Match the workspace to the work
The honest one-line version of each:
- Founder OS — you run a company: strategy, customers, investors, meetings. The broadest system.
- Vibe Coder OS — you build with AI agents and want the code to stay coherent between sessions.
- Student OS — coursework, deadlines, revision, feedback. Turns a notes folder into a study partner.
- Creator OS — content pipelines, brand voice, scripts. For publishing on a schedule.
- Research OS — sources, synthesis, citations. For turning heavy reading into usable insight.
If you're between two
Pick the one that matches where your files are messiest today — that's where structure pays off first. Workspaces are plain folders, so nothing stops you running two side by side or merging folders from one into another later.
Founders who code usually start with Founder OS and pull the project conventions from Vibe Coder OS into it, not the other way round.
Try before you commit
Every product page shows the full folder tree and file counts before you buy. If the tree doesn't obviously map to your week, it's the wrong workspace.
