Software

Small apps for real jobs, with the catch written up front.

They run on your own computer and open in your browser. Every listing says what you need, what a run costs you and where your text goes.

  • Windows, Mac or Linux
  • What you need, up front
  • Running costs from our own tests

Every Kitson Pro document comes with “Why I suggested this” and “Check these yourself”, and downloads as a Word file.

Kitson Pro · works with Claude Opus 5.5

Guided apps that hand back a finished document

Contract Explainer, Job Application Tailor, Business Plan Reviewer, Complaint Letter Writer, Study Guide Maker, Spreadsheet Formula Builder, Grant Application Helper, Small Business Policy Writer, Meeting Action Plan and Document Q&A.

Guided questions and a built-in sample, so you never face a blank box. When an app quotes your document, it checks the wording and marks any quote it cannot find.

Not for you if you need professional advice: these apps explain, summarise and draft, and what they write can be wrong.

Buy one app on its own ($29 each)

What each one does: the app guide.

Please read before buying

What you need: each app runs on your own computer with free Node.js 18+ (Windows, Mac or Linux) and your own Anthropic account and key. You pay Anthropic directly for what you use, on top of the price of the app: in our own tests a run cost about 4 to 30 cents. The app shows the cost before each run and after it, and you set a limit for one run. A Claude chat subscription does not include this.

Every finished document comes with “Why I suggested this” and “Check these yourself”, and downloads as a Word file. For educational purposes only: not legal, financial, tax, medical or other professional advice, and what the apps write can be wrong. Kitson Workshop is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. If you can’t get one running, email [email protected] within 14 days and I’ll help, or refund the price of the app.

Spreadsheet Formula Checker, Data Sheet Comparer, Statistics Reporting Checker, Revision Change Register, Test Results Against Limits, Reference List Checker, Long Report Consistency Checker, Evidence Table Builder, Requirements Trace Matrix and Reviewer Response Matrix.

Buy one app on its own ($39 each)

What each one does: the app guide.

Early release: please read before buying

Each app needs your own OpenAI API key. It will not run without one, and a ChatGPT subscription does not include one. These apps still need further testing: each has passed our own offline tests and has been run on its built-in sample against the live service (October 2026), but has not yet been tried on a wide range of real files. You may meet faults. After you buy, please tell us what you find: email [email protected] with the subject “Maxxing feedback”. Fixes are sent to buyers free.

What you need: each app runs on your own computer with free Node.js 18+ (Windows, Mac or Linux) and your own OpenAI account with API access and a key. You pay OpenAI directly for what you use, on top of the price of the app: in our own tests on short sample files a run cost about 3 to 35 cents, and longer files cost more. The app shows the cost before each run and after it, and you set a limit for one run.

For educational purposes only, and for your own research and your own documents. The apps point things out for you to check: they do not certify, approve or sign off anything, what the AI writes can be wrong, and they are not a substitute for review by a qualified person. Kitson Workshop is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI. If we cannot get an app running for you, email [email protected] within 14 days for a refund of the app price.

Quick sorting apps

Paste a pile in, get it sorted in seconds

Paste a pile of messages, reviews, tasks or transactions and get them sorted, with unsure rows marked for you to check, and a spreadsheet (CSV) download.

These small apps run on your computer and use Jev, a fast decision model from TypeSafe AI, with your own API key (about a thousandth of a cent per check at launch prices). Your text goes to TypeSafe, after email addresses, phone numbers and card-like numbers are removed; they’re not offline apps.

Not for legal, medical or emergency messages. Automated sorting can be wrong.

Two more families, each with its own page

For small sellers, and for people learning to trade

Biz Maxxing Sales

AI sales helpers for small shops and solo sellers

All ten are out, from follow-ups, quotes, sales reviews and forecasts to objection practice, commission statements, win-loss analysis and call reviews. Figures come from code; the apps never contact customers.

$79 or $99 each Your own Anthropic key

Each app is reviewed on video by Biz. Biz is an AI host with a computer-generated voice; his background is a character story written by Kit, who runs Kitson Workshop and reviews every script.

Kitson Maxxing Trading

Ten apps to test, practise and learn

Review your own trades against your own rules, test a strategy honestly, practise with the future hidden. Every number is worked out and checked in code, and the apps never tell you what to buy or sell.

Education only $49 to $69 each · $449 for all 10 Your own Anthropic key

Educational only. Not financial advice. Trading can lose money. The apps never place trades.

Questions

Does my ChatGPT or Claude subscription cover the running cost?

No. Kitson Pro needs an Anthropic API account and key, and App Maxxing needs an OpenAI API account and key. Chat subscriptions do not include API access. Each listing explains how to get a key.

Do any of these work offline?

Only the private AI apps in Private mode, which use free Ollama on your own computer. The other three families send your text to their AI provider.

Can the apps be wrong?

Yes. Every family says so on its listing. Check anything that matters before you rely on it.

I’m not sure I can set it up. What then?

Watch the free videos for the family first, and read the setup section of the listing. If you buy and can’t get it running, email [email protected] within 14 days.
