I built my first SaaS product in 2013.
Since then I’ve done it more than two dozen times. I built 4 startups. I understand SaaS deeply. But there is something about buying software subscriptions that has always bugged me.
Once great web apps made by tiny startups have become shitty platforms maintained by tech giants. This phenomenon is known as enshittification 💩
Just look at how Netflix when from this:
To this:
The reason is simple. It was an amazing business decision:
"Profits soar after password sharing crackdown"
Netflix cannot grow its enterprise value by expanding to new markets because they already conquered the entire world.
So they had to start extracting more cash out of…you.
As a bootstrapping solopreneur, nobody is coming to help you. You’re trying to balance making money, growing, building your business. You’re cash poor so you want to save up time but $15 here, $25 there, a VA for this, a VA for that and all of a sudden you’re spending $1k per month on upkeep which will only scale north as you grow. While you’re running a one person show.
I had this exact same issue at every single one of my companies.
Until I figured out how can I go fully self hosted and save on the upkeep.
The No-Code Tax
That $1k you pay every month is what I call the No-Code Tax .
You’re not a developer so you have no idea about the vast ocean of open source alternatives you can self-host. So you’re stuck with SaaS subscriptions. Just because there’s a skill gap, you have to pay more.
I don’t think that’s fair so I decided to change it and that’s how alfredOS was born.
Introducing alfredOS
alfredOS was built for domain experts without tech background. You have your own business to take care of and while you’re tech savvy, you’re not that tech savvy. So you turn to AI tools to help you but it’s still a big mountain to climb.
So here’s how I save $1k per month on replacing a team of VAs and an army of overpriced SaaS subscriptions.
alfredOS is the world’s first business operating system for solopreneurs it contains everything you need to set up shop and start making money. For every tool, app and agent you will receive the source code, the workflow and a step by step documentation on how to use them.
You log into alfredOS via your custom domain and you instantly have an online hub that replaces ALL of the below apps:
But that’s not all. You’ll also get full access to Alfred v1.0, my personal butler.
If you don’t know what that is read these two articles:

Alfred lives as a set of interconnected n8n workflows. It also has some pretty cool features: First off it can manage my email and my calendar for me.
Second it has a bunch of unique skills:
Deep Research
Database Search (text to SQL)
It can connect to ANY SQL database and search and manipulate data just by you sending a voice note or a few words.
Cognitive Architecture Designer
Alfred can also help you design automations by turning your notes into actual documentation. This feature is battle-tested because this is the exact documentation template I generate with this exact workflow for my clients.
How to get access?
Pre-order for 50% off!
alfredOS is in development. I’m opening pre-orders so I can fund hiring someone to finish it. I’m planning to sell alfredOS at $297, but you can get it for a $147 pre-order price.
