Productivity
Seven apps.
One membership.
Market research, AI news, task tracking, construction management and a daily journal. Each app stands on its own, and Apex+ opens five of them on a single membership instead of five separate bills. Breaking Metrics and World in Conflict are free to everyone.
The apps
A market terminal, an AI news engine, a construction platform, a task tracker, a daily journal, a newsletter and a live crisis map.
Fraywire
A market research terminal that puts charts, screeners, sector performance, economic boards and portfolio ledgers into one workspace you arrange yourself, instead of six browser tabs and a spreadsheet.
- Workspace: a configurable board of charts, quotes and widgets
- Screener & signals: top movers, sector heat, 20-day performance
- Ledgers: track positions, log trades, monitor performance across unlimited portfolios
- Macro & industries: economics boards and industry-level breakdowns
- Alerts: price alerts and a notification command center
Glideslope.ai
An AI-powered market news engine. It reads the wire so you don't have to, classifying every story for sentiment, grouping the day into briefings, and letting you interrogate the feed directly.
- Pulse: hourly curated briefings on the stories that actually moved something
- Sentiment scoring: bullish / bearish / neutral classification with numeric scores
- Live dashboard: rolling 24-hour sentiment across hundreds of articles
- Analyst chat: ask questions against the feed and the market data behind it
- Thematic desks: geopolitical risk, infrastructure, and sector coverage
CivilXL
Construction management built for civil engineers. An all-in-one platform that replaces the spreadsheet stack: document control, scheduling, rigging calculations, job builder tools, maps and CAD, all connected.
- Document control: field logs, RFIs, submittals, pay applications
- In-browser CAD: EasyCAD and a site planner, no desktop install
- 3D estimating: job builder and 3D takeoff tools
- Rigging & CG calculator: the field math, done properly
- Scheduling & maps: the plan and the site in the same place
- 30-day trial: plus a read-only live demo with no signup
urIssue
Your day, your projects, one timeline. A task tracker with a memory: every task carries its own running history of notes, progress, decisions and blockers, right under the task, where you can see it.
- Per-task history: what happened matters as much as what's next
- Working calendar: a schedule that reflects the actual work
- Built for complex work: construction projects, codebases, or a household
- Installable: runs as a PWA on desktop and phone
- Live demo: the real app in your browser, no account, nothing saved
Journaler
Log the day in a minute. One page a day for plans, sleep, work, training, meals and notes, and then the part nobody does by hand: it compares every measure against every condition in your own history and tells you, in plain sentences, which differences are real.
- One screen a day: nothing required, everything saves as you type
- Planner: today's plan, with your urIssue tasks on the right days
- Findings: plain-sentence insights, with how many days each one rests on
- Talk to your journal: ask questions about your own history
- Yours to keep: export everything as JSON or CSV
Breaking Metrics
“Where's money moving?” A periodic newsletter tracking capital flows through infrastructure, construction, energy and manufacturing, reported from the job sites rather than from a screen.
- Notes: the main essays on where capital is actually landing
- MiniMetrics: short data reads between issues
- Field-first reporting: coverage that starts where the work happens
- Free to subscribe: unsubscribe anytime
World in Conflict
A live geopolitical conflict and economic disruption map, rebuilt daily by AI intelligence analysis. It's the conflict layer of Glideslope, given its own front door. Free, no account needed.
- Live crisis map: events, actors and clusters plotted globally
- Intel feed: chokepoints, incidents and market consequences side by side
- Daily AI rebuild: the picture updates as the day does
- Free: a Glideslope surface, open to everyone
Apex+
One membership across Fraywire, Glideslope.ai, urIssue, Journaler and CivilXL.
Fraywire, Glideslope.ai, urIssue, Journaler and CivilXL each solve a different part of the same working day: read the market, read the news, track the work, log the day, run the job. Buying them separately would mean five subscriptions and five logins for one person's toolkit.
Apex+ is a single membership that covers all five: one Apex account, one bill, thirty days free to try it. Breaking Metrics and World in Conflict stay free and open, with or without a membership.
What a membership opens:
- Full access to Fraywire and Glideslope.ai (both keep a free version)
- CivilXL, urIssue and Journaler, every feature
- An assistant in every app: Fray, the Glideslope Analyst, Ask CivilXL, and Talk to your journal and your task list
- Apps that talk to each other: news into CivilXL and your Morning brief, articles and research into urIssue and Journaler, project documents into tasks
- Cloud saves in Apex Labs games
- $20 a month or $180 a year, no ads, cancel anytime
