Getting Started with ArboraX

How the toolset works from the first click: no sign-up, autosave, where your data lives, and how to move it between devices. Read this once and everything else in the docs will make sense.

Overview

Every ArboraX tool runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create — open a tool and start working. Your progress saves automatically on your own device, so you can close the tab and pick up exactly where you left off.

This guide covers the handful of things that are true of every tool in the suite: how they load, where your work is kept, how to move it between devices, and what to do when something looks wrong. Read it once and the rest of the documentation will make sense.

Open the app

No sign-up, no install

ArboraX is built to remove friction between having an idea and acting on it. You do not register, you do not confirm an email, and you do not enter a card to try anything. Open any tool from the ArboraX app and begin immediately.

  • Open and go. Every tool loads ready to use, with no onboarding to sit through.
  • Autosave. Changes are written to your browser as you work.
  • Free. The tools cost nothing. The wider platform and done-with-you work live on Pricing.
  • One device, one browser. Because data is stored locally, your work lives in the browser you created it in.

Where your data lives

Each tool saves your work using your browser’s local storage. In plain terms: everything you create stays on your device and is never uploaded to an ArboraX server. Nobody at ArboraX can read your funnels, notes, or numbers.

  • Data persists between visits in the same browser on the same device.
  • Switching browsers or devices, or using private / incognito mode, starts fresh — data does not follow you.
  • Clearing your browser’s site data or storage removes your saved work, so export anything important first.
  • Any “insights” view inside a tool only ever summarises your own local data. There are no advertising cookies, trackers, or analytics scripts in the free tools.
Because your data is local, you are the backup. Keep periodic exports of anything you would hate to lose. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly what is and is not collected.

Importing & exporting

Exporting is how you back your work up and how you move it between devices. Tools that hold meaningful data include an export action, usually near the top-level menu.

  1. Export from the old device. Open the tool and use its export action to save a file of your current data. Do this for each tool you care about.
  2. Move the file. Send it to the new device however you like — email, a cloud drive, or a USB stick.
  3. Import on the new device. Open the same tool and use its import action to load the file. Your work reappears exactly as you left it.

The Tutorials include a full walkthrough of this with screenshots.

The six tools at a glance

The suite covers the full arc of a growth operation — from planning and modelling through to daily execution. For a deeper look at who each tool is for, see App Details.

  • Funnel OS — a visual systems architecture tool. Design how attention, customers, content, and revenue move through your funnel.
  • Task Manager — Daily Mode organises your life; Operator Mode runs your operation.
  • Notes — a growth operator’s workspace where every note is a strategic asset, not a blank page.
  • Calculator — a business-intelligence calculator for pricing, margins, and growth scenarios in real time.
  • Growth Simulator — stress-test a growth trajectory before you commit resources to it.
  • Growth Calendar — answers one question: what is the highest-leverage action to grow your business today?

Choosing where to start

Which tool you open first depends on what is actually blocking you right now.

  • You are busy but nothing is moving. Start with the Task Manager — get everything out of your head and let priorities decide your order.
  • You do not know where customers drop off. Start with Funnel OS and map the journey end to end.
  • You are unsure a channel pays for itself. Start with the Calculator, then take those numbers to the Simulator.
  • Your output is feast-or-famine. Start with the Growth Calendar and build a cadence you can hold.

If you want the thinking behind how these fit together, the Framework explains the operating model, and Funnelology maps hybrid funnels end to end.

Working across devices

The tools are fully responsive and work on phones and tablets as well as desktops — but your data is tied to the specific browser you use. Work started on your laptop will not appear on your phone unless you export and import it.

  • Use one primary browser for each tool and stick with it.
  • Avoid private / incognito windows for real work — storage is discarded when you close them.
  • Funnel OS is the exception on small screens. It is a whiteboard-driven workspace with dragging, connecting, and right-click menus, so it needs real screen space and a precise pointer. Open it on a laptop, desktop, or a large tablet in landscape.

Troubleshooting

My data disappeared

The most common cause is opening the tool in a different browser or on a different device, or the browser clearing its storage. Check you are on the same browser you started in, and restore from an export if you have one. This is almost never a service outage — but you can confirm on System Status.

The tool will not load

Refresh the page. If that fails, confirm your browser is up to date and that extensions are not blocking scripts — the tools rely on standard, modern browser features.

Funnel OS says my screen is too small

That is expected on phones. Open it on a laptop, desktop, or a large tablet in landscape.

Something still is not right

Check the FAQ first, then send the details via Contact Support or file a bug report and we will help you sort it out.

Where to go next

Once the basics are in place, the per-tool guides go deeper on each app.
