Your whole business, in one folder, on your computer.
A Windows desktop system for UK sole traders. Projects, clients, invoices, time, finance and a business plan — written to a SQLite database and ordinary files you can open by hand. No cloud account, no sync, no subscription holding your files.
If SoloWork vanished tomorrow, you’d still have everything.
One workspace folder on your own disk. A SQLite database and ordinary files. Every invoice is a PDF. Every note is markdown. Every project is a real folder tree you can open in Explorer, back up with anything, and read in ten years without asking permission.
Uninstalling doesn’t touch your data. Moving to a new computer is a folder copy. Running two businesses means two workspaces, with completely separate books.
No work data ever leaves the machine.
Built for one person running one business.
Projects, tasks, time
Every project gets a real folder tree on disk. Tasks read dates and projects out of a one-line sentence. Tracked time flows straight into invoices, and a calendar shows the hours you've already committed.
Clients, invoices, quotes
A client pipeline and contact directory. Invoices and quotes with PDF generation, chasers and retainers. Nothing is emailed to a client without you pressing send.
Expenses, mileage, tax
Expenses, mileage and a tax set-aside that tells you what to leave alone. A finance summary built from what you actually recorded, not from projections.
The business plan
Attach the plan you have and it lays out the contents and shows what's missing. Or answer plain questions and it writes the first draft. The assistant reads it before every answer.
Planner and attribution
Say how often you'll show up on each channel and the calendar draws the gaps. Campaigns gather posts, tasks and files. Results tells you where clients actually came from.
More than one business
One person, two businesses, completely separate books. Each workspace is its own folder and its own database, and nothing bleeds between them.
Three things, and they’re all the same thing really.
It doesn't pretend to integrations it doesn't have.
It won't post to LinkedIn. Copy-to-clipboard is the entire publishing step, and the app says so plainly. It won't email a client without you pressing send. Nothing is described as automatic that isn't.
Figures are derived, never invented.
Utilisation comes from tracked time. Attribution comes from what you told it. Where it can't answer honestly it says nothing rather than showing you an empty chart with a confident axis.
Limits never hold your data hostage.
Every tier writes to the same open folder. Drop from Pro to Free with forty clients and you keep all forty, readable and editable. The limit stops you adding, not opening.
Claude, with your business plan open and the door locked.
It reads your business plan before every answer, asks permission before changing anything, and cannot leave your workspace folder. It won’t email a client without you pressing send.
Free to start. Paid when it pays for itself.
Free is the doing, at small numbers. Basic+ buys automation. Pro buys knowing whether it worked.
One workspace and small numbers. Projects, tasks, time, notes, and invoices raised by hand.
Unthrottled numbers, invoice chasers and retainers, and the marketing planner when it ships.
Attribution, spend and results. Deeper finance, the year-end pack, the assistant, and multiple workspaces.
£99 once, Pro for the life of the app.
For people buying it before launch, on the strength of what it already does. Two hundred licences, then the offer closes for good.
Limits never hold your data hostage. Drop from Pro to Free with forty clients and you keep all forty, readable and editable. You just can’t add a forty-first.
One folder. One business. One person.
Make an account, get seven days of Pro with no card, and point SoloWork at a folder. Nothing leaves your machine unless you send it.
