Customer proposal due Friday
Review proposalResearch is complete and the draft is ready.
Commitment · approval still needs AlexKeep your work from living in your head.
Ro is a native, async workspace where work, relationships, responsibilities, and decisions stay coherent over time. It brings back what needs you and lets the rest stay quiet.

Nothing else needs you.Ro will return what changes.
The few things that need you. Nothing more.
Attention is a durable reason something deserves your awareness, judgment, or action now. A promise nearing its due date or a waiting threshold passing can qualify without any autonomous attempt.
Three things need you.

Follow-up threshold passed; no automatic authority
Approve follow-upAttention precision matters more than coverage. An empty surface and “Nothing needs you right now” are successful product outcomes.
Who does the work is not the point.
You, another person, an automation, or an agent can carry it out. Ro keeps the responsibility, authority, waiting, decision, and accepted outcome coherent.

External execution state
Responsibility and attention outlive the executorQuiet unless judgment is required
Agents increase the leverage. They do not create the need.
Ro should already earn its place for work you do yourself or with other people. Delegation makes the same durable record more valuable. A Workspace can hold your own scope, a team, a client engagement, or a company; the first commercial focus is owner-operated and small businesses.
Keep specialist work in specialist tools.
Ro can own the ordinary work while code, mail, accounting, payments, and execution details remain authoritative in their natural systems.
Ro
Tasks, notes, discussions, relationships
Source control
Code, issues, changes, checks
Mail and calendar
Messages, delivery, appointments
Specialist systems
Ro keeps the work and its organizational meaning connected.Accounting, payments, workflows, agent execution
Ro references external truth and reconciles relevant outcomes. It does not aggregate a full copy of every provider or demand that specialist work move into Ro.
Ro can be where the ordinary work happens.
Tasks, Notes, Projects, Discussions, People, Organizations, and Interactions are first-class native surfaces. Specialist artifacts can remain elsewhere without losing their meaning in Ro.
Can you send the revised proposal by Friday?
The conversation and delivery state remain in the mail provider.

Organizational state
Responsibilities, authority, decisions, outcomes, risk, and provenance remain durable across tools and handoffs.
Finite work
Ro Tasks give ordinary work a durable address; specialist work can retain its own canonical artifact.
Native work
Notes, Projects, Discussions, Tasks, and relationship records form a complete workspace when that is the simplest home.
External truth
Stable references lead back to source control, mail, accounting, files, workflows, and execution systems when authoritative detail matters.
Ro organizes responsibility and attention around the work.
It does not need to organize every artifact, replace every specialist tool, or become another screen you supervise.
Native and local-first from the beginning.
The complete local authority lives on your computer, needs no Ro account or server, and remains useful through the GUI, CLI, capture surfaces, agents, and integrations. Add synchronization only when the work needs it.
The complete local authority lives here.

Organizational state and any first-party records remain available without a Ro server.
WHEN THE WORKSPACE NEEDS TO TRAVEL
Add synchronization without changing what the work means.
Use Ro Cloud or a self-hosted Ro Server when people, devices, or remote workers need one shared authority. Native clients keep authorized work locally available.

A complete native workspace, with clear boundaries.
Tasks, planning, Projects, Notes, and relationship records are first-class Ro surfaces. Specialist systems remain authoritative where they are the better home.
Tasks belong to the work around them.Ro Tasks are first-class work surfaces beside Notes, Projects, Discussions, people, decisions, waiting, and history.→Plan the day without rebuilding the context.When you open it, Ro can prepare the few dated matters, returned commitments, reviews, and decisions that need you.→Remember the person, the promise, and the next follow-up.Ro connects People, Organizations, Opportunities, and Interactions to the Tasks, Notes, Projects, and Discussions that make a business relationship real.→Run the project, not the project-management software.Ro Projects are first-class contexts for outcomes whose work, knowledge, relationships, authority, and decisions benefit from one explicit boundary.→Knowledge is more useful when it stays connected to the work.Ro includes Notes and Discussions for knowledge that must inform a decision, explain a project, guide a person, or change what happens next.→A local-first alternative for work that must stay coherent.Notion is a flexible cloud workspace.→Give Claude Code the project state its next session needs.Claude Code can carry instructions and learned context across sessions.→
Writing from development
All writing →What part of your work still depends on your memory?
Join early access if commitments, waiting, decisions, or follow-up still require you to keep checking several tools by hand.
