Scholium is the AI workspace for Founders and Vibe Coders. Keep your strategy, PRDs, build logs, prompts, investor updates, and launch work in one connected archive — then ask Scribe to answer from your own notes. SCHOLIUM — AI WORKSPACE FOR FOUNDERS AND VIBE CODERS Most builders split their thinking across six apps. Notes here, PRDs there, prompts in one doc, OKRs in another, investor updates in a third. None of it talks to each other. Scholium fixes that. One domain-aware archive. Domain-specific tools. An AI assistant called Scribe that reads everything you've written. TWO FOCUSED DOMAINS FOR FOUNDERS • OKR Studio — Set quarterly goals, track key results weekly, let Scribe flag when you're drifting • Pitch Builder — Store your deck narrative, talking points, and live metrics together • Investor Updates — Draft from your real OKRs and notes, not from scratch • Unit Economics — Model MRR, CAC, LTV. Scribe adjusts as you type. • Weekly Founder Log — Your operating cadence, every week, in one place FOR VIBE CODERS • PRD Builder — Capture feature specs, user stories, and ship scope in structured notes • Prompt Library — Save, organize, and iterate your best prompts as reusable notes • Build Log — Daily build notes, blockers, and wins in a running log Scribe can read • Changelog — Track what you've shipped in a clean, searchable archive • Launch Checklist — Ship confidently with domain-specific launch prep • API Cost Tracker — Monitor spend across LLM and API calls in your workspace SCRIBE — YOUR ARCHIVE-AWARE AI ASSISTANT Scribe reads your workspace and answers from what you've actually written. Ask it: "What should I focus on this week?" "Draft my investor update from recent notes." "What blockers show up across my build logs?" "What should I ship first?" No generic answers. Scribe knows your project, your goals, and your archive. BUILT FOR REAL WORK • Domain-specific templates for every workflow • Tools that adapt to your selected domain • Available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Notes, tools, and AI in one connected system SUBSCRIPTION PLANS • Free — Core workspace, limited Scribe messages • Pro — $7.99/month or $74.99/year · Expanded Scribe, all tools unlocked • Scholar — $14.99/month or $129.99/year · Unlimited Scribe, Lab access, early features, Scholar badge Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
