✧ LifeStarr Intro
Build a business that serves your life.
The basics that you need to start and run a Life-First Solopreneur Business: the app that runs it, the Academy that teaches it, and the community that keeps you company. In one place, free.
Free forever. No credit card.
✧ Why it gets hard
You went solo for a life. Then the business started running you.
Not because you did anything wrong. It happens to solopreneurs everywhere, for three predictable reasons.
01
No Design
You built the business without first designing the life it was supposed to serve.
02
No System
You run on email, chat, and memory instead of commitments, so things slip.
03
No Plan to Evolve
There is no deliberate way to refine or rethink the business as your life or the world changes.
That is The Ownership Trap. The business ends up owning you.
✧ Who's behind this
We built this because we needed it.
Joe · Building companies since 1990
Joe has started a number of companies. One failed. Some he built up and sold. And most followed the same pattern: the business slowly swallowed the life it was supposed to support. LifeStarr is the system he wishes he'd had.
Carly · Fifteen years solo
Carly spent her agency years marketing everything from Fortune 500 brands to mom-and-pop shops, then went out on her own. Fifteen years solo taught her the part nobody warns you about: doing great work is only half the job. Getting noticed is the other half.
✧ A Boomer and a Millennial, two decades apart, hitting the same walls. LifeStarr is built from that shared experience.

✧ What's inside
Three things every solopreneur needs. All free.
Pillar 01
Run it.
The Commitment Control System that tracks every commitment, yours and the ones people made to you.
Pillar 02
Learn it.
The Academy, built for a business of one, starting with the Masterclass.
Pillar 03
Don't do it alone.
Community, live events, and a directory of solopreneurs you can hire and learn from.
Run it
The Commitment Control System, included free.
Not another project manager. The LifeStarr app runs every commitment in your business, the ones you make and the ones made to you, so nothing lives in your head and nothing slips.
Nobody else does this
Waiting For
Every other tool tracks what you owe. This one also tracks what people owe you.
And your clients won't mind
Works with people who never sign in
Assign work to clients and contractors. They participate by email. No account, no invite to decline.
1 email addressStandard List Views25MB max file size
Free covers one email address, standard list views, and 25MB maximum upload file size. If you outgrow that, LifeStarr Pro lifts the limits.
Learn it
Free education built for a business of one.
Most business education assumes a team, a budget, and someone to hand things to. The Academy assumes none of that. Everything in it is built for one person doing all of it.

✧ Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
-
Is LifeStarr Intro really free?
Yes. Free forever: the app, the Academy, the community, and live events, with no credit card and nothing to cancel. Paid tiers exist, but nothing on this page requires one.
-
Do the people I work with need an account?
No. Assign work to clients and contractors and they participate by email: accept, ask a question, update status, or decline, all without creating an account.
-
What is a Life-First Solopreneur Business?
A business deliberately designed around the life you want, then run so it stays that way. The formula: Life-First Design + Managed Commitments + Planned Evolution. It's the opposite of The Ownership Trap, where the business ends up owning you.
-
Do I need to be a full-time solopreneur?
No. Aspiring, side-hustling, or years in, Intro works the same. If you're building a business of one, it's built for you.
-
Do I get the full app or a limited version?
The full app, with free-tier limits: one email address, three Projects, and 5GB of storage. Loaded with features, including Waiting For and working with people who never sign in. LifeStarr Pro lifts the limits and adds more power when you outgrow them.
-
Can I get listed in the Solopreneur Connector?
Browsing is free for everyone. Your own listing in the directory comes with LifeStarr Premier.
-
What's the difference between Intro, Pro, and Premier?
Intro is the free hub: the app, the Academy, the community, and live events. Pro lifts the app's limits: more email addresses, more Projects, more storage. Premier is the whole system: the three Paths, StarrAI coaching, the book, and your listing in the Connector.
-
What happens to my work if I never upgrade?
Nothing changes. Your account, your data, and everything free stays free, forever. Upgrade only if you want more room in the app or the full Premier system.
Life First. Then Business.
The free hub for building a business that serves your life. It's all here, waiting.
No card, no catch, nothing to cancel.
