Who uses ContextOS

Same underlying system — sessions, decisions, ideas, next action — applied to whatever kind of project-switching actually costs you time.

The common thread across all of these is the restart cost: the 20–60 minutes spent remembering where you left off before real work starts. Developers pay it switching codebases, founders pay it switching workstreams, researchers pay it after weeks-long gaps, and freelancers pay it per client. Each page below covers the specific version of the problem, how ContextOS is applied to it, and answers to the questions that persona usually asks. If none fit exactly, start with the one closest to how you actually work.

Developers
Stop re-reading old code to remember why you made a call.
Founders
Remember every product and GTM decision behind your startup.
Researchers
Preserve reasoning across long-running, low-frequency work.
Creators
Keep every project's context, not just its files.
Side Projects
Resume the thing you left three weeks ago in seconds.
Freelancers
Remember every client's context instantly, session to session.
Indie Hackers
Manage five projects at once without losing the thread.

Frequently asked questions

Builders who switch between projects: developers, founders, researchers, creators, freelancers, and indie hackers. Anyone whose restart cost — the time spent remembering where they left off — adds up.

No — the system is the same everywhere: sessions, decisions, ideas, resources, and one next action per project. The pages show how each kind of builder applies it.

Yes. Projects are independent, so you can track client work, a side project, and a research thread side by side. Free covers 5 projects.
