break things before it costs anything.
Get VPSBoxWhat this replaces
Tick what you currently pay monthly for. The figures are representative entry-tier prices, not quotes — the point is the shape of the arithmetic, not the decimal.
Buying several at once costs less again — StoicSoft Complete is $149 for all twelve apps rather than $348. See the bundles.
Comparison prices are representative entry tiers for well-known tools in each category and will not match your invoice. StoicSoft licenses do not include AI-provider usage, hosting, domains or any other third-party service — you keep paying those, or run local models instead.
One request, five products
Ask for something that crosses four disciplines and watch which tool picks up each part. Nothing is uploaded between them — they hand off through the shared layers on your own machine.
Review yesterday’s customer feedback, remember the complaints that keep coming back, update the product plan, draft the response, and read me the summary.
An agent pulls yesterday’s feedback and groups it.
Recurring complaints are matched against what the vault already knows.
The plan is edited in the project, not in a separate tracker.
The public response is written against the same research.
The summary comes back as audio.
How buying works
The whole model fits in six sentences, so here are all six rather than a link to a terms page.
Why twelve
None of this began as a portfolio strategy. It began with a one-person company that kept hitting the same wall: the tools that would have helped were rented, cloud-bound, and priced for a team that did not exist.
Server Compass came first, because deploying to a VPS by hand at midnight stopped being funny. 1FileTool came from refusing to upload client documents to a website in order to merge two PDFs. 1DevTool came from running four coding agents in four terminals and losing all of their context every time the laptop slept. 1AIVault came from explaining the same architectural decision to a fresh model for the fourth time in a month.
The pattern held: build the thing you are already doing by hand, ship it, then use it hard enough to find out where it is wrong. Everything on this site is written, deployed, marketed and supported using the products on this site. When one of them is annoying, I am the first person it annoys.
Not all of it worked. Write.Rocks was a genuinely good blogging platform in a market that already had ten good blogging platforms, and it taught the rule the rest of the catalogue follows. Three more — 1SessionTool, 1AgentBox and 1AIControl — were shipped as separate products before it became obvious they were features. The parts worth keeping now live inside 1DevTool, where they should have started.
Twelve is not a target. It is the number of distinct jobs a one-person software company turned out to have.
Free tiers on most apps. Seven-day refund on every paid one. No account needed to try anything.
