One place to organize the work behind TLTBE. Plan the story here, create in Studio, finish in Final, and share when you’re ready.
Sign in through HQ to use your private project queue.
Go to HQ sign-inFoundation projects save in this browser for your signed-in account. Export a backup to move them between devices. Existing Studio cloud sync continues separately.
Calendar downloads work with Apple Calendar and Google Calendar. They contain project deadlines; they do not schedule social posts. Imports add new projects and keep existing versions.
A folder link is a reference. Adding it does not connect your Drive account or import files.
Add an idea or notes after work. Keep the next step small.
Edit your photos in Studio and prepare two or three drafts.
Choose what to share, prepare the newsletter and check next week.
Open Final for the image and caption. You decide when to post.
These are the recommended services. Opening a service is separate from connecting an account.
Keep your current code and hosted HQ. This update adds a page to the existing site.
Render static hosting and a free backend are already in your setup. A free web service can sleep after inactivity.
Free hosting limits ↗Keep HQ sign-in, story records and Studio projects. Use this as the future shared source of truth for OS metadata.
Free tier available; storage and usage limits apply. This release adds no tables or storage buckets.
Plan limits ↗Original photos, videos, interview recordings and master documents. Paste project-folder links into the queue.
Up to 15 GB shared with Gmail and Google Photos. Check the quota on your account.
Open Drive ↗ · Storage limitsExtra layouts, interview graphics and presentation work. Keep your existing Studio for photo editing and logo placement.
Use free elements and your own uploads. Premium assets and larger AI allowances require a paid plan.
Open Canva ↗ · Plan limitsPrepare your Sunday issue here, then review and send in beehiiv when the newsletter launches.
Up to 2,500 subscribers; unlimited email sends. Paid features remain optional. No newsletter connection is active here.
Free plan details ↗Later, move file references and project updates between Drive, Calendar and HQ. Start with one useful workflow.
1,000 credits/month, two active scenarios and 15-minute minimum scheduled intervals. Free file processing is limited to 5 MB; pass links for video.
Free plan details ↗Use ChatGPT for strategy, research and creative review. Keep Caption Studio as the in-app writing tool. Claude, Perplexity, Notion and separate app builders overlap with this foundation; add one only when a specific job needs it.
This release adds no AI API calls or paid AI subscriptions. Provider APIs have their own pricing and limits.
Service limits checked October 10, 2026. Providers can change plans; linked official pages are authoritative.
The OS owns planning. Studio owns editing. External services each handle a specific job.
OS project ID, brand, deadline and original-file link → Photo Studio → Final. Today, you open the existing tools through the links above.
Drive keeps source files; the future OS asset record stores a provider file ID and access-controlled reference rather than duplicating full videos.
Calendar export works now. Live calendar sync will need Google account authorization and a server-side connector.
You review and share from Final. Newsletter sending stays in beehiiv. Posting to social accounts stays manual.
Each future event includes event_id, event_type, project_id, owner_id, schema_version, occurred_at and payload. Initial types: asset.registered, project.updated, draft.prepared and export.created. Adapters report disconnected, authorized, syncing or error from real server state. Tokens stay server-side. Use event_id for deduplication, bounded retries and a visible job log. No publish action exists in this contract.
