🔥 The Problem

Every creator knows this chaos:

Tool	What You Use It For
Linktree / Beacons	Bio links
ManyChat	DM automation
Notion / Notes	Content ideas
Sheets / Notion	Brand deal tracking
Later / Buffer	Scheduling
Native dashboards	Analytics

That's 6+ apps, 6+ subscriptions, 6+ logins — just to run your creator business.

CreatorOs ends this. One platform. Everything connected. Zero context-switching.
