WaldorfOS · Local-first operations software
A private operating system for the work you run.

01 · Why it exists
Most software owns a slice. An owner runs the whole thing.
Mail, calendars, files, bids, and notes live in different tools and different accounts. WaldorfOS gives each part of your life and business its own workspace — and keeps the records on hardware you control.
Your records, your machine
The application and primary records live on your Mac, with local backups. The website has no window into them.
Connections you start
Google Mail and Calendar are read-only and run only when you ask. Nothing syncs in the background.
02 · WOI 1.0 · Available privately
What is built and installed today.
WOI 1.0 is the first WaldorfOS application. It is built, installed, and tested on one authorized Mac. Everything below exists in that installation today.
Distinct workspaces
Personal, holding company, operating company, and new ventures — each with its own records and views.
workspace → Operating company
records → isolated
records → isolated
Mail & Calendar, read-only
Manually initiated Gmail and Calendar connections. A small metadata sample; messages open only on request.
scope → read-only
trigger → user-initiated
trigger → user-initiated
Files, Journal & search
Personal Files, a daily Journal, and search across what you keep, all stored on the Mac.
storage → this Mac
search → across your records
search → across your records
Local backups
The application keeps local backups for recovery. Device and operating-system backups have their own settings and retention.
backup → local, scheduled
recovery → reviewed backups
recovery → reviewed backups
Opportunity desk
A company-specific desk that gathers public bid notices, checks relevance, and keeps a reviewed shortlist.
mode → review before action
scope → one company
scope → one company
Built to be checked
Every release is tested, reviewed, and installed deliberately — with a rollback kit kept for each one.
release → reviewed
rollback → kept

03 · Opportunity desk · Running for one company
From public notice to a shortlist you can trust.
Inside WOI 1.0, the desk gathers bid notices for one company from public sources including SAM.gov, checks each against what the business does, and shows why it surfaced. The owner decides; nothing is submitted automatically.
- GatherSAM.gov and other public sources, some checked on request, plus manual imports.
- QualifyRelevance checked against services, region, and constraints.
- ReviewA shortlist with reasons — the owner makes every call.

04 · The WaldorfOS family
One foundation. Products in sequence.
We say plainly what exists, what is being built, and what is planned. No product below is a public SaaS service today.
| Product | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
WOI 1.0Personal operating system | The local-first application described above: workspaces, mail and calendar snapshots, files, journal, search, and backups. | ● Available privately |
W OpportunitiesDiscovery & qualification | Configurable discovery of public opportunities, with relevance checks and a reviewed shortlist per business. | ◐ In development · pilots |
Proposal StudioRFP analysis & packages | RFP breakdown, requirement tracking, evidence organization, and editable submission packages. | ○ Planned |
Business DashboardsWorkspaces for a team | Independent business workspaces with configurable modules, permissions, and integrations. | ○ Planned |
05 · Privacy by design
Local-first, and clear about the exceptions.
Local-first describes where the application and its records live. Connections you authorize still talk to their providers — the policy explains exactly how.
Read the Privacy Policy- No account on this website. It serves information only and cannot reach the private application.
- Read-only Google access. Mail and Calendar cannot be changed by WOI.
- No Google data to AI models. Current integrations do not send account contents to an AI model.
- Records stay on the Mac. Primary records and backups are stored locally.
06 · Who it's for
Built by an owner, for owners.
WaldorfOS started as one owner's system for running several entities at once. The business products extend it to people with the same problem.
Multi-entity owners
Keep personal life, a holding company, and operating businesses in their own places.
→ WOI 1.0 workspaces
Service contractors
Bring public notices and manual imports into a shortlist to review against what your business does.
→ W Opportunities · pilots
Proposal teams
Turn an RFP into tracked requirements and organized evidence.
→ Proposal Studio · planned
07 · Pilots
Run a business that bids for work?
WaldorfOS is open to conversations with a small number of service businesses about piloting W Opportunities and, later, Proposal Studio. Pilots are scoped individually and start with a conversation.
- ConversationYour markets, how you find bids today, and what a good shortlist looks like.
- ConfigurationWe set up sources and relevance rules for your business — nothing runs unattended.
- Review togetherReview a scoped shortlist together and decide what is worth pursuing.
