mansıra
For independent creative work

Your work, held gently.

Mansira keeps your clients, what you agreed with them, your day and your drafts on your own computer. When you ask, Claude helps through your own sign-in, and nothing is saved, sent or published until you say yes.

Version 1.0, Jhilmil. In a small private pilot, for Mac and Windows.

A day with Mansira

One thing at a time, kindly.

Today shows the one thing that matters now. Nothing is ever called late or overdue. Unfinished things come forward on their own, and the rest waits behind a tap.

Morning

Start where you left off

Your morning routine, your calendar's appointments, and where you were last time. Before a call that names a client, Mansira offers one page of what to remember about them.

Working

Focus, or company

Focus 25 or 45 minutes puts one task on the screen with a quiet timer. Work with me sits in the corner instead and checks in every twenty minutes with one kind line.

Evening

Close the day, plan tomorrow

"That's enough for today" ends with a small moment. Then say what tomorrow holds, out loud or typed, and it becomes a short list you check before it lands.

What it does

The busywork of a studio, handled with you.

Mansira prepares; you decide. Every plan, draft and reading waits for your review, and the app itself checks what Claude says before you see it.

Agreements

Every request, checked against what you agreed.

Record the scope once: what is included, what is not, revisions, the fee and the due date. When a client asks for more, Mansira says so plainly, and you choose what happens.

  • Not included, goodwill with the fee unchanged, or quote separately later. Your choice is recorded.
  • Five kinds of help: a plan and first draft, creative directions, research for a decision, a distribution diagnosis, or a shoot pack with call sheet, shot list and props.
  • You see the exact words that will go to Claude before anything is sent.
Conversations

Paste the chat. Keep what matters.

Copy a WhatsApp, Instagram or email thread and paste it. Claude reads it once and lists what was asked, what you promised and what is still unanswered.

  • Every quote is checked word for word against what you pasted.
  • "By Friday" becomes a date you confirm; "15k" stays a note, never an agreed fee.
  • The chat itself is not kept. Only what you choose to add is saved.
Voice

Just say it.

Press one shortcut and talk: what's on today, add a task for tomorrow, what you agreed with a client, open a page, start focus. Mansira understands you on your own computer and asks before it changes anything.

  • Speech becomes text on your computer. The recording is never kept or sent.
  • It learns the brand names and places you say often, and asks "did you mean?" when unsure.
  • Its own little lines can be English or Hinglish.
My Way

It learns your way, only with your yes.

Tell Mansira what you would change next time, or let Claude look at how you edited its drafts. Each suggestion is written the way you would say it, and nothing is used until you approve it.

  • Ways of working for one client, or for all your work.
  • Every suggestion shows the exact words you changed, so you can see why.
  • Print your ways of working as a little zine.
And everything around the work

The whole studio, in one calm place.

Quick capture

One shortcut, anywhere on your computer. Type or say it; it waits in your inbox until you sort it.

Retainers

Hours or set work each month, time logged with one tap, and a month-end report with a copy safe to share.

Content calendar

Posts on a month grid: planned, drafted, approved by the client, posted by you. Mansira never posts.

Moodboards and reels

Drop pictures in, iPhone photos too. They never go to Claude. Turn the ones you pick into a short reel, made on your computer.

What to remember

One page per client: the agreement, what's open, your notes and the next two weeks.

Week and day card

Look back on what you finished. Save today as a card to print or keep on your phone.

Calendars and reminders

Reads your Apple or Google calendar, never writes to it. Gentle reminders, never about anything being late.

Your website

A portfolio draft built from the work you choose, online only when you press Publish, with undo.

Share with a client

A separate copy of the work you choose, without fees, notes or anything about other clients. You send it yourself.

Daily backup

A checked copy of everything, once a day, to a folder or drive you choose. Restore into a new folder whenever you need it.

Morning and evening light

Warm paper by day, candlelight by night, and a calm mode with no movement or sound.

Check for updates

Only when you press it, Mansira asks for the newest version number. Nothing about you is sent.

What stays yours

Your clients never become someone else's data.

There is no Mansira account and no Mansira server. Your records live in a folder on your computer, and you can back them up, move them or delete them like any other files.

On your computer

Clients, agreements, briefs, drafts, notes and pictures stay in your own workspace folder.

Claude only when you ask

Only the material you choose for one request goes to Anthropic, through Anthropic's own app, signed in as you. Mansira never sees your password.

One client at a time

A request carries that client's material only. Fees, payment status and your private notes are not sent.

Approvals that mean something

Saving, sharing and publishing each wait for your yes. An approved draft cannot be changed behind your back.

Claude, on your terms

Your own Claude plan, used thoughtfully.

Mansira works with your own Claude subscription through Anthropic's official app. Choose how much thinking each request gets, and see how much of your plan you have used.

QuickA shorter answer with fewer items, for simple requests.
UsualThe right amount of thinking for most requests.
Think harderA stronger model for a hard brief. It takes longer and uses more.
What you need

Simple to set up, once.

A Mac or a PC

A Mac with an Apple chip on macOS 13 Ventura or later, or Windows 10 or 11 on a 64-bit PC.

Your own Claude plan

Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise, signed in as you. The free plan does not include it.

About 1 GB

Of free space, plus about 80 MB more if you want to speak instead of type.

Thirty minutes

To install, connect Claude and practise with a pretend client. The guide walks you through it.

Made for people who make things by hand.

Mansira is in its first, private pilot and is not available to download yet. The guide shows everything it does, step by step.
