We believe content deserves a real workspace — not a blank page.
Contents Lab is a calendar-anchored, AI-augmented, mobile-native workspace for the full content lifecycle: plan, research, write, publish, measure. We built it because the tools we used every day treated content as a one-off document instead of a body of work.
From a long flight to a public beta.

The idea, on a long flight
Two writers and an engineer spent fourteen hours on a plane talking about why every content tool they used felt like a different shape of the same problem. By landing, the first Contents Lab outline was on paper.

First private beta
Ten teams. One Project each. A calendar, an editor, a Source Library, and one AI agent. We watched what they did — and rebuilt half the editor before opening to more testers.

Mobile-native rewrite
The desktop-first prototype was usable but ugly on a phone. We rebuilt the entire app shell mobile-first — the bottom tab bar, the slide-in drawer, the calendar that fits in 375px.

Public beta on Cloudflare
Open sign-ups, four publishing channels, three AI agents, and a wallet. The platform you are reading about right now.
A small team that uses Contents Lab every day.
We ship from inside the platform. If a feature is awkward for us, it is awkward for you.

Aisha T.
Writing + contentThe first external writer to use Contents Lab. Joined to make sure the editor stays out of the way.
Yusuf K.
Mobile + UXWrote the mobile tab bar three times until it felt right. Now writes the docs that explain it.

Community + supportTalks to users every day. The roadmap is half hers.
Four principles we ship against.
Calendar first
Every Project opens to a calendar. The calendar is the spine of the work, not a side channel. If a feature does not fit on the calendar, we have not built it right.
Sources, not screenshots
If you cannot cite it, you cannot use it. The Source Library is the long-term memory of every Project, not a list of forgotten bookmarks.
AI as a teammate
AI does real, scoped work — outlines, source selection, channel variants — and we show the work. Chatbot answers are not enough for serious content.
Mobile-native, not mobile-shrunk
We design for the 375px viewport first. If it does not feel like an app on a phone, we are not done yet.
