Tools we actually use for this

  • Claude logo

    Claude is the closest thing to a senior collaborator that fits in a window. Long context, careful reasoning — built for the writing/research/code mix nomads run. Claude

  • Fireflies logo

    When you stack 4-5 client calls in a day, Fireflies transcribes and summarises so your evenings stop being "writing notes about the day". Fireflies

  • Beehiiv logo

    If your client base ever asks "how do I keep up with what you are doing", Beehiiv is the fastest way to spin up a newsletter that monetises later. Beehiiv

  • AppSumo logo

    Most of the tools nomads pay monthly for show up on AppSumo as one-time lifetime deals. Skim the deals page before you sign up for a new SaaS — a $59 lifetime often beats $19/month forever. AppSumo

Frequently asked

What does a working solopreneur stack look like?
A simple task system (notes + a tracker), calendar and scheduling, an AI assistant, a meeting recorder, an email/CRM, and an invoicing/payments setup. Add a CMS or newsletter if your business runs on content.
How many tools is too many?
If a new tool does not replace an existing one or unlock measurable revenue, you do not need it. Most solopreneurs over $5k/month run 6-10 tools, not 25. Adding tools usually adds maintenance, not output.
What is the highest-ROI category to invest in?
Calendar/scheduling + AI assistant. Together they remove the most predictable friction (meetings, drafts, summaries) and pay back every week. Everything else is secondary until those two are dialled in.
Should I run everything from one super-app?
A do-it-all hub sounds clean but rarely wins. Best-in-class single-purpose tools, lightly integrated, beat a super-app you wrestle with. Pick boring, sturdy tools you can replace independently.
When do I move from solopreneur tools to "real" SaaS?
When a tool blocks growth — usage caps, missing features, fragile automations — replace it. Until then, the cheaper, simpler tool is the right one. Premature scaling is a tax on your time.

KI für ernsthafte Arbeit

Ein Denkpartner, der in ein Fenster passt.

Claude ist das, was den meisten Nomaden am nächsten zu einem Senior-Kollaborateur kommt: langer Kontext, sorgfältiges Denken, sauberes Schreiben in 7+ Sprachen und ein Urteil, das Kunden-Briefs, Recherche und Code trägt. Das asynchrone Tool, dessen Abo sich in der ersten Woche bezahlt macht.
