HEADROOM is the freelancer's fuel gauge: log one energy reading a day out of 100, see today's load against it, and export a capacity card to clients. I built it because I have tracked exactly this number in a notes file for a year and always wished it were an instrument instead. Built in Flowstep via MCP from Claude Code, with a locked brutalist design system and tons of love. 😍 🎉

I'm a solopreneur and I work nights. Money isn't the thing I run out of, focus is. So I built a bank for it.
Your focus is the money. Deep work earns you deposits. Doom scrolling is a withdrawal, and it charges you every time. There's a ledger, a weekly statement, the whole thing. This week my biggest expense was Twitter, followed closely by clients asking for a third revision.
And if you burn more focus than you had, the bank sends you a very serious overdraft notice for the crime of staying up too late.
It's a stiff old bank that takes your nonsense completely seriously. Seven screens, all built in Flowstep.
At the start of my video, that's Claude building a screen straight into Flowstep over MCP. I'm not touching anything.

amazing work🔥
Hello everyone I'm Prem, and this is ORBIT, my entry for the Flowstep.ai Challenge.
We all lose touch with friends we loved from school, from college. Nobody's fault. Life gets busy, and by the time you notice, it's been years.
Losing a friend isn't a decision you make; it's something you find out about, long after it happened. Everyone means to react out . Nothing reminds you that you haven't.
So I built the thing that keeps track. In Orbit you're the sun, and your friends are planets orbiting you. How far out a planet sits is how long you've been quiet. Tanmay hasn't heard from me in 212 days, so he's stopped moving he's asleep, with little z's floating off him.
The distance isn't decoration, the picture is the data. Your glance at your galaxy.
And it doesn't nudge you to "check in." It gives you a reason: her show opens Friday, and you saved her flyer in March. You send a Shooting Star, she replies, her orbit pulls back in.
It never reads what you wrote. It only notices that you talked.
I connected Flowstep to Claude Code over MCP and drove the whole build from my terminal. Loading my design system in as Flowstep's design guidelines first is what made 21 screens feel like one product. Then I put it live, so it's a real app you can use.
Send someone a shooting star and see what comes back 😊 .

ROLLOUT: the tool an artist opens the day they finish a song.
Every artist knows the feeling. You finish a song, you sit back, and for about ten seconds it's pure magic. Then reality hits. Because a finished song is only half the job. Now you need the cover art, the visualizer, the TikToks, the press kit, the release page, and a plan to get it everywhere on the same day. That mountain is where most songs quietly die. Not because they were bad, but because the artist ran out of energy before the world ever heard them.
I've lived in that exact gap for years, and I kept asking one question: why is there no tool that takes my finished song and just builds the entire release for me? Not ten different apps. Not a spreadsheet and a prayer. One place.
So I built it. It's called Rollout. You drop in one finished track and it generates your whole release kit in minutes: cover art, an animated visualizer, ready-to-post social clips, an EPK, and a release page, all staged for launch day. Then it hands you the wheel, so you can direct every single piece until it feels like you.
And it's not a flat mockup. It's a real, clickable product you move through, seven connected screens:
Import: drop in your finished track, and Rollout reads the key, BPM, and length.
Building: you watch it generate the release kit in real time.
Ready: the whole kit lands, done.
Dashboard: your release command center, with every asset, a readiness ring, and a distribution checklist for Spotify, Apple, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Cover Art: you direct the AI with mood, palette, and prompt, then pick the cover.
Social Cutdowns: auto-cut vertical clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, captioned and ready.
Launch: everything staged with a countdown to release day, one button to schedule it all.
Here's the part that gave me chills. I didn't build it with fake demo data. I built it around my own song, Fail Safe. That's my real cover art living inside the app. Those are my actual lyrics turning into the social clips. My release, my art, my words, running through a tool that only existed in my head an hour earlier. I described the exact product I wished existed, connected right into my workflow through Flowstep's MCP, and watched it become real, screen by screen.
Rollout is the tool I'd open the day I finish my next song. And now it actually exists. That's the whole point of building the thing you wish someone would make: sometimes that someone is you.
