Showrunner is the messenger that does stuff for you. You: - are a small team - love iMessage - spend a bunch of time on ops - wish you could spend all of your time on creative A few examples of 'stuff': - 100 unorganized images land in the chat. Runner looks at each one, renames them by what's in the photo, and groups them into subfolders. - You're on the subway and need to send the editor a file from last week's shoot. Ask Runner. It finds the file and sends it. - Your client texts you feedback on the latest cut. You screenshot it and drop it in the project. Runner reads the notes, creates tasks for your editor, and follows up when they're done. - Your editor drops a rough cut. You record your thoughts via voice note. Runner listens, watches the video, and maps every note to the right timecode. - You wake up and ask Runner what happened overnight. It tells you who sent what, what's due today, and who missed a deadline. You check things off as you go. Support: https://www.typo.inc/support Terms of use: https://www.typo.inc/terms-of-service
Loops

I think a lot. You probably do too. Loops is a notebook to help you think. It won't answer, remind you, or connect things. It holds your reasoning until you come back. Writing something feels like learning it. The friction is the point. THE COLD OPEN Come back to a Loop you've left alone for a week or more and the composer is withheld. You get the day count, the last thing you wrote, and your open prediction with three answers: it held, it didn't, still open. Only then do you get to write. CARRY ONE WITH YOU Put a question in your pocket and it moves to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island for as long as you're chewing on it. When the answer turns up on a walk or in the shower, tap it and you're writing before the thought is gone. THINGS DIE Every Loop shows how cold it is and fades as it goes. Untouched for sixty days and it archives itself. If it mattered, open it again. YOUR REASONING CAN LEAVE Copy any loop out as Markdown — the question, why it mattered, the whole trail, every prediction and how it turned out. Straight into any notes app, or as a file. WHAT IT DELIBERATELY WON'T DO No AI. No suggested connections. No daily review. No streaks. No notifications. No account, no sync, no analytics. Totally FREE.
