The ecosystem

Every module talks. So do every Mac Mini.

BusinessCore is not a collection of apps: it's a platform connected by an internal EventBus and a federation channel between instances. Every action automatically triggers the right downstream effects.

Internal EventBus

An OCR'd invoice triggers accounting, alerts the CRM, updates the dashboard and notifies the AI agent : in under a second, no fragile webhook.

Alliance & Marketplace

Multiple Mac Minis connected via Tailscale (group, franchise, multi-site) consolidate their data and exchange business templates without going through the cloud.

Multi-instance hub

A single launcher orchestrating HomeCore, BusinessCore and SoloCore when you run both pro and personal sides. One Tailscale key, one UI.

Mobile manager

iOS and Android app (Play Store v1.0) to drive your operations on the move: biometrics, offline mode, end-to-end encryption.

Use cases

Three trades, one platform

Industry-specific configurations preloaded at setup. Useless modules are disabled, the ones that matter are surfaced.

A day at your place

How modules chain together, from morning to next morning

Realistic scenario for a 15-cover restaurant. Each action automatically triggers the next ones, with no orchestration on your part.
