Tough love for solo builders who need to ship
You've got ideas. You've got skills. You've got 47 items on your todo list. What you don't have is someone who'll tell you the truth: stop planning and ship the damn thing.
Built by a founder who shipped 20+ apps in 12 months

Watching your commits
15% done. It's 3pm. You said you'd ship by noon.
"I see you opened Twitter 12 times today. Your landing page still has placeholder text. Pick one."

Ships this week
Real-time accountability. No mercy.
Let's be honest
You already know what's stopping you
You keep adding features instead of launching
You've been 'almost ready' for weeks
You know what to do but keep avoiding it
A cofounder who pays attention
A Notion-style workspace with your projects on the left, your notes and todos in the center, and an AI cofounder in the sidebar who actually pays attention. Write your plans, and watch it call out your excuses in real-time.
That's feature #8. Have you shipped #1 yet?
— Your Mean Cofounder, probably
Tough love features
Everything you need to stop hiding and start shipping
Tough Love, Not Cruelty
Direct feedback from an AI that genuinely wants you to succeed. It's mean because it cares - not because it's a jerk.
Pattern Interrupts
"You're doing that thing again where you hide in planning." Mean Cofounder spots your avoidance tactics and calls them out.
Commitment Tracking
Said you'd launch today? It remembers. And it will ask you why you're still tweaking the CSS.
Ship-First Philosophy
Every nudge pushes toward action. Perfect is the enemy of shipped. Dark mode can wait.
Excuses it won't accept
Building is fun. We get it. But it's nowhere near as fun as having users and making money.
Ready to stop hiding?
Join the waitlist. Be first to get the cofounder who won't let you hide.
"I built Mean Cofounder because I needed it. I made 20+ projects last year and kept getting stuck in the 'almost ready' zone. This is the cofounder I wish I had - one who wouldn't let me hide."
— Miguel, Founder
