Running it alone? Think out loud anyway.
Talk the business through on your walk. Compass gives you back clean notes, a chat that has read them, a Sunday review that asks about what you promised yourself, and posts written from your own words.
Compass Pro starts with a 14-day free trial. For iPhone, iOS 17 or later.
Sound familiar?
Every hat, and nobody to hand one to.
No one to think out loud with on a Tuesday afternoon?
Start a chat from an insight or a memory. Compass answers from your profile, your goals and your recent notes, and you can save your own take as a memory.
Sales, delivery, marketing and the books, all before lunch?
Say each one as it happens. Compass files the notes by topic and sorts the to-dos into today, this week and later.
Know you should post, and never find the hour?
Notes of 40 words or more come with an X draft and a LinkedIn draft, written only from what the note says, in the voice you set.
Promise yourself things on Monday and forget them by Thursday?
Finish the weekly review with up to three commitments. Next week's review opens by asking how each one went.
In Leapers' 2024 survey of 715 freelancers and self-employed people in the UK, 71.9% felt isolated or lonely sometimes or frequently during the year.

Talked through on the coffee walk. The Enhanced tab lays out the options, the risks and the question you have not answered.
Voice notesMonday, 11:30
What the client asked for that is not on the menu
A voice note right after the call. Compass remembers the client, their role and what they asked for.
MemoryWednesday, 15:00
Stuck, so you argue with your notes
An Opportunity card says two clients want the same add-on. Swipe up to chat, and the thread starts from that insight.

Where Compass stops for a solopreneur
- Compass is not a person, a coach or a peer group. It reads your own notes back to you.
- Posts go to X and LinkedIn only. Read every draft before it goes out.
- No invoicing, bookings or client portal.
- iPhone only, iOS 17 or later. Voice notes are built for English.
- Compass Pro starts with a 14-day free trial. Without a subscription the app is read-only, and export keeps working.
FAQ
Questions solopreneurs ask
Is Compass a replacement for a coach or a peer group?
No. It reads your own notes back to you: patterns, a weekly review, a chat that knows your recent notes. It is not a person, and it does not pretend to be one.
Can Compass post for me?
It drafts X and LinkedIn posts from your notes. Nothing is published until you tap Post, or pick a time in the schedule sheet.
Will the drafts sound like me?
Import your voice from your X handle or LinkedIn profile, or paste three to five posts you wrote. Set a default tone and your own rules on top.
What if a note is about a client?
Mark it Private. Private notes are never drafted into posts and never mirrored to iCloud Drive.
My business is not a startup. Does that matter?
Compass speaks founder: its topics include Business Model, Distribution & Growth and Finances. Most of them fit a one-person business well; a few, like PMF Signals, may never come up.
